title: RuntimeException: setDataSource failed: status = 0x80000000 using MediaMetaDataRetreiver
body: <p>I am trying to make a gif app on android. The gifs are made and saved in ExternalStoragePublicDirectory. Now I am trying to get those files and show it in a recyclerview using MediaMetadataReteiver by passing the files to the adapter. Below is the code in the onBindViewHolder().</p>
  
  <pre><code>Log.d("GifAdapter: ", files[position].getAbsolutePath());
  try {
  retriever.setDataSource(files[position].getAbsolutePath());
  holder.mImageView.setImageBitmap(retriever.getFrameAtTime(1000000, OPTION_CLOSEST_SYNC));
  } catch (Exception e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It gives me RuntimeException: setDataSource failed: status = 0x80000000.
  I tried using a different directory containing video files. It worked and i got the frames to display. But when i use it with gifs it gives me runtime exception. What should i do to get the gifs displayed. Thanks!</p>
