I am beginner in android development and try to play video from link. But it's giving error "sorry,we can't play this video"
. I tried so many links but for all links its show same error.
My code is the following
public class VideoDemo extends Activity {
private static final String path ="http://demo.digi-corp.com/S2LWebservice/Resources/SampleVideo.mp4";
private VideoView video;
private MediaController ctlr;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
video.setVideoPath(path);
ctlr = new MediaController(this);
ctlr.setMediaPlayer(video);
video.setMediaController(ctlr);
video.requestFocus();
}
}
Logcat shows following error message:
04-12 15:04:54.245: ERROR/PlayerDriver(554): HandleErrorEvent: PVMFErrTimeout
It has something to do with your link and content. Try the following two links:
String path="http://www.ted.com/talks/download/video/8584/talk/761";
String path1="http://commonsware.com/misc/test2.3gp";
Uri uri=Uri.parse(path1);
VideoView video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView01);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
video.start();
Start with "path1", it is a small light weight video stream and then try the "path", it is a higher resolution than "path1", a perfect high resolution for the mobile phone.
