Play Video File On Android Device But Getting Error - Cannot Play Video
Aug 7, 2011
Im using Eclipse created new android project.First thing i added to the menifest xml file two lines:
Code:
uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.STORAGE"></uses-permission>
And this is the complete menifest file code:
Code:
xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>
manifestxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.AllFormatsVideoPlay"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
[code]....
Now i tried to play a video file .3gp from the internet youtube link via my android device ! not emulator. And it worked! But when i tried to play a video file .3gp or .mp4( i converted the mp4 from 3gp ) its not working. Im getting error "Cannot play video Sorry, this video cannot be played"
Tried to play with the link to my device wich is: I:DCIM100MEDIAVIDEO0030.3gp or .mp4 or tried this: I:/DCIM/100MEDIA/VIDEO0030.3gp with "" like: "I:/DCIM/100MEDIA/VIDEO0030.3gp ";
I tried to remove the I: but it didn't change anything.This is the main code im using to play the video files on my device. And there some lines i marked with // wich i used to play from the internet and im not using now.
Code:
com.AllFormatsVideoPlay;
import
android.app.Activity;
import
android.graphics.PixelFormat;
import
[code]....

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.

I am trying to get a video to pop up and play. I can get it to work when I use the first uri (that is commented out in the below code), but when I try to use the second uri (from the resource), I get the following error:
CODE:..........
From researching the error, it looks like I might have to declare an activity in the manifest but I'm not sure if that applies here?? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I do not know if it is possible to share between android devices music and video to stream audio (music) or video among to devices at the same time.
For example: I am in a train and I have a movie in my android phone and I want to see it but also share it with my friend on his tablet. I would like to see it in both devices at the same time. Is this possible? Do I need to download an app for this, to sync the reproduction of the video or music?
Can I use Wi-Fi direct or use a Bluetooth connection?
Can it be this made only between android devices or can it be a mix of Os such: android to iOs (apple)?

I am having problems getting videos to play on my HTC Desire. I have converted my .avi files into Mpeg4 so as the device could read them ok. I'm using the free programme 'Handbrake' to convert the files. And it does so with no problems. The new mpeg4 files play with sound and image.
The problem occurs when I transfer the images onto the phones SD card. The video files are picked up via the camera folder (where you can play videos as there is no actual video player) as well as on the video player app I downloaded today - 'mVideoPlayer', without any problems but when I click to play the video the screen is black and only the sound works (even though on my pc the file played fine).
Do I need to download a codec or something? I would have thought that as the Desire was compatible with mpeg4 files that it would play them straight off without having to add software.

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'm writing a program which requires that a video be packaged with it. The only way I know of doing this is by adding the video to res/ raw/, which coincidentally renders the video useless. I've looked all over the web and the consensus seems to be you can only play streaming video, or video from a file. In the emulator if I attempt to play the video through the method used here ( http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html ), all I get is audio and a black screen. I've attempted to use VideoView as well, and the same thing occurs, audio but with a black screen. There must be a way to package video with your application without needing an SD card, or having to stream the file and have the video actually play. In the words of Google, I would like to create a "seamless" experience.

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 am trying to stream video over https from Android browser. If the video URL is http, everything works fine. But when I switch the url to https, no video can be played. I tried 2 methods to stream over http/ https through Android browser.
1. Use html5 Video tag on browser (Android 2.0+ device) and call video.play( ) from javascript. - With Https url. Browser launches media player and the player displays alert dialog saying "Can't play video". I captured the client TCP traffic and found no SSL handshake between client and server. It looks like the player pops up the alert on any https link. - With Http url. Browser launches media player and the player can stream the video successfully.
2. Use direct link of html <a> tag on browser and click the link - With Https url. Browser downloads the video file without launching the player. The browser seems not try to load any https link in media player. - With Http url. Browser launches media player and the player can stream the video successfully.
So the above tests make me think Android media player cannot play media from any https url.
