    <p>I'm trying to play a video in a VideoView on a Sony GTV (Android 3.2) and when the VideoView loads I get a 'Failed to Play' dialog. The output of ffmpeg -i on my video is:</p> <pre><code>Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'vz569287a41cd749cd8c0692a64d94453c.mp4': Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2avc1mp41 creation_time : 1970-01-01 00:00:00 encoder : Lavf53.4.0 Duration: 00:00:21.96, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1166 kb/s Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (Constrained Baseline) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 576x432 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 1070 kb/s, 23.99 fps, 23.95 tbr, 479 tbn, 47.90 tbc Metadata: creation_time : 1970-01-01 00:00:00 handler_name : VideoHandler Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 91 kb/s Metadata: creation_time : 1970-01-01 00:00:00 handler_name : </code></pre> <p>According to: <a href="https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_media_formats" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_media_formats</a> h264 baseline with aac audio should be supported but has limited B-frame support.

Strangely an even worse issue has occurred here as the when setting the video URI the Revue just displays a black screen and any keyboard input results in an ANR.</p> <p>My code to start the video looks like:</p> <pre><code>public void onStart() { super.onStart(); MediaController mc = new MediaController(getSlideActivity()); mc.setAnchorView(mVideo); mVideo.setMediaController(mc); mVideo.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("https://view.vzaar.com/933735/video")); mVideo.start(); } </code></pre> <p>I modified the video playing code to be within an AsyncTask and it no longer crashes on the Revue (though video doesn't play):</p> <pre><code>new AsyncTask&lt;Void, Void, Void&gt;() { @Override protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) { Looper.prepare(); MediaController mc = new MediaController(getSlideActivity()); mc.setAnchorView(mVideo); mVideo.setMediaController(mc); mVideo.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(mSlide.getMedia())); Looper.loop(); return null; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void v) { mVideo.start(); } }.execute(); </code></pre> <p>After adding some logging statements to the AsyncTask above I see it never gets past the line that calls 'setVideoURI'.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
