Does JavaCV FFmpegFrameGrabber support using a url as a video source?

I've tried using:

grabber = new FFmpegFrameGrabber("http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4");
grabber.setFormat("mp4");
grabber.start()

But start() throws the following error

org.bytedeco.javacv.FrameGrabber$Exception: avformat_open_input() error -5: Could not open input "http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4". (Has setFormat() been called?)

By the way I'm developing in Android and everything works great using a video file from the sd-card.

Thanks!

hahaha.. sorry guys, I realized that I hadn't included the INTERNET permission into the manifest. – LeoFarage Apr 20 '15 at 19:45
have you found a solution? – Magda Jun 26 '15 at 11:37
Hi @Magda, on my case it was a missing INTERNET permission inside the manifest -- which prevented the FFMPEGFrameGrabber to access the internet. – LeoFarage Jun 26 '15 at 14:02
