BT Cloud - Error playing large video files

Hi, I have read several posts about issues uploading large files to BT Cloud but my problem is not uploading them it is playing them after they have uploaded. I am using the cloud app on my iPhone and/or the cloud website on my Mac, on the iPhone I get an error message 'could not play video' and for the same video on the cloud website I get a more meaningful error message of 'File XXX is too big to be playable'. 

I have uploaded several different sized videso and the tipping point seems to be between 250mb-350mb, a lot of my home videos are 500mb+ so this is a real problem for me.

BT can you shed any light on this? I dont want to be breaking apart some of these videos just to get them to play, they upload ok?

thanks, Mark.

Re: BT Cloud - Error playing large video files

I raised this issue with the helpdesk & the answer was that BT engineers are aware of an existing issue playing video files over 300Mb but I have been unable to get an answer as to progress & resolution, are you able to help with this please? Also, I dont know if all the large files already uploaded will just start playing when the fix is in place or whether I will need to upload them all again.

Mark.

I'm guessing you've not managed to get this resolved yet? Very annoying....

Not heard a thing which is disappointing as all I’m asking for is a fix date being as the problem has been identified.

BT are you able to update the community?
