Media Player 1004 error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try streaming youtube id: BUC2oxiKZ54 (in fact most don't work atm)
2. 3G/WiFi both reproduce the problem

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output = plays youtube video fine. Worked brilliantly last week or 
two, but has been down all day today. Displays error 1004 on media player:

09-27 16:30:53.666: E/MediaPlayer(2641): error (1, -1004)
09-27 16:30:53.666: E/MediaPlayer(2641): Error (1,-1004)
09-27 16:30:53.666: D/VideoView(2641): Error: 1,-1004

Caused by invalid URL:

this is returned from YoutubeUtility.calculateYouTubeUrl

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Android 2.3.4

Please provide any additional information below.

http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=BUC2oxiKZ54

returns a very long access_token that doesn't look right - would be curious to 
see what the correct output is expected. 

Right now, i catch the error and play a low quality youtube player instead by 
invoking

Same here. Negative comments on my app caught my attention. Does somebody know 
how to fix this (1,-1004) error? Need it ASAP

Same problem in my app.

From what I've found, it's tied to a server response of 403 -- meaning the URL 
returned by the calculatedUrl is dead.

YouTube must be changing things around or dropping api v1 support. Hopefully it 
just means the YouTube Player API is coming out... I hope.

Thanks, Rafael!

It works fine for me with this:

VideoStream.java (Line: 30)
before: mUrl = lArgMap.get("url");
after:  mUrl = lArgMap.get("url") + "&signature=" + lArgMap.get("sig");

Follow comment #10 for the absolute WIN.

Thanks so much. I had completely rebuilt the URL trying to resolve this issue. 
All it needed was the damn signature added? Wow.

Thanks halirfax!

Is this project discontinued? This will be in a 1.2 release, or something!
There is another project that continues this project?
