title: Android: Play RTSP video from URL
body: <p>I'm trying to play an RTSP url in my android app, using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String url = "rtsp://mobilestr1.livestream.com/livestreamiphone/nyc";
                      Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
                      System.out.println("URL="+url);
                      startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However an alert dialog pops up after a few seconds saying "Unable to play video".
  I have tried several RTSP urls and none of them work. What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
