Q:

Can anyone tell me how to Stream from a HTTPS (note the S) video source on Android

Can anyone tell me how to Stream from a HTTPS (note the S) video source on Android?! 
VideoView mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoplayback_videoView);
... 
Uri videouri = Uri.parse("https://myvideo.mp4");
  mVideoView.setVideoURI(videouri);
  mVideoView.start();

This type of approach does not work.  If i remove the "S" it works. 

A:

I am sorry but the current data sources supported by the Android Media Framework don't include HTTPS.  That is the reason because it is working using HTTP but not with HTTPS. 
From Android 3.0, and I suppose it will also be included in Android 2.4, there will be a DRM framework that will allow you to include your own DRM plugins to protect your streaming content.  But you need to wait for it....
