    I try to use MediaPlayer and VideoOutpu for displaying video content but no success... :-(

    According to "some book example":http://qmlbook.org/ch10/index.html# it is as simple as stone axe but for some weird reasons it does not work for me. Neither on desktop - W7, 64 bits - nor Android device. I tried it with remote video file and local, too...

    What file formats are supported by MediaPlayer?

    There are some log examples below.

    (1) local Mp4 file, Android device:

      I don't know about remote file.
      But I was able to show a local MP4 video on Android without any problem using VideoOutput, and from what I know you should set a full local URL path and you cannot embed video into Qt resources (qrc://)

      So, instead of an URL like:
      qrc:/Vserv/qml/stock-footage-sailing-in-the-wind-through-the-waves-hd-sailing-boat-shot-in-full-hd-at-the-sailing-in-the.mp4
      you should pass an URL like:
      file://mnt/sdcard/Videos/stock-footage-sailing-in-the-wind-through-the-waves-hd-sailing-boat-shot-in-full-hd-at-the-sailing-in-the.mp4
