I'm using code almost verbatim out of the VideoViewDemo example.
Below is the exact code to be sure, and I've tried with both
setVideoPath() and setVideoURI().
Looking at wireshark during this process, it seems that the both
YouTube and my server are spewing back plenty of video data, but the
VideoView somehow never gets it, or doesn't know what to do with it.
With RTSP, it takes about 5-10 seconds before a "Cannot play video:
Sorry, this video cannot be played." error message appears, but with
the HTTP link it appears almost instantly.
For Internet traffic, I'm behind a NAT. However, for the HTTP
example, I've also tried a local Apache server that doesn't go through
a NAT. (Unless the emulator itself counts as another NAT.)

import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoViewDemo extends Activity {
private VideoView mVideoView;
private String path = "http://www.jsharkey.org/downloads/dailytest.
3gp";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
//mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
}
}
