In response to your comment on keyeslabs.com: Yes, YouTube says we should use RTSP, but that doesn't work. Look at their own YouTube implementation on Android, and you'll see that they grab a mangled mp4 url, rather than rtsp (you can verify this by looking at the logcat output while using YouTube player). Sure, this will break at some point when YouTube changes its protocol, but for now it's the best solution. RTSP fails in many situations on Android, particularly when you're behind a firewall on WiFi and the server can't communicate to the client. I went a long way down the RTSP road, and ended up back here. Let me know if you find something different!
In any case, you're welcome to use the concepts in my impl to grab your RTSP stream if that's the direction that you want to go. You're still going to need to get a token, etc., and all of that code is available to you in my activity implementation. dk On Oct 13, 8:26 am, dadical <[email protected]> wrote: > I've done this before.
