Movies App crashing when playing 4K video Z5 Premium w/ android 32.1.A.1.163

I updated my z5P to the new firmware 32.1.A.1.163 via PCC. The app was working well, and I could play almost every 4K video I throw at it but after the update the movies app keeps crashing when I try to play old 4k videos. I have no problem when I record in 4K, also I used VLC video player and they do run any video that I play (even 4k, but I dont think I can get 4k resolution)

The videos that I try to watch are from this site

I can still play them by using VLC player app on my device

(I loved to show to my friends the awesome 4k #display of the Z5 premium and everyone loves the high quality details from the screen)

I really look forward for an update fix soon. Movies app version on my device: 9.5.A.0.20.

Everything else runs great, except that I also found a bug when displaying battery usage, no system icons appear, except a shadow like icon (screenshot attached) but I can live with that 😛

Everything else is running ok.

Hi,

I've only recently got my firmware updated and I have the same problem. None of the 4k videos can be played any more. The phone crashes after a couple of seconds, resets to default screen settings / theme, regardless of where the file sits or which app I use to play it. This also applies to videos recorded with the same device on which I'm trying to play them. Sony must have stuffed up something really bad here... Hopefully next unwanted update will fix this bug.
