Android :: Streaming MP4 Videos In Application On Android Platform
Oct 16, 2010
I have an app that I designed for Iphone and Ipad, and am now porting it over to android. It streams high quality video files and I am having a great deal of trouble getting the files to stream in android. I have seen the file stream on a motorola phone at the ATT store, but have had trouble with an android phone on tmobile, and verizon. The files are MP4 files, encoded in quicktime using H.264, and saved as quicktimes. I then open them in MPEG streamclip, and save them as MP4s. The reason is that I can get higher quality at lower bit rates and smaller file sizes using this way. I am encoding at 720 x 400, using a bit rate of 800k per second. These work perfectly in the iphone environment but I have had limited success in the android world.
Here is a link to a file if you are interested in investigating further:

Does android run differently on different service carriers? Is this a hardware limitation on different phones? My question is this.Can anyone verify that there is a problem with my files? And can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my video files to play more predictably on the android platform?

I am writing an application to play the you tube videos using streaming. First method: I am getting the RTSP URL to the video using GData APIs. Here is the code to play the RTSP url. VideoView mVideoView = new VideoView(this); setContentView(mVideoView); mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("rtsp://rtsp2.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQkDwpjrUxOWQBMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp")); mVideoView.start(); But it throws error on both G1 device and emulator (Emulator has some firewall problem as per mailing list) Here is the error message ERROR/PlayerDriver(35): Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info PVMFFailure, Second method: A hack way to get the path of 3gp file from http://www.youtube.com/get_video?v=<VideoID>&t=<>&<>.. After getting the file path and I can call setVideoURI and it plays fine. But it is a hack way to achieve the requirement. I have checked the Youtube App also, it also does the hack way to play the you tube url.(Checked with logcat). I have tried changing from VideoView to Media Player but no change in the error. Is there a "Clean" way to do this?

I switched to a Droid X yesterday (and am loving it) from the original Motorola Droid with QWERTY. My original Droid had the 2.2 Froyo update with the Flash 10.1 and I could watch all the movies on Iphonemovies.net on it. I got my Droid X and the Froyo update was available with the flash player which I installed but now when I go to Iphonemovies.net it is telling me "Sorry, this video is not valid for streaming to this device." Anyone else come across this? Is this a format thing that needs to be set/changed on the actual Droid X device or is it a problem on the website end where the Droid is so new it's not recognizing it. And yes, I have Flashplayer on it now.

I'm trying to create .mp4 video clips that when you click on the link in a browser (I have an Evo 4G) the clip will buffer and stream in the HTC Streaming Media Player. So far I only get this error message when the streaming media player launches: "Warning - Video is not for streaming play. Would you like to download the file." All my clips play great when downloaded to the SD card and they all stream flawlessly on the iPhone. Not sure if this problem is HTC specific or all Android phones. Has anyone created .mp4 clips that can be streamed from a website? What software and settings are you using? I'm using Handbrake which obviously isn't working.

I'm developing an Android application and I would really like to deploy it for the iPhone as well. However, I do not know Objective-C and I think it would take an annoyingly long time to figure that and the Apple framework out. Is there a recommended way to port an Android application to iOS? Would the best bet be to hire a freelancer?

Most of the time I write code for embedded modules or small programs on my computer to analyze data that said code generates.Now I've been asked to prototype a mobile application to analyze/display that data instead.I have no (6-year old CS101) experience with either of the popular languages (Obj-C/Java?), let alone with any of the APIs/libraries available on the 4-5 popular mobile OSs, so I'm more or less at square one.Adapting the embedded hardware to talk to a phone is fairly straightforward, just add a Bluetooth module that I can configure to emulate a serial port (using SPP profile), but I don't know where to start on the other side.What sort of mobile OS/device should I target for ease/speed of developing a Bluetooth serial port profile (SPP) application from having equal (no) experience on them all?

I'm a programmer looking to play in the mobile world. The application I'd like to play with would support my musical hobbies. I suspect a mobile phone with a music player could easily be programmed to support a classical musicians practice sessions. Access to media player APIs without the need to open external apps or do clunky things with files.Adequate access to playback API to create specific notes and beat patterns. As a hobby application, this should not require expensive tooling.I can switch to a new phone to use the application. Bonus points for something that easily ports to a netbook.I will admit I new to the world of sexy phones. I currently use an obsolete voice device with text messaging. I won't revealing my current flavor of programming because learning a new platform is just fine.

I have observed that the Smartphones (particularly Android) do not perform as well as the computers when performance is compared on GPRS / EDGE.
I have tested streaming videos on while on GPRS / EDGE (not 3G or 4G) and observed that the smartphone gives up saying connection problem. When I stream the same videos with the same GPRS / EDGE connection through a USB Dongle on a computer(with same SIM Card inserted which was used for testing on Smartphone), the Computer performs better and is able to stream the Videos.
I request the experts to explain why this happens. The SIM and its location are the same and the speed received from it is also the same. Then why does the computer able to play it while the smartphone gives up saying connection problem.
I would like to clarify here that the GPRS / EDGE works alright on surfing websites etc. while the problem is only in streaming. I have tested this on various phones of Samsung / HTC / Motorola so the question of a particular phone having some problem does not arise.

I'm using Note 2 -android 4.1.2. I've come across an unusual problem today. I tried streaming videos and none of the videos are playing on both chrome and the defalt internet app. I always used the default browser video player.
When a video is clicked to play, the usual black screen appears but thereafter it just keeps loading with the circle going round in the middle (attached screen). But nothing happens. I have not installed any other apps since before nor any other mods.
What I have already tried. I have resetted app preference under app manager and stil the same issue
Tried installing MX player and tried to load the streaming video via mxplayer still same issue.

I will try to modify native Camera package in Eclipse. So, I make Camera project in Eclipse and try to compile it. But, "Platform Eclair is a preview and requires application manifests to set minSdkVersion to 'Eclair'" error message is shown. Does it mean minSdkVersion information should be inclused in Camera manifests.xml file as "Eclair"? If there are anyone know this, please share your valuable information.

I finally have hardware working the way I like it at home (stereo inputs), at the office and gym (bluetooth headphones), and in the car (aux input or bluetooth to head unit). Now I'm ready to pay for an ad free music streaming app. The problem is deciding which one to get. I've messed around with the free versions of Pandora, Slacker and TuneWiki as well as FlyCast for streaming FM stations. I'm not crazy about the latter two as I prefer to create a customized "station" that plays exactly the music I'm in the mood for. I've also used Grooveshark on the computer, but I have no idea how good the Android app is without a Lite version to test.
Pandora, Slacker and Grooveshark charge roughly $3/month for ad-free music. I'm curious to know what others think about the various services, or one I have not mentioned. I don't mind paying for a good app, but I can't justify paying for all of them when one should suffice. So what's your preference? A reason besides "It's the best" would be an added bonus.

When I pair my sprint htc hero to my car stereo, it always opens the default music player and starts playing a song. Can I prevent this from happening? I generally want to listen to pandora - and not my mp3's. Most annoying part is that the mp3's play simultaneously with pandora until I manually open that music app and pause the music.
There must be a way to either turn off the default action or to plug another program name into that defautl.
