Z5 doesn't play videos

Hi,
a few hours after starting the device it doesn't play videos. No matter if I'm using the video app or videos /streams in Chrome. It's Android 6.0 and it's really annoying.
Any guesses?

are the videos in the phone's internal storage/SD card?

Do you experience the same in safe mode?

It is with internal and sd and streams... When I restart the phone it works for a few hours...

Today I got the 6.0.1 update, maybe it is fixed now. I wait a few days and write again.

Probably a third party acting up, follow @Phy's suggestion

I seems to work with the update but now I saw a black spot in the corner of all pictures, so after 6 months my Z5 comes to an end obviously... Slightly_frowning_Face

What about 

settings > apps > all > album > clear data > restart the phone
