      Hi, It plays back perfectly when I use VLC ..but when I go to view live view on ring app flashes green screen rapidly and when I go to ring app to play it back it buffers and freezes, but as I said my rear ring camera and doorbell camera work ok on ring app on my phone, Also I opened ring app on my old samsung and all three play record etc perfectly so strange, there must be a simple fix somewhere
