Android fragment - can't play this video

Question

I would like to play a video from website by using fragment in android. However, when I run the app, error were showing stating that

Can't play this video

The url is valid and there's no error in coding. Can someone help me?

VideoFragment.java

public class VideoFragment extends Fragment {
VideoView videoview;

String VideoURL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzWfjOaAbcE";

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
    Bundle savedInstanceState) {

View  v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.videoview_fragment, container, false);
VideoView videoView=(VideoView)v.findViewById(R.id.VideoView);

MediaPlayer player = MediaPlayer.create(getActivity(), Uri.parse(VideoURL));


Uri video = Uri.parse(VideoURL);


MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(getActivity());
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
    videoView.setVideoURI(video);
    videoView.requestFocus();
    videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
    videoView.start();
return  v;
}}

videoview_fragment.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

    <VideoView
    android:id="@+id/VideoView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
</LinearLayout>
