Don't use setVideoPath that would be appropriate if the video is stored on your device, you should use setVideoURI for video over http.

String urlStrinh = "https://www.thenewboston.com/forum/project_files/006_testVideo.mp4";
VideoView buckysVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.buckysVideoView);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(buckysVideoView);
Uri videoURI = Uri.parse(urlString);
buckysVideoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
buckysVideoView.setVideoURI(videoURI);
buckysVideoView.start();
