I get this error when trying to start a video with a VideoView on a Sony Ericsson Xperia ray OS vers. 2.3.4. The video playback works just fine on both Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 and Nexus 7 4.1.1/4.1.2. Any thoughts ? Thanks !
LE: It also works on Nexus S 4.1.1.
LE2: I’ve just tried it with a Galaxy S with 2.3.4. It still doesn’t work. Result is below.
LE3: The same error applies to a xx.mp3 file. 😐
LE4: When I put the same file on the SD card and play it from there, it runs just fine…

The issue was due to the fact that the respective videos were using HTTPS links.
After switching to plain HTTP, they worked.
Also, I observed that using empty spaces in the video link instead of %20 also caused an error. This also happened only on 2.3.4 and not on 4.1.1. So be sure to look for that as well.
