Does work:

Doesn't work:
http://media.lakewood.org.edgesuite.net/JOM/messages/564_750.mp4
Code used:
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "video/mp4");
MainActivity.instance.startActivity(intent);
I checked the codec types in VLC and they are identical. However, in the dev tools in chrome (network tab) I noticed that the bunny video works like a progressive download while the joel video comes down in chunks (even though it's supposed to be progressive).
Is there something I'm missing?
