VLC default for MP4 and digital signature check
Posted: 26 Nov 2019 10:21
Hi
Not sure it is really a VLC issue but for some reason I can't seem the OS to keep the association for MP4 being opened by VLC (ie double click MP4 file -> open in VLC). It seems to regularly revert to Quick time player...
More worrying if I reset it (open with -> other -> VLC -> always use) for some reason the OS would refuse to play the video because "it is from an unidentified developer" (Ie gatekeeper would apparently run a digital signature check on the video and, as it is obviously not signed, would refuse VLC access to it). Very weird...
Anyone else seeing this ?
