I have followed this link for development.

Why is this error ??

I guess this seems to be a bug. Check this : code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=5431 — Siddharth_Vyas

I am not sure but there might be change in API or something like change of OS versions. — Siddharth_Vyas

use loadVideo(video_id) instead of cueVideo(video_id), this helps me
