Video not working properly in the below mentioned code. What could be the problem for this?
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(getBaseContext());
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoweb);
Uri video = Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/v/wwI2w2YHkCQ?fs=1");
videoweb.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoweb.setVideoURI(video);
videoweb.start();
Error:
Cannot play video
Sorry,this video cannot be played.
The link you have provided, http://www.youtube.com/v/wwI2w2YHkCQ?fs=1, is for an HTML page. The URI to be provided for setVideoURI() should be a media file such as MP4 or AVI.
VideoView cannot parse a HTML page. It can only decode and play a video file or stream a video content (in this case the URI should point to the media file, such as http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/mp4/cavity_flow_movie.mp4). See Stack Overflow question Using VideoView for streaming or progressive-download video.
You should use a Webview for opening the YouTube link.
INTERNET permission in manifest and error is-01-05 11:21:30.290: E/libEGL(2214): call to OpenGL ES API with no current context (logged once per thread) Warning-01-05 11:21:31.020: W/webcore(2214): Can't get the viewWidth after the first layout –
Uphill this. getBaseContext() will not be suitable here as only this (instance of activity) will have the view details. –
Refractor VideoView and Mediaplayer can play only formats given in the document Android Supported Media Formats.
The link of the YouTube video you gave is for an HTML page. If you are playing an HTML page as mentioned by Karthik, it is better to use Webview.
String url = "your_youtube_link";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
If you want only the video to be viewed from that link, leave all other details in the page. Suppose this is the YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC7ZOGpM2cU&feature=g-logo&context=G233b464FOAAAAAAABAA
If you parse the source of the YouTube HTML page, you may see this portion:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json+oembed" href="http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DZC7ZOGpM2cU&format=json" title="Bigg Boss 5: Juhi Parmar wins Big Boss season 5">

In this, extract the following

In this, the <http://www.youtube.com/v/ZC7ZOGpM2cU?version=3&autohide=1> link will show it fullscreen.
Actually, in order to play any streaming video I am using
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/v/wwI2w2YHkCQ?fs=1")));
But I don't think this is going to work for your link. Better to try
mediaplayer.setdataSource("your link").
OK, try the following code. It will work.
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/v/wwI2w2YHkCQ?fs=1"));
startActivity(i);
private VideoView mVideoView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
}
private void playVideo() {
try {
final String path = "http://www.youtube.com/v/wwI2w2YHkCQ?fs=1"
System.out.println("path "+path);
Log.v(TAG, "path: " + path);
if (path == null || path.length() == 0) {
Toast.makeText(VideoViewDemo.this, "File URL/path is empty",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else {
System.out.println("else ");
// If the path has not changed, just start the media player
if (path.equals(current) && mVideoView != null) {
System.out.println("mVideoView.start() ");
mVideoView.start();
mVideoView.requestFocus();
return;
}
current = path;
//mVideoView.setVideoPath(getDataSource(path));
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
mVideoView.start();
mVideoView.requestFocus();
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "error: " + e.getMessage(), e);
if (mVideoView != null) {
mVideoView.stopPlayback();
}
}
}
