File URL doesn't pass from another app

I can enter the file URL "file:///sdcard/video.mp4" and the video plays just fine. When online it also brings up "www.file.com" in the window, which would be best that it didn't.

When I pass the same URL from another app, the URL bar shows "http://www.file.com///sdcard/video.mp4", when online. When offline, it shows "http://file///sdcard/video.mp4". Consequently the video doesn't play.

I have tried the same with 9 other browsers and the substituted URL is different, so I assume that it is the browser doing the substitution rather than the app.

I want to play the video from the app through FireFox whether offline or online using the same URL that works directly.

Thank you, Bob

I appreciate your idea. I do that for my web apps. But for my OFFLINE implementations, I want to access the video clip from the SD card on the mobile device.
