The Video and VideoPlayer widgets are both capable of playing streaming videos from the web. Here's a simple example of playing a video from the web:

import kivy
kivy.require('1.8.0')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder

root = Builder.load_string('''
VideoPlayer:
    source: 'http://www.debone.com/VivVilConGminorRV578.mpg'
''')

classTestApp(App):
    defbuild(self):

if __name__ == '__main__':
    TestApp().run()

This will work for any supported streaming media type. Note, however, that YouTube does not provide streaming URLs. Check my answer here to a question which was specifically asking about YouTube.
