I think you can find useful thinks Here.. about playing video from different sources.

If your using Emulator , First, do not use the emulator for testing video playback. Its ability to handle video playback is very limited. Use an actual Android device.

Second, always check LogCat (adb logcat, DDMS, or DDMS perspective in Eclipse) for warnings when you run into multimedia problems. OpenCORE -- the multimedia engine used by Android -- has a tendency to log error-level conditions as warnings.

For example, your video file may not be set up for progressive download, which is required for HTTP streaming. On Linux, you can patch up MP4 videos for progressive download by installing MP4Box and running MP4Box -hint .

Hope this explanation works for you..
