Video doesn't work on some Android devices

Hello,

I wrote a small app for Android and I'm trying to show a movie from the net. Everything works on the AIR simulator, the problem starts when I try to run it on my device. I have a Galaxy S4 with Android 4.2.2 and I'm using AIR 3.8 (captive with the app).

Now, if I try to load another movie it works fine, so my code seems to be OK.

Further, I sent my APK with a link to the original movie (that my device doesn't show) to someone else and on his device that movie worked.

Even further, if I just download that movie to my device and load it to one of the video player apps it is shown just fine.

Here is a direct link to the youtube movie I'm trying to show, It's a standard H.264 MP4 file from youtube:

I'm using the standard Video class with a NetStream to show this video.

Can anyone think of a reason why this movie would work on some devices but no on others? Can it be some kind of codec problem?

Thanks!
