View 7 RepliesI 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?
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 am sending a MPEG4 video stream in RTP format over RTSP to my android emulator using ffmpeg and ffserver. I use the Android VideoView to play the RTSP stream. I do not see the video. The error in LogCat is pasted below. Is there some specific that I need to do? If I use the Android 2.2 to run the same code, the video plays fine.
I also tried coding video using H263, but that stream does not play in 1.6/2.2 emulator =================================================================================== 07-16 15:50:46.073: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (6) 07-16 15:50:46.273: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (6) 07-16 15:50:46.474: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:46.683: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:46.884: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:47.092: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:47.293: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:47.492: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:47.703: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:47.902: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:48.113: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (73) 07-16 15:50:48.123: DEBUG/PlayerDriver(554): buffering (100) 07-16 15:50:48.162: ERROR/SW_DEC(554): PV SW DECODER is used for MPEG4 07-16 15:50:48.223: INFO/MP(807): onPrepared called 07-16 15:50:48.223: INFO/MP(807): vv start 07-16 15:50:48.252: INFO/mediaDuration3(807): -1 07-16 15:50:48.384: ERROR/PlayerDriver(554): HandleErrorEvent: PVMFErrCorrupt 07-16 15:50:48.652: WARN/PlayerDriver(554): PVMFInfoErrorHandlingComplete 07-16 15:50:48.652: ERROR/MediaPlayer(807): error (1, -10) 07-16 15:50:48.652: ERROR/MediaPlayer(807): Attempt to call getDuration without a valid mediaplayer 07-16 15:50:48.652: ERROR/MediaPlayer(807): error (-38, 0) 07-16 15:50:48.794: ERROR/MediaPlayer(807): Error (1,-10) 07-16 15:50:48.794: DEBUG/VideoView(807): Error: 1,-10 07-16 15:50:48.794: INFO/MP(807): onError called 07-16 15:50:49.063: ERROR/MediaPlayer(807): Error (-38,0) 07-16 15:50:49.072: DEBUG/VideoView(807): Error: -38,0 07-16 15:50:49.072: INFO/MP(807): onError called ===================================================================================
I have an app that worked fine on Android 2.1 (Eclair) but is no longer working in 2.2.1 (Froyo). I think this may have to do with the shift from OpenCore to StageFright for video encoding and decoding, but am unsure.
The debug logs show two things I'm not sure about:
Does this mean H.264 baseline is not supported? WARN/QCvdec(59): Parsing Error unsupported profile or level No idea about: ERROR/PVOMXVidDecNode(59): Ln 1373 OMX_EventError nData1 -2147479542 nData2 0

I have been lurking on these forums (daily) since I got my Eris in January. So I finally decided to sign up, so I can post as well.
As my header said, how do I play Mafia Wars with the stock browser?
I can get to the Facebook page just fine, but can't seem to get to the application.
Once by playing around I got Mafia Wars to load, but then it said at the very top "Sign up for Facebook to use Mafia Wars", so I did that and it took me back to the FB homepage.
so what is the deal with the youtube not being able to play video?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI took a video on my Moto Droid, and sent it to my friend on his Eris. He downloaded the file from Gmail and but when goes to play the file, it states that the video is not supported. We have tried converting it to a .mp4 and it will not play either, even with a couple of App's from the Marketplace same result. Yet I thought the droid/Eris both supported .3GP? Works fine on his PC with Quicktime, and the video plays fine on my Droid. Is it because I took it in Hi-Res mode, and the Eris does not support that screen resolution? Or did we screw something up?

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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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)
So i have a ton of divx and h.264 movies on my pc. i want to be able to stream to my droid phone(s) when im away from home. how can i do this?

View 6 Replies View Relatedlooked 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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes 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.
