Question

I want to play an .mov file (QuickTime Movie file) uploaded to a server via an iPhone app in the android app. It seems like .mov is not supported in Android Video Player.

So I would like to know whether there's anyway we could convert this and play on android only using android sdk without using android-ndk which looks pretty complex.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Check Supported Media Formats.

MOV is not supported on Android. So maybe you need to convert the format to mp4 first.

OTHER TIPS

When uploading content video picked from iOS SDK we could transcode it to MPEG4 using AVFoundation framework and send to server, in my case i have done this. That will help playing video from Android Device if it needs to be compatible vise versa with iOS and Android.
