Android stream video from self signed HTTPS

I need a solution to stream HTTPS encrypted videos through the Android Media Player from a self signed URL. This works in browsers like Chrome where we can click a 'accept certificate' and continue. But by default android seems to throw an error when such and uri is passed to the [login to view URL] function. The use case is that we are running a small micro server within the application and want to make sure the connection is secured but are not able to ensure that without https based communication between the media player and the local server. One of the ideas is to write a wrapper that overrides the normal methods and suppresses the certificate error but still provides an encrypted stream to be played. For testing you can use the following urls which have self signed certificates: [login to view URL] [login to view URL]
