play a video right away

I am trying to use VideoView to play a streaming video and what seems to happen is that it has to download the entire video before it will play even the first second. obviously, I would like it to start playing the video as soon as possible. is there something I can do with VideoView to make this work, or is this something that's controlled on the site hosting the video URL?

It's possible that the file you have uploaded (or linked to) is not streamable and it will have to play it locally.

Can you check if it still happens with other video's ?
