Well, the playback problem is mostly caused by Olympus recorded video file format not being supported by users playback devices. To get users fully understand it, first I will list Olympus cameras recorded video formats as the examples. Then we will provide the solution on how to successfully play or edit Olympus videos anywhere by converting Olympus recorded video files to a more compatible video format.

Olympus Recorded Video Formats

Olympus have many camera models, but generally are divided into two parts: Interchangeable Lens Camera part and Compact Digital Camera part.

Interchangeable Lens Camera Part

Interchangeable Lens Camera OM-D E-M1X supports to record videos in MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format.
Interchangeable Lens Camera OM-D E-M10 Mark III supports to record videos in MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format.
Interchangeable Lens Camera OM-D E-M5 Mark III supports to record videos in MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format.
Interchangeable Lens Camera OLYMPUS PEN-F supports to record videos in MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format.
Interchangeable Lens Camera OLYMPUS PEN E-PL9 supports to record videos in MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format.

Compact Digital Camera Part

Compact Digital Camera Part STYLUSTG-870 Tough supports to record videos in MOV/H.264 format.
Compact Digital Camera Tough TG-6 supports to record videos in MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format.
Compact Digital Camera STYLUSTG-4 Tough supports to record videos in MOV/H.264 format and AVI/Motion JPEG format.

So from the above examples, we can clearly see that most Olympus cameras get MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format well supported and few of them get AVI JPEG supported. And users will have no problem when they transfer the Olympus camera recorded MOV files to Apple devices or players for playback, but will have problems in playing them on Android mobiles, players and tablets, PSP devices and most of other portable devices, because most of Android based devices and PSP, and portable devices get MP4 file format, not MOV format, supported. And that is exactly why Olympus users failed to play Olympus recorded video files on their devices.
