I have little problem with streaming videos from "URL". I am using "Camera Streaming" application which opens camera and give me URL like "192.168.0.??:8080". And I can stream that video in browser in my PC.

Now my question is that how can I stream that video in my application into VideoView.

I tried opening video in videoview using "setVideoURI()" but it's saying "Can't play this video." and giving me error in logcat like :

1) D/VideoView: Error: 1,-2147483648

2) E/MediaPlayer: Error (1,-2147483648)

3) D/MediaPlayer: Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side

Can you help me stream videos in VideoView ?

Thanks in Advance! Darshan Popat

It seems the video is hosted on local server..so your device should be in same network to play the video where server is hosted locally – Burhanuddin Rashid Mar 31 '17 at 08:31
Yes Burhanuddin Rashid, My both devices are on same wifi connection. Still not able to play. – Darshan Popat Mar 31 '17 at 08:32
How about [INTERNET](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#INTERNET)? – Wade Tyler Mar 31 '17 at 08:33
@WadeTyler INTERNET is also working. – Darshan Popat Mar 31 '17 at 08:35
@DarshanPopat What do you mean by "it's working"? Is it working now? – Wade Tyler Mar 31 '17 at 08:35
As I told in question that I am able to load video in PC browser and Mobile browser as well. It's just not playing in VideoView. – Darshan Popat Mar 31 '17 at 08:36
@DarshanPopat What I meant by that link, is that you should check to see if you have added the INTERNET permission in your app's manifest. – Wade Tyler Mar 31 '17 at 08:37
@WadeTyler Yes sir I have added Internet permission in Manifest file. – Darshan Popat Mar 31 '17 at 08:37
@DarshanPopat Check this [page](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11540076/android-mediaplayer-error-1-2147483648) out. The format of the video you're trying to play is not supported. Try using ExoPlayer. – Wade Tyler Mar 31 '17 at 08:40
Have you added `http://` before the url ??? @DarshanPopat – Burhanuddin Rashid Mar 31 '17 at 09:45
@BurhanuddinRashid Yes sir, I have added. – Darshan Popat Mar 31 '17 at 10:03
