The files are stored in a JSON Database in http format, but to eliminate loading times since the application they will be used in will also include video and time is a factor, prior to launching a "game" I download the necessary files from the JSON Database to a SQLite database on the phone.
I am able to stream the file directly from its full http path using AsyncPlayer but there is a loading time I would like to avoid, and AsyncPlayer does not work with video. I have not tested whether or not the file would play from the sd card, but I am fairly certain that is not the issue since I am able to pull the file from the SQLite database and play it locally on my computer with no problems. Sorry if that was slightly confusing. I'm not the best at explaining things.
