It is possible to stream videos through media player, but that requires you to have the absolute URI to the video file on the network. when this URI is provided to the player, it streams it, and plays it.
however, in the case of You Tube, you don't have the URL pointing directly to a media file. i doubt this case. maybe you'll have to anyhow extract the URL then give it to the media player.
