Playing a video in VideoView inKindle

Hello all, I can't figure out why am I not able to play the video in my VideoView. All I'm getting a message is: "Cannot Play Video : Sorry, this video cannot be played". ((Activity) context).getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT); video.setVideoURI(Uri.fromFile(tmpFile)); MediaController ctlr = new MediaController(context); ctlr.setMediaPlayer(video); video.setMediaController(ctlr); video.setZOrderOnTop(false); video.setKeepScreenOn(true); video.start(); video.requestFocus();

Hi, Thank you for the post. Kindle Fire Devices supports the following video formats MP4, VPS, HLS and Kindle Fire (1st Generation) does not support HLS. Please make sure your video format is supported.

as well as Venkat's reply you should check both the encoding profile and the size of the video. Even if the container/codec are supported it may have too large a framesize or too high a framerate
