I'm confused about how VideoView can be used to play video: from a local file, as progressive download and streaming. This example work for me (on 1.5 and 2.0 at least) by downloading the file and playing it locally.

Hello, I'd like to play multiple video files at the same time on Android 2.1 (up to 4). It's possible to reduce the resolution of the video files and display them all on the screen, but it seems only one file is playable at a time. I tried then to use threads in the hope that this might help, but it doesn't. Only one video is played. A...

Hi all, I am using a VideoView to display a video. I am using setOnPreparedListener and setOnCompletionListener to do stuff before and after the video starts and ends. I was wondering how I could go about detecting some point of time in the video. For eg, say I want to write log to a file when the video has played for 10s. How can I d...

Hi All, I just came across the limitation of VideoView of not being able to play mp4 video files that are wider than 320 pixels. I was wondering how can we overcome these limitations. I am trying to make my app as forgiving as possible, so other than using VideoViews is there another way to play these mp4 videos? Chris ...

Any thoughts. By the...

I can see in LogCat that the video is buffering during the lag. Is there a way I can minimize this lag, or tell MediaPlayer to play the video sooner? Thanks Ch...
