Hello. I have a question.

My MusicBee video library doesn't play 4K webm video files. Plays only audio.
I am trying to play and open with VLC media player. The video file itself have no problems and works fine.
4k mkv opens and works fine in musicbee.

Does anyone have a similar problem. Is there a fix. Can anyone help me.

sorry for my bad english.

Best regards,
Rein

Are you trying to launch the video from within MB?
Do you have VLC set up in Preferences > Tools?
Do you have the file(s) in the Video node? Preferences > Layout (1) > left sidebar > video?

If yes to all of the above and it's still not working
What version of MB are you using? (Help > About)
How was MB installed? (Installer, Portable, Store)
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Yes I try to launch the video from within MusicBee and I have the files in video node. I should have the latest version 3.3.7367.

You don't know?
BTW, 7367 is not the latest. From MB's download page the latest is 7491. But even that has been updated by patches. I suggest the 3.4 patch in my sig. You don't need to do anything but follow the directions in the sig. I can't guarantee that this will fix your issue, but it always helps to be running the latest version.

You are right I didn't had the latest version. I updated but it didn't fix the problem.

Assuming you have added the file to the Video node in MusicBee then yes its a bug which has been fixed for the next v3.4 update.
If you have the file anywhere else such as in the Music node then MB will only play audio
