Hi guys,

I decided to write my own streaming utility for the MediaPlayer.  My
solution is now documented as a tutorial on my blog including
including source code:

blog.pocketjourney.com.

Please check it out & leave a comment on my blog if you have
questions.

Best of luck,

2008-04-04 Thread Cheryl Sedota

I can play a video from a local directory just fine.  I am using a
video podcast intended for the iPhone and I put it in an sdcard image
and accessed it at "/sdcard/myVideos/TheVideoPodcast.m4v"

Then use VideoView in your layout XML and set its URI programatically
in your activity:

VideoView vv = (VideoView)
findViewById(R.id.video_playback_screen);
vv.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoFile));
vv.requestFocus();

Hope that helps.
Cheryl

I was unable to play the streaming .mp4 file as well.

Curiously, the MediaPlayer example doesn't even seem capable of
streaming an mp4 file out of the box as the url is sets for the
MediaPlayer is just ":

path = "http://";;

I updated it to point to my file here:

path = "http://www.pocketjourney.com/audio.mp4";;

Has anyone been able to stream an .mp4 file?  It's supposed to be
supported but I can't find any proof that this claim is true.
