I have added <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> to my manifest file and tried paying several video types (.mpg, .wmv, .mov) using this code:

B4X:
Sub Globals 
Dim vv As VideoView 
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
  vv.Initialize("vv") 
  Activity.AddView(vv, 10dip, 10dip, 250dip, 250dip)
  vv.LoadVideo("http","http://myserver.com/distribution/test,mpg") 
  vv.Play 
End Sub 

Sub vv_Complete 
 Log("Playing completed")
End Sub

For each file type I get the dialog "Cannot play video. Sorry, this video cannot be played. OK" in the emulator (no debug errors). Is my code wrong, am I calling a wrong file type, etc? What file types are supported and are there limitiations on resolution, bitrate, file size, etc? Thanks.
