Issue still persist on 2019.1.2f1.
Android Logcat throws an error "AndroidVideoMedia::OpenExtractor could not translate archive to local file. Make sure file exist, is on disk (not in memory) and not compressed.

We also face this issue. IOS works like a charm, android does not. Would be great to see this fixed anytime soon.

Due to the fact that we have the same behavior but do not see the "VideoPlayer cannot play clip" error:
What must be done to see this error? -

We have try with version 2018.2.3f1 and 2018.2.4f1 to load a VideoClip from an assetbundle for Android.
It give us the following error:
"VideoPlayer cannot play clip"It work on iOS though.
Video transparency not working from file so we will end up packaging the final Android APK with all the videos.

Resolution Note:
This is not currently supported by the Unity video player. We do, unfortunately, have some platform-specific limitations and this particular one is noted here (under Android notes): https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Video.VideoPlayer.html.
Our Android implementation currently uses Android's MediaExtractor and this library does not support flexible input handling going all the way back to the early versions of the OS that we currently support.
In Unity 2020.x, we will add this feature, but it will only be supported on more recent versions of Android.
