Thank you Ben for going to the trouble to offer some help with my video playback problem.
I was convinced that the problem was that the video file was not being written to the device, or that player was not finding the video file, since file handling on the Android isn't exactly straightforward. After learning a whole bunch about the file structure of Android, and how to access files that are external to the stack, I finally read the Android release notes again out of desperation.
Guess what? The release 4.6.1 release notes clearly state that the "Videoclip/Player" is not yet implemented! Duh. Maybe next time I won't just scan the docs going "yeah, yeah, yeah...I'll get to all that later." This effort used up a lot of time, but I came away with a much better understanding of the Android file system with respect to deployment of runtime apps, so it wasn't time wasted.
Again, I appreciate your reply.
Cheers!
Gene
