You can set a URL like this:

vv.LoadVideo("http", "http://...")

I see. MOV files are not supported by VideoView. You can see the supported media here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

VideoView is a native control. If it isn't able to read a file then there is not much that can be done. Other apps may use different libraries to play the video.
