There are two things to check if your content shows on the device but does not play. Make sure the urls are correct in your feed file. Make sure the video content is declared “public” on the server you are using. ---

There have been lots of complaints about using Vimeo as a content host. I believe that includes what to use as a url when hosting on Vimeo. I don’t use Vimeo. You’ll need to scan this forum for other posts that address this issue. In particular, there are posts that indicate the correct Vimeo url to use when creating your feed file. ---

@BlaqCardProd Are you using showcase to create the JSON file? Can you share your feed or one video URL? ---
