title: Loading an mp4 video from an html link on Android
body: <p>I have a html file on my Samsung android tablet that has a link like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="./video/0001_a1.mp4" target="_blank"&gt;Click to play local 0001_a1.mp4&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I click it I wanted it to open the video file that is in the sub directory /video beneath but only the link background changes like the link is being pressed but no video plays.  If I remove the video file and press the link I get an error that it can't find the file.  So I know that something is trying to happen.   I have also tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="video/0001_a1.mp4" target="_blank"&gt;Click to play local 0001_a1.mp4&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With the same results.  Both work fine when on a Windows PC.</p>
  
  <p>How can I load local videos using an html link on Android?</p>
