On the positive side, the XF app was finally able to see the 3 clips when I copied the CONTENTS folder onto a USB drive. The bad news is that they're all displayed as black/empty video, even though I have the Canon XF-AVC and XF-HEVC Decoders installed - so I still have more work to do.
The other issue is that all 3 clips on the SD card (the ones that I can't play) are 25p AVC 4:2:0, not the 50p HEVC 4:2:2 clips I was expecting. Can you clear the SD card, change the settings and record at least one clip then upload the contents again? Make sure the lens cap is open, just in case
Sorry for the confusion, but to prevent images of my hardware and desk etc. on the internet I choose to keep the lens cap closed. I thought you would not need the video. Using headphones, the panning from right to left in front of the audio source can be heard clearly, so no video needed. If you do not hear a difference: that is my problem ☹ it is mono. Playback in Canon XF Utility clearly reveals stereo sound because it can switch on and off each of the four channels and attribute them to left or right. I already asked Canon to have the option of exporting the resulting video/audio combination.
The clip in de HEVC_001 folder is 50 fps according to MediaInfo:
