-2147483648 corresponds to UNKNOWN_ERROR in frameworks/native/include/utils/Errors.h

This shows that the error's source is hard to pin down as it is quite a generic return value, thrown by codec and compatibility issues as mentioned above but also thread cancellations and several other types.

you can use android exoplayer, it supports most of the video format

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.X.X'

create player

SimpleExoPlayer player = new SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(context).build();

Build the media item.

MediaItem mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri(videoUri);

Set the media item to be played.

player.setMediaItem(mediaItem);

Prepare the player.

player.prepare();

Start the playback.

player.play();
