Thanks Dianne for the heads up. Do you know if there are plans to expose an intent to play a video directly instead of having to redirect through the browser? Having the browser intercept my VIEW intent on a video/mp4 MIME type, just to turn around and launch the video player seems kind of silly.
If I use a "RTSP://" protocol in my URL it will launch the player directly, but alas the MovieView class chokes on the MP4 video type, obviously because I am hosting the file off a standard HTTP server and not a streaming media server.
