Android : Droid Playing Video Data From A Custom Network Stream?
Mar 13, 2010
Does Android MediaPlayer can only work with file sources? I would like play media (video) from a network stream, but the stream comes in a non-standard protocol, so I have to somehow feed Android MediaPlayer with the data only. Is there anyway to do that? I found a few web pages suggesting using a temporary file for the buffered media data etc. but I would like to minimize the I/O usage as much as I can, so I'm looking for a API only solution if there is any? how about JNI? but looks like the permissions going to be an issue with that also.

Is there a way to stream music that is playing on your phone into Winamp? For instance, if using Pandora or Slacker radio and I have my computer headset on, I would like to listen to the music that is playing on my phone, on my computer. My media player of choice is Winamp.

My eris has always has pretty alright battery life, what I would expect out of a smartphone, if unplugged at 9AM it usually was running on its last leg around midnight. I've had it for over 5 months now, I've always had it activated on alltel, I installed the 2.1v3 leak before the official OTA was out and just lately it seems like there something very wrong with my battery life...
If I unplug my phone at 9AM within the past week and occasionaly check and respond to a text message, my battery had been down to almost 30% by NOON... what?..
I have noticed that if I disable Mobile Network (3g/1x data), the thing lasts all day and some... If I turn mobile network ON, I can't see that I have any network traffic or any apps running in the background that are syncing data at all... I've had google account sync mess up on me before and have to reset my google account because it gets stuck in a syncing loop, but its not doing that, already checked. Very weird.
Anyone thing it could be something wrong in my ##PROGRAM#/##778# provisioning menu, maybe something got changed?.. Maybe it could be do to Alltel's AT&T merger that's happening right now, maybe some 3G tower's radios are turned off or something...

I hope someone can help. All my co-workers that have the Incredible, Droid ! and EVO can stream off of iphonemoviez. I was never able to on my X and thought it was because it did not have Froyo. I just updated my software to 2.3 or what ever Verizon's version is and the first thing I did was check out the site and try to stream a movie. It still says "This video can not be streamed to this device" am I missing something? I would love for this to work. Everything else is great after 2.2/2.3.

I am trying to make a very simple radio player for Android and I cannot get the audio streaming to work. In my latest attempt it plays for about 1 second and stops for some streams and it doesnt work at all for some other streams. Logcat doesn't give much useful information to me. I am testing on HTC Hero (Android 1.5).
If I hook the completion and buffer events I see the audio gets a complete event but it keeps buffering. Is there anything wrong with the code below? Should I be able to stream the the audio streams below? Is there a complete example somewhere of a working radio streaming?................

I have over 100GBs of audio and video files on my PC that I would like to access at anytime. Whether it's around the house or on the go. 9 out of 10 places I'm usually at have highspeed wifi connections so I'm not too concerned about streaming over the 3G network; although it would be nice.
Basically, I want to set my PC up as a private media/file server that I can access from my rooted Droid X 2.2.....cheaply, free if possible.
I'm actually surprised that this device doesn't have streaming capabilities over local wifi networks. I can transfer files over from my home network and then play them but that requires a lot of wait time and uses a lot of space on the phone.
How to configure ftp and http servers with DNS if that helps. http would take a long time to code and can't be updated quickly so I'm hoping it can be done with an ftp server.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully streamed AVI's to their droid?
My history with streaming:
- Used Orblive on PC to stream media (Media Skin)
- Streamed to my omnia i910, played media with Coreplayer
Worked pretty good with that setup, streamed AVI's very well (which is practically 99% of my media library)
Now i have a moto droid(1) but im having trouble trying to find an easy setup to stream video media.
Have tried:
- VLC. The setup to stream media isnt very user friendly such as a web menu that you log into your PC and browse through your library (or atleast i havent found a good tutorial yet)
- GMOTE. Its easy. Install GMOTE (w/java) on the PC (if linux have VLC on the PC too) but on the droid... you cant stream AVI. I have tried installing VLC on my droid, opens the program but wont play video. I also have Rock Player but you cant make it the default media player, so thus it wont play the stream either (or atleast i havent found/read a way to do so)
- Orblive. Great web interface. Problems though is that orb only streams in WMV/.SDP/.3GP/.PLS/Flash. The droid can only do Flash (recently, as in... 2 days ago or so) or 3GP. Flash looks... well... to give it some credit... "decent" but isnt the best FPS IMO. The 3GP format looks like watching horrible pixelling crap, to say the least. Other formats wont even stream due to the media player.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Looking for stream software (either Win7 or Linux (ubuntu)) that will stream video files (AVI's) w/o having to convert them before streaming to the android phone. If possible... A Decent setup such as web interface thats easy to point/click navigate through the stream library (like GMOTE or Orblive)
Is this possible? I would like to just keep using Orblive but i cant change the default media player... and the only other media player i have found is Rock Player (and recently VLC on android)

I want to subscribe to tennistv.com so I can watch tennis and would love to watch it on my Samsung Galaxy S phone too.
It uses a WMP DRM'd stream for live matches, is there any media players on android that I can use or maybe a 3rd party service which can transcode the stream in a format the phone can understand?

