title: Android MediaPlayer Error 1, -1002
body: <p>I am creating an app that plays <strong>mp4 video files</strong>, but when I try to play an specific file I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>D/MediaPlayer(12605): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side
  E/MediaPlayer(12605): error (1, -1002)
  E/MediaPlayer(12605): Error (1,-1002)
  D/VideoView(12605): Error: 1,-1002
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to search info about the error <a href="https://github.com/android/platform_external_opencore/blob/master/pvmi/pvmf/include/pvmf_return_codes.h" rel="nofollow">here</a>, but I didn't find anything very clarifying. Does anyone know what this error means?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
