Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side Error in Android

Question

I have tried to play a youtube video by its URL by my android program. I have used setVideoURI(uri); function also to set URI, as suggested by other POSTs in stackoverflow

Answer 1

On Android devices, you can use an Intent for Youtube videos:

Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E43mgXNl0xc"));
startActivity(browserIntent);                          

Answer 2

Once you get the You tube url..., Substring the Video_ID from the Url.See the example below i have given.

once you get the rtsp link you can play video in VideoView Here is example.

For example: If this link is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E43mgXNl0xc

Then E43mgXNl0xc is the Video_ID.

Use this video id to play video in videoview.

Refer these two links:

Link 1

Link 2

Once you get the rtsp link you can play it in VideoView.
