I'm building an Android app that works similar to Udacity app.
My requirements
All my videos should only be viewed via the app.
I will be using my own video player inside the app, and I want the
option to choose quality of video (Like in YouTube app)
Offline download option
Considering these requirements, how would I want to host the videos?
I'm familiar with the Android app side of things, but the rest I know nothing.
Did 3 hours of googling before posting this question here, and found out udemy is using AWS and Brightcove.
Can anybody explain the procedure of hosting and encoding videos for my requirements.
Firstly, big organizations like Udemy, Coursera and Udacity design and develop their own video encoding tool to show in the application. Udacity, for instance, has two modes - YouTube and their own player which the user can set based on their preference.
You can't develop your own codec or player in a jiffy, it needs a lot of dedication and more work which one person cannot develop in days.
For your query, you can use ExoPlayer, YouTube Embed, Vimeo Player, related kinds of open source or publically available players.
I am working in iOS and Android app that play 2D Panoramic video player.
We find an Open Source iOS 2D Panorama Video Player app
But we can't find any open source library for android.
Please suggest any open source android 2D video player to achive this.
As your question is 3 months old by now, you probably found it (or something else) yourself.
However, as other people might still be searching for it: gvr-android-sdk is Google's SDK for various VR-usages. Take a look at the simplevideowidget-sample included in the SDK.
There is also an iOS-Version available.
I am building a portfolio site.
I am using the http://player.vimeo.com/video/9999... format for my links.
On an iOS device, these links open up in phone's native player and play nicely.
But on Android, they open a generally pseudo-page, that plays badly. Only when you then click the fullscreen button does it go into the native playing mode.
This is really annoying.
Is there any scripting magic to create a link that will open directly to the fullscreen native player on Android?
According to what I could find the only way to access the info for that would be with a Pro subscription. This answer might be old, but it's all I could find:
Tommy Penner STAFF 2 years ago Sorry, it's not possible to link
directly to the .mp4 file coming from our servers. The only way to
access the 'raw' transcoded files is with a PRO subscription. Link:
vimeo.com/faq/pro
I did google about this question and I found 4 possible ways to do it:
play the video with the following manner:
startActivity(newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(uri)));
Get the RTSP link and play the video with VideoView
play the video using Flash
Using HTML5 iframe
I have an android 4.0 device and I am able to play YouTube videos using the first three methods. My question is: which method is the most adaptable to different version. If the answer is using HTML5, how can I do it. Thank you very much for your time.
The most allround way of doing it to open it with a URI parse. There is also a way of forcing the YouTube app to be called(sorry I think I read it someplace but I do not remember how) and show the video there. This means you do not get the option to chose to open the video in the browser.
The rest of the alternatives are only supported by some devices. (Flash is outdated, HTML5 is not supported on most devices). I you are going to do something else then using the buildt-in YouTube app I would recomend RTSP as the best option.
I have been trying to play video in my android application that I made using phonegap. I had several problems and so I have several questions.
Firstly, does html5 video tag work with phonegap? I couldn't succeed to write the html5 codes.
Secondly, what types of videos are supported by android and phonegap?
Thirdly, I try to play a file whose extension is mp4. There is no scene on the screen but I can hear the voice of the video. What can be the reason?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, the video tag is broken in most if not all versions of Android. Go star these issues:

In order to work around this pain in the #$$ I've written a plugin you can use on Android to play videos.
