Live test working video
Apk install not working video
This is the first time I’ve had this error.

Video player, I get this error: Error 701 unable to load add.mp4.

error

#2

Try setting it to file:///android_assets/add.mp4 for APK.

Path will be different for companion vs APK

#3

Can you share a apk?

#4

not working file:///android_assets/add.mp4

pbg.aia (1.5 MB)

#5

@cian Can you do it?

#6

pbg.apk (5.6 MB)

i’ll try another video file.

It gives the same result in every video.

Iam current not sure what’s broken.
But instead to save the video into the assets folder try to load the video from a url.

https://sample-videos.com/
I used a sample from there and it is working for me.

Thank you Mika,

The video file stored in apk is not played. Thats the problem. The only way to bypass this error is to save the video to external storage. For those experiencing this error, do not store videos in apk.
