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?

Is there a way to start the buffering when the user is in the previous screen, so that when he comes to the video playing screen, the video is ready to play?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.)
I have a problem in playing video file in android using VideoView. When I keep the .3gp video file locally in res/raw folder, the video file plays successfully. But when I keep this same file on live web server and stream it, it runs on Android G1, Nexus one and Tatoo which I have for testing. But It fails to stream and play on Motorola milestone. I got the error on device as: 'This video is not valid for streaming'. What problem it should be, I am really seek of finding it. Is it the issue of programming or file format?

Is double buffering makes any sense on android? Can it be implemented?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf you click on the top left corner, on the logo of whatever channel you are listening to, it gives you an options menu for buffering. But I really don't know what all these numbers and settings actually mean. You click on a "Start Buffer" and there are just 5 numbers to choose from. Can anyone explain what all these settings are?

I'm sure this is a pretty basic functionality people will discuss about when writing games on Android, but seems like the source I found on web was pretty little.

View 14 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
How do i remove the buffering sound from an radio app for android? My phone is rooted. I transferred the app to my pc and then I used apktools for extracting. The extracted .apk contains a few maps with a lot of xml and smali files and a few image files. I could'nt find any audio files in any of these maps (which could be the irritating loading sound that i want to remove).

I am unsure of the jargon so please bear with me, I am seeking advice on the best way to go about drawing the graphics for an app I am developing. Imagine you are creating a game of checkers, where you can drag/drop one piece at a time to a blank space on the board. When the piece is being moved, it seems to me that you should not need to redraw all of the pieces that are not being moved. Using the LunarLander example, is there a way to store the background image and only draw the piece being moved over it? I have been trying to figure out a way to capture the canvas as an bitmap that is occasionally refreshed.

I've recently upgraded my Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 all to Android 4.4 and as soon as I upgraded my Wi-Fi has been awful.The Wi-Fi is incredibly unstable, steaming media has major buffering / intermittency issues, messages sent over instant messaging apps are sometimes instant and sometimes take 30+ seconds to send.
Skype is the most telling of the issues as it randomly loses connection and my notifications literally never come through..Router Wi-Fi Settings: I've tried Channels, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11
I've also tried adding
Code:
gDataInactivityTimeout=200
to the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file as found:URL>...Wi-Fi is Always On, Wi-Fi Frequency is Auto or 2.4, Wi-Fi Optimization is Off.The wireless / wifi works fine on other tablets, laptops and wireless devices just my nexus devices on 4.4
I got this weird issue on all my devices where after a certain point the video freezes, buffers for ~8 seconds, plays for a couple and repeat. This is not video specific and changing the quality does not fix this, it just makes the problem appear later on. In HQ quality, after about 1:45 minutes of playing flawlessly it starts buffering the whole damn time. SQ quality can play up to 3-4 minutes before any issues arise.
This is on a broad range of devices, both mine and those of friends. My own Samsung Galaxy S2 running CM10.1 and Cube U30GT running CM10, but had the issue on stock, and a stock Galaxy Note and HTC Hero 2.
Other info. It's not network related. Happens on both wifi and 3g and on different connections/ISPs. My own Internet connection clocks up to 20mbps and has no problem playing any YT video on my PC. Other "streaming" video stuff work great. Twitch.tv plays great as does dailymotion. Other players, other than the default YT app, have no issues playing videos even on HQ. YT through the browser works fine but somehow doesn't let me switch to HQ and the "UI" generally feels bad. Feedly (which is great btw), has a sort of plugin that uses the YT app to play videos natively. Any videos played in the feedly app, using this "plugin" play great even in HQ, which is weird. I've tried reinstalling, uninstalling, stalling, killing, maiming, clearing data+cache, completely wiping the devices and sacrificing firstborns to Lucifer.
This feels like a caching issue of the youtube app. It feels like it starts caching up to a point (playing great in the process) and at some points cache fills up and starts deleting in order to make space to cache further. That leads to the pause and buffering of the video.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used videoview to play mp4 formate movie, but when start to play it, the videoview can't play smoothly, that means there have a little lag,
but in the: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html the android support media formate have mp4..
the code is very simple,just like in the sample code...
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.
VideoView video_view = new VideoView(context); video_view.setVideoPath("res/raw/movie.mp4"); video_view.setMediaController(new MediaController(context)); video_view.requestFocus(); video_view.start();
Seems simple, but even with video files that I've seen work in other video players on the phone, I keep getting the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" message. And this associated debug info: INFO/MediaPlayer-JNI(234): prepareAsync: surface=0x1a3ff0 (id=1) ERROR/MediaPlayer(234): Error (-4,0) DEBUG/VideoView(234): Error: -4,0
what those errors mean or how I can fix this? If this is not how I should be using VideoView please let me know. I'd appreciate being sent in the right direction for how to get a local video file playing within a view.
Our video server protect video data with cookie authentication. Video player app must authenticate and store session key to cookie strage before access to video server. First, My android video player app access to authentication server using HttpClient class in android library. Next, app access to video server with HttpClient's cookie data. But I think HttpClient can't pass cookie data to VideoView.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a problem with a SlidingDrawer that I created and that should go over my VideoView. When the activity is opened for the first time you can see the slider above the video and when you tap it, it slides open. However, as soon as you close the slider it seems to disappear underneath the VideoView and is not visible anymore. It is still there and when you tap the location where the handle is located the slidingDrawer reappears, but I would rather prefer if it wasn't hiding all the time ;) If anyone knows what I can do about that and help me out, that would be really fantastic because I have been trying for hours now and I have no idea what I should do.
