You are using in your code
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
but you are trying to play a video from web address.
I assume that setVideoPath expects a local path on your file system
(Android documentation is very bad and does not say anything....).
Use
video.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("rtsp:<your stream"));
instead.
Note: I noticed that rtsp streaming is not straight forward using the
MediaPlayer. A lot of times the MediaPlayer does not like the
container format also if it is playable by other mediaplayers.
Also implement a onPrepared method and start the video within the
onPrepared.
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.start();
}
