Thanks for filing this @m160 ! @akinwale any ideas? Could it be file size?

This issue turned out to be as a result of spaces (and special characters) present in the media filename. The media player expects these characters to be percent encoded in the Uri that is being set as the source. This is also the cause for https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-android/issues/213.
