Android :: Audio Progressive Download Over HTTP
Apr 14, 2009I have a couple questions regarding audio streaming/progressive download over HTTP. Could you please help me?
1. MediaPlayer supports progressive download according to the developer guide from this link http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html ("If you're passing a URL to an online media file, the file must be capable of progressive download."). As far as I understand progressive download means media playback during download process with saving the media file to file system(SD card or internal FS) after the downloading is finished (if it's a file, not a stream in the passed URL). So, I tried to set the following URL: setDataSource (http://84.204.154.49/mmapi/music.mp3). Playback is fine, but the file isn't saved to SD card or internal phone file system. Can MediaPlayer save media content to the file system after downloading is completed? Is there a way to turn on such capability?
2. Does MediaPlayer support HTTP streaming? I tried to use http://217.10.32.134:8129/ultrafan128.mp3, http://62.32.66.180:8800, also AMR-, AAC- audio stream over HTTP on the local server, but playback does not work. For example, RTSP streaming works fine with AMR and AAC.

Android :: Using VideoView For Streaming Or Progressive Download
Jan 13, 2010I'm confused about how VideoView can be used to play video: from a local file, as progressive download and streaming. This example work for me (on 1.5 and 2.0 at least) by downloading the file and playing it locally. But is it necessary to download the video before playing: is it possible to play video as progressive download, or by streaming, simply by using setVideoPath or setVideoURI, as in VideoViewDemo in the API samples?
The VideoViewDemo code suggests using setVideoURI for streaming, but I'm not clear what kind of URL I should be using. Does someone have an example URL for a video that can be streamed to the Android emulator using the VideoViewDemo code? Can progressive download be used with VideoViewDemo? I get a 'sorry, this video cannot be played' message using setVideoPath with URLs that work fine with the blog example linked to above.(Is this a problem in the emulator? I've tried 1.5 and 2.0.)
Android :: Streaming Video (or Progressive Download) To Browser
Jan 22, 2010I am trying to stream video (or use progressive download) to a Motorola Droid Browser and am not having a lot of luck. With my iPhone, I can direct Safari to http://xxx.xxx.xxx/FileName.mp4 (which is an MPEG-4 video file) and Safari opens quicktime and the video plays. However, with the Droid, I go to the same web address and am faced with a error stating "Cannot play video. Sorry, this video is not valid for streaming to this device".
When I direct the Droid's browser to a WMV file, it will fully download the video file and then play it in what appears to be the Droid video player if I click on it. Ideally, I'd like to replicate the behavior of the iPhone on the Droid, where the video player pops up and the video starts before the complete download. Video format isn't an issue, as I can encode the video to pretty much any standard. I was trying the .mp4 file because the Droid documentation says that it supports MPEG-4 video, although I can't get it to work from the browser.
Android :: Video Settings For Progressive Download - Android
Jun 21, 2010My app uses streaming (i think the correct term is progressive download) for videos. To be able to do that, the mp4 file must be hinted and I manage to do that. Now, is there a suggested or advisable settings for the mp4 like the bit rates, resolution, frame rate etc so that the playback is smooth?

HTC Droid Eris : Trying To Download Apk Files As Zip Files?
May 6, 2010I'm trying to download the SMS app from XDA and the guy has it up as a zip file. I download it and extract it, and it's a folder with random crap in it. No apk.
Then I read that I just change the file name. I'm on a Mac, so I change the filename and it verifies if I want to change it from .zip to .apk and I say "yes." Put it on my card and Astro still doesn't recognize it. It's list, but it's an icon with a window and a gear in front of it.
I installed the Vanilla email app, no problem. Not sure what the deal is with this one.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Making Video Files Ready For Playback Over HTTP
Jul 9, 2010I am working on an Android application which is supposed to play videos over HTTP on Android devices. Before we setup a server to host the video files just wanted a few things clarified: As per the developer documentation, Android supports .mp4 and .3gp container formats for video.
The audio-video codec used for our media files is H.263(video) and AAC LC (Audio). I did a little experiment and passed URL of one of the video files to the MediaPlayer class and got the following error: Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info PVMFErrContentInvalidForProgressivePlayback.
From the docs, I came to know that for progressive playback, the video's index (e.g moov atom) should be at the start of the file. How do we make our videos Android-ready? What are the different considerations that we need to make?

Android :: Droid Doesn't Download Files From Some Sites
Apr 9, 2010When I am trying to download files from certain websites, including my school's website, the files attempt to download and complete almost instantly, usually with varying bytes or KB of data downloaded, not the full file. On my school's site I try to download a variety of file types including .pdf .doc .ppt and some .zip and it's the same thing with all of them, this has happened on several other sites as well, but usually I can download these file types without a problem. I am just wondering what could be causing this problem and if it is fixable.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Way To Download / Replace Droid Resource Files?
May 13, 2010My application will have some customisation for each company that uses it. Up until now, I have been loading images and strings from resource files. The idea is that the default resources will be distributed with the application and company specific resources will be loaded from our server after they click on a link from an email to launch the initialisation intent. Does anyone know how to replace resource files? I would really like to keep using resource files to avoid rewriting a lot of code/XML. I would distribute the application from our own server, rather than through the app store, so that we could have one version per company, but unfortunately this will give quite nasty security warnings that would concern our customers.

Media :: Music Player Can't Find All Files / Need Doesn't Use Native Index Of Files?
Apr 4, 2010I have a Samsung Galaxy I7500 using android 1.5. I extended my phone with a 16GB microSD. I copied a big music collection (around 800 files) into a folder on this SD. Now the problem is that the music player can't find all the files.
I know that there are several threads about android not finding music. The answers are usually that the library hasn't yet been updated or that the ID3 tags are not correct.
I have checked both.
Btw. I can play the files using ASTRO.
In my opinion it seems as if android can't build up a library with too many entries. If I rename the files or put them into different folders, songs disappear and reappear quite randomly.
Do you have any solutions? Is there a music player which doesn't use the native music players index of files?

If there a better/faster method (drag n drop or such) to move files from/to the droid?
Also is there a file structure in place where you *must* put specific file types? (I have the pdf manual, and want to copy it as well to the DX... I'm not sure where it goes though, or how to move the file over.)
Is there a faq here on the best methods and file folder locations specific to the DX?
Media :: Not All MP3 Files Transferring To Droid Eris
May 4, 2010I got my droid eris in december for christmas and have had no problems until recently. Everytime I try to put more music onto my Eris it'll only transfer SOME of the files. For instance, my phone was stolen last week and I just got my new one today. I tried to put about 20 artists onto it, and after waiting 30 minutes for them all to transfer only about 15 were there. I've checked and I still have ample space too.
