Hi, I would like to stream video files to Android device, and intend to integrate playback in my application.
I first tried to use flash video streaming, which works pretty nice on my HTC Hero which integrated flash player, but now on Floyo ROM it does not work any more. I guess HTC player is more complete than froyo 2.2 flash support. Then I tried to stream with VLC software using RTSP and it appears to work only with WiFi. On 3G, I see on the streaming PC that the stream is sent, but nothing is displayed on the Android device, whereas it works on WiFi. I found this very interesting page from "VLC stream & convert" developper which seems to show that this method is hazardous. Indeed the proposed test does not work at all on my device/operator. http://traveldevel.com/vlc-stream-convert/streaming-over-3g Finally I am trying to stream over HTTP. I made it work (WiFi AND 3G) for audio stream only, but when I try to stream audio+video, it does not work at all (WiFi nor 3G). Of course I set the bitrate and screen size to low so it is supposed to work at least in WiFi. I tried several combination codec/muxer with no luck. So anyone knows if it is ever possible to stream video over HTTP? if yes, any idea which codec/muxer is supposed to work? Or at least what is the most universal and/or recommanded way to stream video to android device??
