Cannot play any video on Linux

When trying to load any video, I get "could not play this video, try Chrome". While it's odd that a desktop app asks me to try Chrome, I think this is actually not a video issue (it happens with many formats), but a path issue, because of the following steps:

  1. I click "open video".
  2. I select "/tmp/myvideo.mp4".
  3. "Video could not be loaded, try Chrome".
  4. I click "open video" again.
  5. The dialog box says "_tmp_myvideo.mp4".

I think the explorer tries to sanitize the path and then can't find the video at the sanitized location, so it fails.

Just to mention, I have recoded the video as per the README to no avail.
