vimeo video play in Android native

I am developing vimeo video app in native android. But it is not supported in VideoView. May I know any samples or related query for Android. I want final output to be in .mp3/.mp4 format.
I have tried iframe in Android WebView, It works well in Android WebView but I am not able to get seek bar. And OnPause() not able to Pause the video.
Here I am able to get Pause and Play button Only
Example: player.vimeo.com/video/49462103
I want play this video in android native
<VideoView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/videoView"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
Update link in :
Vimeo site Thread-1
Vimeo site Thread-2
I am getting above error

I made a native player for vimeo, base by WebView. Support public and private video.
Try it : https://github.com/ct7ct7ct7/Android-VimeoPlayer
<com.ct7ct7ct7.androidvimeoplayer.view.VimeoPlayerView
android:id="#+id/vimeoPlayer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
VimeoPlayerView vimeoPlayer = findViewById(R.id.vimeoPlayer);
getLifecycle().addObserver(vimeoPlayer);
//public video
vimeoPlayer.initialize(59777392);
//If video is open. but limit playing at embedded.
vimeoPlayer.initialize({YourPrivateVideoId}, "SettingsEmbeddedUrl")
//If video is pirvate.
vimeoPlayer.initialize({YourPrivateVideoId},"VideoHashKey", "SettingsEmbeddedUrl")

Vimeo's embed codes should work inside an Android WebView.
Vimeo only offers .mp4 links to PRO users on those users own videos.
Another option is to use the official Deep Link library for the android application. This will let you open any vimeo video in the Android app.

You can use Exoplayer to play vimeo Videos. Exoplayer is more customizable. All you need is to extract the url link from the video config link. You may use retrofit to extract the video url.
BASE_URL = "https://player.vimeo.com/video/"
You will need to use a get method like below:
#GET("{id}/{config}")
Call<JsonObject>getVideoLink(#Path("id") String id, #Path("config") String config);
You will get the id from video link. Example: "https://vimeo.com/123456789/" Here the id is: 123456789 .
JsonObject jsonObject = response.body();
JsonObject req = jsonObject.getAsJsonObject("request");
JsonObject file = req.getAsJsonObject("files");
JsonArray arr = file.getAsJsonArray("progressive");
String url = arr.get(0).getAsJsonObject().get("url").getAsString();
// Build the media item.
MediaItem mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri(url);
// Set the media item to be played.
player.setMediaItem(mediaItem);
// Prepare the player.
player.prepare();
// Start the playback.
player.play();
Don't forget to initiate Exoplayer first.

Play video in android view using php URL

I have a link in the form
http://something.com/some/play.php
When I simply put and go on the browser, the video gets played. It is a live video.
I want to make request to this URL and then run the video in android view.
How to achieve that?

With a VideoView, you should be able to do the following:
String path="http://something.com/some/play.php";
Uri uri=Uri.parse(path);
VideoView video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView01);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
video.start();
Check out the documentation regarding VideoView, and here's an example on how you can stream using VideoView.

Want to play YouTube video with embed code into webview with html content display in same webview

I have problem to displaying the youtube video with embed code into webview. I am gettinng the html content from webservice with imagess and some text content. Having also youtube embed video code in it. I have successfully display with image and text in it but when youtube embed code comes it will show error like "webpage not available".
So any one having solved this issue before then reply here.
WebView wvDesc = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wvDesc);
wvDesc.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wvDesc.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
final String mimeType = "text/html";
final String encoding = "UTF-8";
wvDesc.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, strContent, mimeType, encoding, null);
// where strContent is string which is html content need to display the text and youtube video

am not sure if this is what you need. Anyway I hope the following be useful. You can use the iframe method that youtube provides to play its videos. If the browser supports html5 will show the video with it, otherwise with flash.
You can use the following code as an example
in the above example the video id is bIPcobKMB94. You can change this id and show your video.
You can access a live example of it here

Sorry, this video is not valid for streaming to this device in Http streaming android

