Hi there, I was trying to serve video on sdcard by using HTML5 video tag with the url "content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/videos/BigBuck.m4v"
Logcat tells me that the file descriptor couldn't be opened ... 02-19 15:34:00.874: INFO/MediaPlayer(3993): uri is:content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/videos/BigBuck.m4v 02-19 15:34:00.874: INFO/MediaPlayer(3993): path is null 02-19 15:34:00.878: DEBUG/MediaPlayer(3993): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side 02-19 15:34:00.878: VERBOSE/MediaPlayer-JNI(3993): setDataSource: path content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/videos/BigBuck.m4v 02-19 15:34:00.878: VERBOSE/MediaPlayer(3993): setDataSource(content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/videos/BigBuck.m4v) 02-19 15:34:00.882: ERROR/MediaPlayerService(2397): Couldn't open fd for content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/videos/BigBuck.m4v 02-19 15:34:00.882: ERROR/MediaPlayer(3993): Unable to to create media player 02-19 15:34:00.894: WARN/VideoView(3993): Unable to open content: content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/videos/BigBuck.m4v 02-19 15:34:00.894: WARN/VideoView(3993): java.io.IOException: setDataSource failed.: status=0x80000000 02-19 15:34:00.894: WARN/VideoView(3993): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(Native Method) 02-19 15:34:00.894: WARN/VideoView(3993): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:745) I looked into the source of mediaplayer's "public void setDataSource(Context context, Uri uri)" (http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/1.5_r4/android/media/MediaPlayer.java/?v=source) and implemented the method openAssetFile @Override public AssetFileDescriptor openAssetFile(Uri uri, String mode) throws FileNotFoundException { ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = this.openFile(uri, mode); AssetFileDescriptor afd = new AssetFileDescriptor(pfd, 0, pfd.getStatSize()); Log.v("SHOUT", uri.getPath()); return afd; } But still, I cannot view the video on the sdcard with html5 video tag. Any help ^^? mrkschan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
