Also, just to follow-up on this more, I installed lighttpd locally on the same computer as the emulator. I also made sure to add the 3GP video mime-type.
This way, I could try using "http://10.0.2.2/dailytest.3gp"; as my test URL from the emulator, which should bypass even the emulator's bridge NAT. Still came back with the same errors. :( Interestingly, the player only made a HEAD request this time, and didn't begin streaming the data with a GET request. Here is the HEAD details from the lighttpd server, showing the correct mimetype: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: video/3gpp Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "60758872" Last-Modified: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:55:39 GMT Content-Length: 229635 Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 05:06:40 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.19 j On Aug 18, 10:51 pm, Jeffrey Sharkey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