We're currently launching a site with live (TV) and non-live streaming of video material.
The RTSP live feeds play fine on Android (.sdp extension) however other videos published on the side in MP4 format - don't. Neither the browser nor the Meridian player recognise the files and play them.
Any ideas where we went wrong?
PS. I'm not the guy in charge of the video encoding etc. but I'm looking for some tips and information for our team.

I was tried for RTSP stream for a long time, finally I could success to play the RTSP stream from mobile Youtube website:
http://m.youtube.com/
My approach is to copy the stream link and paste it in my code, then, there are sometimes success to work(play) on Android and sometimes will not. I can't figure out why? Is something wrong about Youtube server? Because my code is just the same, and only change is the stream link URL. I used VideoView widget and my Android platform is sdk 1.5 and under x86-based, so I really want to know why and how can I solved for this. This is the logcat when I can't work for the video stream.

I have an application with a lot of media data (images and videos) that were previously stored on the sdcard. With that, images and videos are displayed fine in my app.
Now, in order to secure the content more, I wanted to move the content to the internal storage / data dir of the app, which I did. I copied all media with a routine within my app to the data folder (/data/data/com.myapp/some/folders/video.mp4) and adjusted the path in my app so that it would look for the media in the internal storage data directory and not the sdcard anymore.
Everything works fine, images are being displayed (decoded) properly, but videos don't play. They files do exist though - I do not get a FileNotFound exception. But an IOException: java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0xFFFFFFFC
Why is that? Everything is handled within my one app and the videos have been copied with the same routine as the images, thus having the same permission settings. Looking at the stack trace, it all runs in process id 18060).
Why I cannot playback the video from internal storage? Or how can I?

I am a sales engineer for a company that specializes in streaming. I have and love my droid, i have tried using it with several of our products for live streaming but with no luck.
I have tried video meant to stream with the Ipod and nothing happens.
I have tried MP4 ASP and it starts to open the video but never plays.
I have tried progressive downloads of both with no luck.
i have tried 3gp with no luck.
Do you know what video formats it can stream?

I would like to receive an audio stream from an application running on a PC using the 802.11 connection. I tried the following and received Error (-1, 0) from the MediaPlayer:
mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); mp.setDataSource("http://10.1.201.114:11224");
The MediaPlayer does connect to the application and the application starts sending audio but nothing happens on the G1. Is the setDataSource call above correct? If so, how do I set things like sample rate, etc? If not, any help would be great!

looked for an answer on quite a few threads and forums on this one.on my moto droid, there are a couple mobile sites that will not stream video, but work on my old omnia, and my brothers htc hero. ie break mobile, the onion, and a few random other ones. sometimes it will play one video, then every other video from that server gives a "video not eligable for streaming on this device" or similar error message. it seems odd to me that some mobile vids will work on a hero but not the droid? or is it just my phone? anyone else fed up with this?

I emailed myself a video from my phone. Downloaded it to my laptop. its a 3gp extension file. What do I play it with? I suppose that if I manually take it off the SD card, it will be the same extension. How do I deal with these files? VLC, QuickTime did not play it. Windows Movie Maker did not open it either. On a Mac it worked fine and flawlessly.

First, sorry but my English is bad. I'm developing an app for android. I use a function (see below) for transfer a file on the network. removed some code...
Two situation: -S1: in is get from a socket and out is a locale file -S2: in is the local file and out is get from a socket
Well ! S1 and S2 work on the emulator. But, on a real device, S1 make some problem. The file is mixed :/ ! For example i would to transfer this text: "123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF" But i receive this: "123456789ABCDEF 12345678923456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 12345678ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789ABCDEF 123456789" (not really a real example) The content received have same size as the source. Look at this: "123456789ABCDEF" is send and "12345678ABCDEF" is received.
How does it is possible ? Someone can help me?

I am using the Alcatel OT-918d (stock rom, root access enabled) and while playing videos in the browser, I do not get an action prompt to choose from the available video players and browser plays the video using "default video player".
The so called "default video player" has been uninstalled though. Have cleared cache, clear defaults, clear data for the browser but still do not get a prompt to choose a video player while playing videos from the browser.
Also installed the "Default App Manager" to check for the default video player. However, it indicates no defaults to play any videos (either from file or streaming videos).
(If I play a stored video from phone or SD card, I do get the prompt to choose a video player. But do not get a prompt if playing any video in the browser.)
