Google TV VideoView playing YouTube rtsp videos

I am accessing a video link via the YouTube API thusly:

JSONObject(videoString).getJSONObject("entry")
                .getJSONObject("media$group").getJSONArray("media$content")
                .getJSONObject(0).getString("url");

Which gives me a link to a video such as:

rtsp://v7.cache5.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlXg0iXvlQ9SBMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp

I then try to play the video with:

        mVideoView.setVideoURI(result);
        final MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(mActivity);
        mVideoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
        mVideoView.requestFocus();
        mVideoView.start();

This works fine on my tablet running ICS but doesn't seem to work on GoogleTV, is there something I need to do specifically for GTV in this instance?

Logcat output:

04-30 14:03:41.212: D/MediaPlayer(1132): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side

I verified that VideoView playing YouTube RTSP video works on Google TV:

    String vURL = "rtsp://v5.cache1.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQnhycnrJQ8qmRMYESARFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYPj_hYjnq6uUTQw=/0/0/0/video.3gp";

    mVideoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.myvideoview);
    mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(vURL));
    final MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
    mVideoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
    mVideoView.requestFocus();
    mVideoView.start();

Only thing I changed was parsing a different URL. Try this working URL in your code then.
