I want to create an android app which can play video from RTSP link. When i tried to play this through a media player, it showed an error message - "The Video cannot be played" I would be grateful if you can provide me a solution for how to implement this ..

   private String path2 = "rtsp://208.77.20.52:1935/dmm1/setmax";     
   Uri video = Uri.parse(path2);

    mVideoView.setVideoURI(video);
    mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
    mVideoView.requestFocus();
    mVideoView.postInvalidateDelayed(100);
    mVideoView.start();
