Hi, Simon. You might remember me from streaming Music with an asset filter. I've been able to do the same with VideoPlayer, but it requires a modification first.
Line 41 shown here will throw an exception if an asset filter is used. I commented this line out in my local build to allow the video to play.
If you'd rather not remove this, perhaps we could test for an HTTP status code first, though I don't think that's necessary as attempting to play a video that 404s (or any other error) doesn't crash the game, and leaves a more helpful error in the console than before (which was no error, usually).
Additionally, "Oh no!" should probably use Gdx.app.log() so it actually prints on GWT.
