Calibre doesn't play audio and video

Hi everyone,
i have a problem with Calibre. My actual version is 3.15. I created an eBook with Sigil and Audio/Video are playing correctly on other ebook readers (Readium google chrome extension, Microsoft Edge) but on Calibre the player displays but i can't play anything. I attached the screen in this post.

The video format is .mp4 and the audio format is .mp3. I already tried to install third part video codec (K-lite codec pack) but nothing changes.

Also in the Sigil preview i can play video and audio correctly. I don't know what do to.

I have Windows 10.

please help! thanks

The calibre viewer does not support audio/vide. You can use the in browser viewer that comes with the calibre content server, but the standalone viewer does not support it.

I hope not. A lot of extra complexity for no value. Real books never have audio and video and Mac, Linux & Windows have no shortage of clients for those.

Not something I care about personally, but patches are welcome.

I've only encountered it in one book In a library catalog of 10,000. It would be nice that if the ebook viewer cannot play the audio or video itself, that it would at least give us an option to have an external application play it
