Android :: Streaming Video Files Endless Buffering
Dec 14, 2009
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.

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();

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?

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.

I 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'm developing an application on Android 2.2. This application have to read some h264 videos using HTTP protocol. To read a video, I'm using following methods :
// INIT PART mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mMediaPlayer.reset();
mMediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnSeekCompleteListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
// SET DATASOURCE mMediaPlayer.reset(); mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
mMediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
In prepareAsync callback : public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaplayer) { mMediaPlayer.start();
}

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 am trying to develop an android application which will be able to record a video and send it in real time to a remote computer. The computer then will play it live. I have managed to establish a connection between the android and the computer, and to record a video on the android phone. My problem is, how will I be able to send this video to the computer? Does anyone have an idea?

Can anybody advice what is the recommended directory to store files generated by your application: audio files, video files or some images.
If the phone contains SD card, it is clear that files should be saved there, but if there is no any external storage. where would you recommend to save to?

For a research project we need to capture video on the HTC magic and transmit this video over a network to other devices, both HTC magic's and desktop pc's (which have their own implementations of the codecs).For the transmission over the network we are using some of our own native libraries, which have all compiled fine and work. These libraries work via the RTP (Real time transfer) protocol. This poses a significant problem because RTP expects detailed information about the contents of each packet (exact timestamp, sampling rate, which part of which frame is in each packet etc.) So we tried the method described at http://www.mattakis.com /blog/kisg/20090708/broadcasting-video-with-an This appears the only way to get the MediaRecorder to send it's data to our native application. So we run a server-socket on the native side, send MediaRecorder output to a FileDescriptor of a javasocket. The native side does receive data. 2 problems however :
1. Like said in the blogpost : header information etc. is not filled in, so if we write the data to file from the native-side, it's not playable.
2. The socket we write to is TCP, so a stream implementation. So there is no clear way to know where each frame begins and ends (because the data comes in continuously). And that's the main problem : we can't package the data in good RTP packets for transmission! Nor can we get good information about the timing etc. So we looked into OpenCore a little bit, hoping to be able to do it through JNI-interfaces ourselves (or maybe even directly with the native implementations from our native code). This has proven a daunting task, because so little documentation can be found on these things. So the question is : Is it possible to get the encoded video (and audio) data with clear frame-separation and good timing-information for RTP transmission? (It is not an option to use anything but RTP, as the research is partly about RTP possibilities)

Is their either a trick or an application that would let a video that is being streamed to loads in the background and allow you to move to another application or back to the browser while the video loads? As soon as I get off screen from the video player, all is lost.
