Try running:

(Change the output file as necessary, but make sure it has an .mp4
extension.)
See if that file will play.

so I did: [bobg@box83 ~]$ ffmpeg -i
'/mnt/box48/2018-ELLA-DANCE/finalVideo.MP4' -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -c copy
~/testoutput.mp4
and that plays when I do: $ vlc testoutput.mp4
However, mp4's did play before /i/ began this exercise, now when I try
to open the original file from Thunar nothing seems to happen ...
What that command did was repackage the content into an mp4 container
and remove those two unrecognized streams. There was no re-encoding
involved. It's the exact same video bitstream as the original file.
Something about those extra streams is causing a problem with the
players. You can run that process on all the files you're having
trouble with. I often do the same thing to get files to play on a
Chromecast. It won't play .mkv files even though the content is exactly
the same as the resulting .mp4 file that does play.
In future, ask whoever is sending these videos to you to turn off hevc
on their camera app.

The other file format you mention is probably one of these:
/mnt/box48/2018-05-MAY-12-ELLA-SCARLETT/IMG_7557.HEIC
J believe that is an alternate for jpeg and we have avoided using it so
far.
It applies to video as well. Although in your case, you do still have
the h264 stream. Maybe it has both or maybe there was a conversion done
somewhere along the line. See the following link for a description of
your problem on Macs:
