play youtube video in android

I am working on an android app and i want to play streaming video from youtube. I read posts like this: How to play YouTube video in my Android application? I tried with that source:

  startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsDYIgX_gDs")));

i got video in WebView, i can heard sound but no pictures..Also that is not what i want because i want video to start automatically when the activity start, without clicking Button play(because i want also to add some counters,timers.. for other treatments). Then, i tried whith MediaPlayer:

 String FILE_PATH="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsDYIgX_gDs";
    MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
    mp.setDataSource(FILE_PATH);
    mp.prepare();
    mp.start();

Hopping here having a control on video start by mp.start(); . But i have these errors:

05-20 15:36:36.279: ERROR/HTTPStream(33): recv failed, errno = 11 (Try again)
05-20 15:36:36.808: ERROR/HTTPDataSource(33): HTTP request failed w/ http status 303

Try changing the Start intent to :

     startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
Uri.parse(String.format("http://www.youtube.com/v/%s", 
url.substring("vnd.youtube:".length(),n)));
