How to play video Using Url On Android?

Android phone being picky with video files

• I'm trying to e-mail a couple of .mp4 videos to my girlfriend's LG G3 Android phone. The first one worked fine, but both of my attempts of the second video are apparently an "unsupported file type." I encoded the videos myself from QuickTime .mov source videos using Avidemux, and I'm at a loss as to why one works but the others don't. (technical info inside) The first video worked fine, just used Avidemux to downscale the source and encode in x264 with AAC audio. http://pastebin.com/aLzFzuL5 The second video needed to be rotated as well as resized, and I also decided to save a bit of file size by omitting the sound track. I'm pretty sure all the other setting were set up exactly the same, but this video wouldn't play on her phone. http://pastebin.com/9LEeczSD For the second attempt at the second video, I put the sound back in at 56kbps, but no dice. http://pastebin.com/6cXCxnNV The only things that I can think of that between the first file and the other two are that: -The sound settings are different for all three videos -The filename of the first video starts with a letter, the other two start with numbers -I only resized the first source video, while I also had to rotate the second -I may have somehow changed the settings between encodes Can anyone shed some light on this? She's in another country and has limited internet access, so I can't just brute-force the problem by sending a bunch of slightly different encodes hoping that one will work.

• Answer:

  Are you using the stock video player app? If so, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en. It generally supports more file times and encodings than stock apps.
