So I am learning the Linux/Ubuntu command line. One of the things I want to be able to do is to use the Ubuntu terminal (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to open video files (mp4) on my computer (Windows 10).
I have tried VLC and MPlayer, but when I run vlc filename or mplayer filename, it gives me a very long error. It seems like it is running, but only shows text and then gives a long error.
