Description
If you set a url like "https://something.com/route/to/file.mp4" to a MediaPlayer or Video QML Items or their C++ Widget equivalent you get the following exception on QtAndroidMediaPlayer:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: https://afdc1d5f7fc181fca110-0b1385a62d762ade5ff0a8631476a6a0.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/render.mp4

I think the problem arise because on line 371 of QtAndroidMediaPlayer has been used the following line of code:
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(mActivity, mUri);
while according to official documentation on android developer portal (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediaplayer.html), you should use a different setDataSource signature:
Playing from a remote URL via HTTP streaming looks like this:
String url = "http://........"; // your URL here
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
