    Media Plugin won't play the example video on Lollipop 5.1.1 on a nexus

    I took the media plugin form the gideros site, exported the example project, followed the instructions in the install.html and when I installed the app and tried to 'Play Video' it says 'Can't play this video'.

    I'm using a Nexus 4 that's on 5.1.1. Using Gideros 2015.10.

      So a bump and I also tried it on the latest version of Gideros (2015.12) and the example didn't work there either. Still saying "Can't play this video"

      Is there any specific java error in Logcat?
      Cause I don't have Android 5 capable device, so can't test for that specific OS

      This is the md5 sum of the test.mp4 27e10f20acad394fb1b32ff37f0b422d

      This is the error that occurs.

      That's what I see after I get the "Can't play this video." dialog.
      After I close that dialog I get this:

      too bad, unfortunately it does not tell me much.
      From logs it seems that video is in some format that MediaPlayer can't play.
      Unfortunately it does not tell me much more.

      Have you tried with other videos, that you can play on your phone?

      @ar2rsawseen the video I used was the video in the Media.zip which was given as an example. Which is strange because I'd compiled the example app before and it used to work.

      The example video itself can be played on the phone, as can several others which I have tried this with. A simple default media player can play them but the Media example cannot.

      @AniketK - If you make a new project using the example.zip does it work if you don't modify it at all?

      Hi,

      I can't get the media plugin to work on Android. I tested using Android 5.0.1 and 6.0.1, using the example project provided in Gideros installation folder

      The video does play via built-in Android video player though.

      Any ideas?


      Quick update:

      The video plays fine in an Android player via Gideros.
