I'm playing video on Android using media player via RTSP. The player takes about 12s to buffer before it starts playing. Anyone know how I can convince the player to buffer less? I have full control over the RTSP server and the SDP it returns.

Is there a way to change the buffer size in the media player on Android? I'm trying to stream video to mobile devices over rtsp. It works fine, but on android v1.6+ the buffer overflows leading to degraded video quality. Is there any way to configure the media player to use a bigger buffer, or take any other measures to prevent overflow?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an app that displays a video using VideoView. The layout consists of a Clock and a VideoView laid out in a simple vertical LinearLayout. Here's my code snippet that I use:
VideoView mVideoView = new VideoView(this);
mVideoView.setVideoPath(myVideoURL);
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
Since the buffering of the video takes about 8-10 seconds, the layout comes up with the Clock, but the VideoView stays blank. What I want to achieve is this:
- Display an ImageView for the 10s while the video is buffering
- Detect when the video is ready to be played (onPrepared?)
- Show the Clock and VideoView and start the Video
I have a problem streaming live video files. When I stream a file say of duration 5 minutes, it stops after streaming 2 to 3 minutes and enters in to endless buffering state. The VideoViews's OnBufferingListener is endlessly executed, however it shows that the buffering is not progressing anymore : MediaPlayer's buffer says it has buffered for example 90% whereas when I call videoView.getBufferPercentage(), I get something very low, like 1% or 5% ... After a while in the buffering state, the application crashes. It seems like the buffering is taking all the memory.

// INIT PART mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mMediaPlayer.reset();
mMediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnSeekCompleteListener(this);

I can start streaming a video perefectly. However, if i pause it to go do something, or to let it pre-buffer, and i play it again, it will play for a little then stop. I look at the seekbar and it says its fully buffered. However, its not and it doesnt play anything and just sits their saying its buffering.
My guessing, well first attempt and finding the culprit, is that the service that is processing the video gets prematurely terminated and restarted thus returning that the buffer is complete.
I know the zeiki TB782B is cheap decent tablet but the video buffering from streaming websites is just a killer some sites are better than others Its not my internet speed that's good,but is there anyway I can improve this issue by downloading an app or some kind of hack or update?

AT&T evidently has a new campaign to get iPhone users to reduce the amount of video streaming and other data intensive activities they engage in, and may start charging them based on data use.
Their network just can't handle current data levels, and AT&T can't get it updated fast enough to handle the data requirements.
Kind of blows up the ads they've had on TV showing how great their network coverage "really is."

View 2 Replies View RelatedWell I've been using a class 6 microSDHC card, and it seems like the "Loading SD card..." time that appears when doing such things as opening albums to view pictures is still the same - several seconds. That leads me to assume that this sd loading time has a lot to do with the properties of the device itself (i.e. processing power, software efficiency).
With that said, will we ever see a reduced "Loading SD card..." time in the future? Perhaps from the coming Android 2.1 update? Do you custom ROM/Gumbo kernal users also have a several-second "Loading SD card..." time even with a class 6 sd card?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to make a video as a DEMO for one application I have developed. I know that there are some experimental applications that use DDMS and achieve a framerate of 5-6 fps. This framerate is completely insufficient for my purposes since the application has smooth animations that i would like to show. Is there anyone that has found a way to do a real time screen capture on android? Should I settle for a capture of the emulator or a real video done with a real camera?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a VideoView to display a video. I am using setOnPreparedListener and setOnCompletionListener to do stuff before and after the video starts and ends.
I was wondering how I could go about detecting some point of time in the video. For eg, say I want to write log to a file when the video has played for 10s. How can I detect the 10s mark?
I am creating a program which requires me to change a setting in the program when the video reaches specific points (at 1/3 of the video's completion, 2/3's and on completion). Android has a built in callback method for completion so performing an action at that point in time is not difficult. However, I don't know how to go about checking when the video has reached 1/3 and 2/3's of completion.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to do video recording and uploading functionality in android application.Video recording and uploading need to be done on same time.
When user click on Record button , video recording need to be started and once user stops the recording , then recorded video need to be uploaded on remote server.
As mentioned audio stops after some random number of times when played from either Music/Video player. After some debugging, I found that the problem is:
In "android_audio_output.cpp"->audout_thread_func() there is a call to wait(iAudioThreadSem->Wait()) just before the while(1) and it is waiting indefinitely for something.
Can anybody tell me what is it waiting for and why is it not able to come out? From what I can understand, it is waiting for a signal (semaphore) but where is it expecting a signal from?
When I use the VideoView to play the RTSP streaming, the VideoView will buffering some cache buffer. Is there any method to tell the VideoView DON'T buffer? My code:
String VideoUri = "rtsp://192.168.5.121:6666/live/h264"; mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view); mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(VideoUri)); mVideoView.start();
I am using VideoView to display a video in my app. The problem is that, once the layout gets created there is lag of almost 10-30 seconds before which the video starts to play. I can see in LogCat that the video is buffering during the lag. Is there a way I can minimize this lag, or tell MediaPlayer to play the video sooner?
