Interesting: I can view the video file in the default android player, and
using mplayer.
VLC (v3.0.8 on linux) shows the same
So not certain if the error is in vlc or in the encoding.
The easiest way forward is probably to have motion encode the video with a
different codec.

I agree with trying a different format. The video plays in the Parole
player, but not VLC in Xubuntu.
I use AVI, but that's not an option in 4.1.1
Change *ffmpeg_video_codec mkv* to *ffmpeg_video_codec mp4*
