I have been able to play videos in the emulator using Android 1.5 and 1.6 (using the MediaPlayer class). However I have also just noticed that it doesn't work in the emulator in Android 2.1 - I only hear the sound.
Does anyone actually know why? I don't have an Android 2.1 phone to test with, so I'm very much stuck now with my development.
