The following videocast does not work with the internal player, but it works with an external(Nexus5): http://medien.wdr.de/m/1402428467/quarks/wdr_fernsehen_quarks_und_co_20140610.mp4
Please don’t use this section to report issues. It’s dedicated to new feature suggestion. Use the Contact support button instead.
Regarding the issue, the app is based on your device build in player, so I’m guessing the playback will also fail with the device build in player. If so it means your device doesn’t support this file encoding. Maybe adding extra codecs like Archos codec app will solve the issue.
Please send me the podcast RSS feed url so I can do some tests

I can confirm that those files aren't supported by android default player...

No it add them for the build in media player as well. Vlc and MX player are the 2 player that do not relies on the android default player. Please try playing the episode on your device default player. I'm guessing it will fail. In that case there's nothing I can do because this encoding isn't supported on android

I am sorry for that.
Here is the link, over which I get access to the podcast via podcastaddict (pa):
http://podcast.wdr.de/quarks.xmlI can play the videos via an external player VLC for sure, but I want everything in pa.
The "Archos codec" app only adds codecs to the "Arcos player" and not to the "Google video player", am I right?
