It plays without a problem. Launching it from the Buzztouch 2.0 app hasn't been successful. When I click on the video file it requested which app I wish to use, I select and it plays. I suppose if I clicked always use, it wouldn't even ask. From the app it says no application can perform this action. Using Launch Native App (browser). The problem could be either: A. Not using correct URL, B. Not using correct screen C. No Buzztouch screen supports the action. So, does anyone have an insight into the problem & solution. Once we resolve this, embedding the video into the app should be doable. I've tried: file:// file:/// /sdcard All seem to work, but the video doesn't play. Fred Finding the exact path to your SD card can be done with a file manager, and can differ between phones. On the Samsung Galaxy S, for example, you should use: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd Spotify will then store tracks in this folder: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Android/Data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui Additional info: Perhaps: The correct url is: file:///android_asset/RELATIVEPATH http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4820816/how-to-get-uri-from-an-asset-file#comment5347018_4820905 Title Comments I'm trying to play a video stored on the SD card.
