I am usign Gary example from here.

The only modify is that I load a local video like this:

    mMediaUrl = "/storage/emulated/0/MyFolder/20161003_1217.mp4";

and I get the following error:

10-03 12:54:13.588 16681-17397/windylabs.com.vlcplayersample E/VLC-std: Warning: input_item_SetURI("/storage/emulated/0/MyFolder/20161003_1217.mp4"): file path instead of URL.

10-03 12:54:15.728 16681-17399/windylabs.com.vlcplayersample E/VLC: [dece4214] core input: VLC is unable to open the MRL '/storage/emulated/0/MyFolder/20161003_1217.mp4'. Check the log for details.

I don't know where the logs specified on the error are. The example, with the video streamed from here it is working, but the video from my sdcard isn't played!

You need to load file like this:

mMediaUrl = Uri.fromFile(pathToMediaFile).toString();

Try this 

mMediaUrl = "/sdcard/MyFolder/20161003_1217.mp4";

or check READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in manifest.
