I am trying to play a youtube video in a Video View. I have laid out the xml like this: <VideoView android:id="@+id/VideoView" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" /> and the code is like this: setContentView(R.layout.webview); VideoView vv = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView); MediaController mc=new MediaController(this); mc.setEnabled(true); mc.show(0); vv.setMediaController(mc); vv.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS998HaGk9M")); vv.requestFocus(); vv.showContextMenu(); vv.start(); I have added the permission within the manifest.

I can stream some videos from URL (server) successfully, But the others (my video up to my server) is not . You can see both in my code (Working/Not working) I'm on stuck with this problem. "Sorry, this video is not valid for streaming to this device" The following code : String url = null; // url = "rtsp://v5.cache5.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQmC00ZlwwIDOxMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp"; // Working // url = "http://daily3gp.com/vids/747.3gp"; // Working url = "http://www.ooklnet.com/files/381/381489/video.mp4"; // Working // url = "rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov";