I can stream some videos from URL (server) successfully,
But the others (my video up to my server) is not.
You can see both in my code (Working/Not working)
I'm on stuck with this problem.
"Sorry, this video is not valid for streaming to this device"
The following code :
String url = null;
// url = "rtsp://v5.cache5.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQmC00ZlwwIDOxMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp"; // Working
// url = "http://daily3gp.com/vids/747.3gp"; // Working
url = "http://www.ooklnet.com/files/381/381489/video.mp4"; // Working
// url = "rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov"; // Working
// url = "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80419/santa.mp4"; // Working
// url = "http://trekvn.hostoi.com/encode_normal.mp4"; // Not Working
// url = "http://trekvn.hostoi.com/output_encode_mp4_box.mp4"; // Not Working
// url = "http://www.ourserversite.com:14556/ingCloud/users/400010001/mp4_320p/e8d8535852a98c949640c5d618ac23d320131022174507.mp4"; // Not Working
// url = "http://trekvn.hostoi.com/mpeg_2_ts.ts"; // Not Working
videoviewer.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(url));
videoviewer.requestFocus();
videoviewer.setKeepScreenOn(true);
videoviewer.setOnErrorListener(this);
videoviewer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
videoviewer.start()'
}
All of these video can play good on the site,
have format *.mp4 (mpeg-4 part 10), Video : .H264, Audio : aac.
Please tell me why,
and how to fix it.
p/s : Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" - 2.2.1
Thanks,

This is the issue that many people met, ensure you understand following content to fix the issue.
Through my experience and the answer in this Sorry, this video cannot be played - streaming mp4 to android
Finally, I found the reason and the solution:
- Reason : Almost the *.mp4 file was produced for developing focus on iOS, and have the encoding : H264 Main. While Android side can only stream & play the files have the encoding : H264 Baseline.
- Solution : We need convert from the encoding H264 Main to H264 Baseline (guaranteed enabled Web Optimized (move -moov atom before -mdat) feature)
- Bugs :
Sorry this video is not valid for streaming to this device.
Sorry, this video can not be played.
HandBrake tool is the easiest and cheapest way to complete it.
Thanks,
p/s : But if you use this method, you need upload your video to the server for testing.

Can not Download video from youtube

I am using http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=*VIDEO_ID* and from the data I get I am parsing the url_encoded_fmt_stream_map and I get the urls like
http://blah.youtube.com/videoplayback?blah
Earlier I could download the videos using this url but now I am not able to download the videos anymore. Anyone has a clue why?

Here is the code to return the video urls:
all credits to youtube-dl I only copied the part of their script which you need for extracting the urls
video_id = "yourvideoid"
for el_type in ['&el=embedded', '&el=detailpage', '&el=vevo', '']:
video_info_url = ('http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=%s%s& ps=default&eurl=&gl=US&hl=en'
% (video_id, el_type))
request = urllib2.Request(video_info_url)
try:
video_info_webpage = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
video_info = parse_qs(video_info_webpage)
if 'token' in video_info:
break
except (urllib2.URLError, httplib.HTTPException, socket.error), err:
print('ERROR: unable to download video info webpage: %s' % str(err))
video_url_list = video_info['url_encoded_fmt_stream_map'][0]
url_data_strs = video_info['url_encoded_fmt_stream_map'][0].split(',')
url_data = [parse_qs(uds) for uds in url_data_strs]
url_data = filter(lambda ud: 'itag' in ud and 'url' in ud, url_data)
url_map = dict((ud['itag'][0], ud['url'][0] + '&signature=' + ud['sig'][0]) for ud in url_data)
print(str(url_map))

No clue as to why, but it seems to be affecting all downloader extensions, so it's almost certainly on YouTube's side. I'm assuming it has something to do with intellectual property. YouTube is "intended" to be a streaming site, not a video file repository.
Shutaro at addons.mozilla.com has discovered a workaround that entails forcing YouTube to revert to delivering the older .webm format.

I am having the same problem and from what I understand from someone else who has fixed it that we need to add a signature to the video link (the mp4 or 3gp links that are returned)... I'm looking into this and will update. I hope you can do the same if you discover anything.
