Android :: Cannot Play Video - VideoView Broken?
Feb 11, 2009
VideoView video_view = new VideoView(context); video_view.setVideoPath("res/raw/movie.mp4"); video_view.setMediaController(new MediaController(context)); video_view.requestFocus(); video_view.start();
Seems simple, but even with video files that I've seen work in other video players on the phone, I keep getting the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" message. And this associated debug info: INFO/MediaPlayer-JNI(234): prepareAsync: surface=0x1a3ff0 (id=1) ERROR/MediaPlayer(234): Error (-4,0) DEBUG/VideoView(234): Error: -4,0
what those errors mean or how I can fix this? If this is not how I should be using VideoView please let me know. I'd appreciate being sent in the right direction for how to get a local video file playing within a view.

I can't figure out why am i not able to play the video in my VideoView. All i'm getting a message is Cannot Play Video : Sorry, this video cannot be played. I created an SD card for my emulator as well. Do i need to place me SD card in a particular folder in my SDK?

VideoView cannot play long path video issue: Bug#8699
enviroment: Platform 2.0 simulator and G2 H/W.
If setVideoPath("/data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/Transformers.mp4");
It can play well.
While, If setVideoPath("/data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/content/ Transformers.mp4");
It cannot play.
Btw: familiar things occured when I display the jpeg file
bit = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileName); mImgView.setImageBitmap(bit);
If the fileName is /data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/content/2.jpeg It cannot display
While, If the fileName is /data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/2.jpeg It display well.

I have a ListView with information about videos. Once a row is selected, I use a ViewFlipper to show the VideoView. If I go back to the listview (I have a button), the videoview keeps playing. How can I stop the video and hide the videoview when I go back to the listview?

I'm using VideoView to play an RTSP video stream. It works fine, however on my Android phone the audio lags the video by about 3 seconds. If I watch it on my computer with VLC both the audio and video are in sync. Has anyone else experienced this audio delay before and how might I go about correcting it on the phone.

I wanted to stream A/V from my machine to Android over HTTP
(http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/libav-user/2010-July/004944.html).
But that does not seem feasible using FFMpeg. I am planning to try FFMpeg streaming over RTSP. But I am not sure whether MediaPlayer or VideoView classes on Android support RTSP playback. Is playing RTSP stream possible in simple application?

I am using a VideoView to display a video. I am using setOnPreparedListener and setOnCompletionListener to do stuff before and after the video starts and ends.
I was wondering how I could go about detecting some point of time in the video. For eg, say I want to write log to a file when the video has played for 10s. How can I detect the 10s mark?

I've got an Activity with two views set up in a ViewFlipper. One of the views is a layout with a GLSurfaceView and a few other widgets, the other just has a layout with a TextView and a VideoView. When I click on something in the GLSurfaceView, the ViewFlipper swaps so the video can play. In this screenshot, you can see the plain GLSurfaceView rendering a map on the left. On the right is what it looks like after the ViewFlipper has flipped and the video starts playing. The empty transparent area where the GLSurfaceView shows through is where the video is supposed to be. I can hear it playing through the speaker and the timeline is moving forward, so I know it's playing.

I have a problem in playing video file in android using VideoView. When I keep the .3gp video file locally in res/raw folder, the video file plays successfully. But when I keep this same file on live web server and stream it, it runs on Android G1, Nexus one and Tatoo which I have for testing. But It fails to stream and play on Motorola milestone. I got the error on device as: 'This video is not valid for streaming'. What problem it should be, I am really seek of finding it. Is it the issue of programming or file format?

I have two Activities: one with VideoView attached to MediaPlayer and the second one.
I start watching a video in the first Activity, then during playback I start second Activity.
After going back to first Activity I can hear sound but see no picture.
My Video Layout...
Do you have any ideas why video doesn't appear?

How does Android handle scaling of a video being played within a VideoView?
So for example if I have a video that is say 480 X 270 (width and height), aspect ratio 16:9. And, say the VideoView is added to a LinearLayout with LayoutParams of (480, 270). What will be width and height of the rendered video in portrait orientation in a device that is 320 X 480? In landscape? In another device that is 320 X 550?

I know this is not a big deal but it is still bothersome. When I try to run video while on Yahoo's site I get message "Cannot play video - Sorry this video cannot be played." I have no issues with ESPN, Cnet, etc. I'm able to run these yahoo videos on my wife's Eris with 2.1 (v.3).
Anyone know how to deal with this issue?

I've converted a movie to MPEG1 to view on my G1.I couldn't find it in the Gallery section, nor under MixZing's Video tab.So I went through Astro to find it.Sure enough, I see the icon for it, but when I tap the icon to view the movie I get a warning saying,"Cannot play video.Sorry, this video cannot be played."So I converted to MPEG2.Am I doing something wrong or can mpegs not be played on the G1? (I'm pretty sure they can.I once watched a downloaded TV series on it.)

I have a URL for a video file which I need to play using the native Video-player of the handset. I figured using Intent.ACTION_VIEW and setting the URI as Intent data, I am able to achieve the aforementioned on G1 except HTC hero. In case of Hero, I have to explicitly set the class Name in the Intent to start the default Video Player: intent.setClassName("com.htc.album","com.htc.album.ViewVideo")
However, I am not comfortable with this approach as it might break on other Android devices.
1. What would be the best way to play this video url via Intent, irrespective of the handset?
2. How to conditionally setClassName in Intent, specific to a Handset?
Writing a standalone Video Player for our app is NOT an option we can afford at the moment.
