Cannot play youtube streams

[aran-arunakiri]

When I try to play YouTube stream with the Android MediaPlayer everything is fine, but player hater throws the exception below. When I change the uri with a regular mp3 uri, everything goes fine, so I don't think it actually has to do with the state in which I call play()

The URI is (it is probably already expired so you won't be able to stream it anymore):

Are you unescaping the uri before you pass it?
