Add support for being able to play URLs #47

Here's an idea.

Add support for being able to play URLs. This could start with a text input
box in which one could paste an URL, but could perhaps be extended to
support filetypes. So for example, when in the browser and clicking on a
link (say .mkv, .mov, .mp4 or even youtube videos) you'd get a dialog to
play it with the Video player, Youtube player or XBMC Remote. Then just
pass this URL to a running XBMC instance and tadaa, you have yourself a
very handy way to watch video content in any links/feeds you view on your
Android device.

I'm not really sure if the URL to the file is available in this function
but it should be, and if so it should be possible to feed that to XBMC. Right?

Need to evaluate, but it's a good idea!

Works, awesome guys :)

Is it possible to add youtube support? I can imagine it's more difficult but it 
would be nice to have.

Will give it a swing...
