title: Can't run live stream using Vitamio
body: <p>I'm trying to use <a href="https://github.com/yixia/VitamioBundle" rel="nofollow">Vitamio</a> to run RTSP video stream, I'm using Vitamio-sample after updating it to run the stream through <code>VideoViewDemo</code> activity:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class VideoViewDemo extends Activity {
  
      /**
       * TODO: Set the path variable to a streaming video URL or a local media file
       * path.
       */
      private String path = "rtsp://user:password@&lt;stream-ip&gt;:554";
      private VideoView mVideoView;
      private EditText mEditText;
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
          super.onCreate(icicle);
          if (!LibsChecker.checkVitamioLibs(this))
              return;
          setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
          mEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.url);
          mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
          if (path == "") {
              // Tell the user to provide a media file URL/path.
              Toast.makeText(VideoViewDemo.this, "Please edit VideoViewDemo Activity, and set path" + " variable to your media file URL/path", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
              return;
          } else {
              /*
               * Alternatively,for streaming media you can use
               * mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(URLstring));
               */
              mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
              mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
              mVideoView.requestFocus();
              //mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
  
              mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
                  @Override
                  public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                      // optional need Vitamio 4.0
                      mediaPlayer.setPlaybackSpeed(1.0f);
                  }
              });
          }
  
      }
  
      public void startPlay(View view) {
          String url = mEditText.getText().toString();
          path = url;
          if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(url)) {
              mVideoView.setVideoPath(url);
          }
      }
  
      public void openVideo(View View) {
        mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But after running it, it only run for a very little time(which gives me only the first video frame [a fixed photo] ) and then the app crashes and give me <em>app not responding</em> message without printing any error messages in the log:</p>
