The qualifier here is "via an Android Emulator", streaming YouTube works fine on the real devices. The emulator does not support the UDP networking required for the RTSP:// streams that YouTube offers. There are other options (should you need to support the emulator). You could use the video ID to extract a playback token, and use YouTube's /get_video request to pull the 3GP file format from YouTube's server and play that. An example of this approach (including Java code) can be found here: http://keyeslabs.com/joomla/index.php/blogs/i-think-im-becoming-an-android/51-polish-your-app-free-embeddable-android-youtube-activity. There are other benefits to this, such as not requiring a good quality network connection to play the video. For example, this works for me: public class TestActivitySnapshot extends Activity { public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); streamYoutubeVideo(); } private void streamYoutubeVideo() { VideoView video = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video_view); // "token" value retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=ghIoTW10qwc video.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/get_video?"; + "video_id=ghIoTW10qwc" + /* YouTube video ID */ "&t=vjVQa1PpcFMQUzL0L4TXtChsSDb2hogA4XEbSjFRf9U%3D" + /* "token" value */ "&fmt=17")); /* 17 = low quality, 18 = high quality */ video.start(); } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
