not sure what exactly what or why it happened, but video was being recorded using an android phone - camera app crashed.

the file is named blablabla.mp4.tmp (size is about 1.4gb)
renaming to blablabla.mp4 does not help
no media player is able to play the file

seems to be a header issue
any suggestions on what software to repair the file ?
 
@Grant try open the file with ffmpeg's display tool (ffplay). It is command line though, so I guess it depends on how familar you are with that sort of thing. If ffplay is capable of rendering the video, then you can remux the video and audio into an mp4 or matroska file

If you're willing to trust a stranger on the internet, you can upload the file to google drive / icloud / mega.nz and message me the link and I will try fix it for you
