	First check your file permission. And try without the .mp4 extension if there is no other file on the same name otherwise try with a .3gp file similarly without extension. answered 21 mins ago

	Maybe MediaPlayer requires MODE_WORLD_READABLE for your Intro file. Try to save it in none PRIVE mode. Or you forgot to add permission for READING internal storage. answered 18 mins ago
