Hi,
i have a video on: http://192.168.0.179/2.mp4

when i just call:

Uri myUrl = Uri.parse("http://192.168.0.179/2.mp4");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, myUrl);
startActivity(intent);

it opens the browser and than the mediaplayer.
ok...

but how to open the mediaplayer direct, without the need of the browser
and the result just the same (you know this autorotating and standart controls as it is)

cant be so hard.. looked in so many codes, but most try own streaming and embed the
video in there page etc.

i just like to call the mediaplayer, give him the url and done.

thanks
chris

May be this can help u.....
Observe the properties of intent in the log when a media file is played....
Then accordingly set the properties of your intent to directly open the mediaplayer.

ok...
had a problem written here bevor (latly i changed it with this text)

It was about .. opening RTSP via INTENT

I had:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri u = Uri.parse(xpath);
i.setDataAndType(u, "video/*");
startActivity(i);

and it just crashed.

But when u use:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri u = Uri.parse(xpath);
i.setData(u);
startActivity(i);

it works fine for me
