I am using MediaPlayer to play my video from a URL that I have parsed from a Youtube json-c feed. The feed I retrieved is:

"player":
{"default":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uwtqRBE4Kk&feature=youtube_gdata_player",

"mobile":"https://m.youtube.com/details?v=4uwtqRBE4Kk"},

"content":
{"5":"https://www.youtube.com/v/4uwtqRBE4Kk?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata",

"1":"rtsp://v3.cache1.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQmp4EQQqS3s4hMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp",

"6":"rtsp://v3.cache2.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQmp4EQQqS3s4hMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp"},"

I am using

//URL I retrieved from a json-c feed from the player array described above
private String URL = "https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4uwtqRBE4Kk";
mediaplayer.setDataSource(URL);

It gives a MediaPlayerError error(1, -2147483648). Whereas when I use the URL from a dropbox like 

private String URL = "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/145894/t/rabbits.3gp";

It runs and the video is played. Please explain the error or give me a remedy.

If you are testing on devices earlier than Android 3.1 you might not be able to play AACP.

In order to find out what streams you can play on your targeted device check official docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html
