title: mp4 video cannot be played in Android VideoView and Mediaplayer
body: <p>I have indeed tried to check here and else were for solution to this but no luck, probably because am a newbee.</p>
  
  <p><strong>TASK:</strong> I want to play a <code>RTSP</code> video stream on an <code>android app</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>TRIALS:</strong> I tried out with a <code>2min mp4</code> video copied to the <code>res\raw</code> folder with Media Player and <code>VideoView</code>. Later I used the <code>API Demo</code> sample and I set:</p>
  
  <pre><code> path = "android.resourcee://com.me.mobile/R.raw.mithlat";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>ERROR:</strong> 
  on <code>MediaPlayer</code> API Demo just a blank page, no video no sound
  on <code>VideoView</code> API Demo  it shows </p>
  
  <pre><code>"Sorry this video cannot be played"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>CONFIG:
  My target is <code>2.33</code> (This is what am testing with)</p>
  
  <p><code>minimun is 2.1</code></p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
