MediaPlayer play mp4 from server

Question

I have some mp4 files on a server and I need to play with the app. here is my code :

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.watch);  
    VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1);
    MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
    mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
    Uri video = Uri.parse("http://php page that return the mp4");
    videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
    videoView.setVideoURI(video);
    videoView.start();
}

I tried the code on a real phone 2.3.5 LogCat:
