It seems clear from the documentation that the mobilemovieplayer is not yet fully implemented in Android. Is there an alternate way to play a movie in Android given a folderitem of a movie file on disk? If so, what movie formats can I use?
MobileMoviePlayer supports video formats and codecs that are natively supported by Android. However, this depends on the Android version and the hardware of the device. The most common formats and codecs supported by Android are MP4, 3GP,MKV, WEBM and AVI.
What do you mean? What isn’t implemented which stops you from using it?
You can load the movie from file using MobileMoviePlayer.LoadFile (or .LoadURL to grab it from the web). @Martin_T has listed the playable formats above, and they’re also listed in the docs. There’s also an example in Examples > Platforms > Android > Controls > MoviePlayer
