Well, I found this article that seems to have the solutions you seek. It also looks like the problem is generic and you are not an isolated incident:

I would suggest you go with the VLC option. Its tried and tested and its a platform that has been around for years. Plus its the goldilocks of media players. It does literally everything. I used to use it to embed subs to my movies.

I noticed some files from Streamtape have lost the .MP4 extension and somehow put the date as the file type.
Add .MP4 on the end and it wotks fine.
