I am able to record and able to upload that video to firebase from my android app but not being able to play or stream(whatever is possible) to videoview. I am actually trying to get in it the recycler view but since it didn't work trying something simpler.
I read many post here in stackoverflow and tried almost all of them but none worked.So posting new question.
My code are as follows:
VideoView video;
//String video_url = "http://file2.video9.in/english/movie/2014/x-men-_days_of_future_past/X-Men-%20Days%20of%20Future%20Past%20Trailer%20-%20[Webmusic.IN].3gp";//this one works if i use it
String video_url = "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/longidcharacters-video.mp4?alt=media&token=xxxxx";
//but this link from firebase does not work, i usually fetch it from online
ProgressDialog pd;
Button playButton;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_show_video);
video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.Videoview1);
playButton=(Button) findViewById(R.id.playButton1);
pd = new ProgressDialog(ShowVideoActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("Buffering video please wait...");
pd.show();
Uri uri = Uri.parse(video_url);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
video.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
//close the progress dialog when buffering is done
pd.dismiss();
}
});
playButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
video.start();
}
});
It says "cannot play this video". The format is mp4(recorded from camera). However, if I play that 3gp one(which is commented now),it works fine.
What can i do? Is there any player I can try? I am just trying to stream or play video that is uploaded to firebase storage.

I used Videoview in my app. Its working fine in all device. But for there is some link, like given one, which doesn't work in Samsung device only.
For other all device even with very low configuration, it's working fine.
Please don't share videoview example etc. Please give a logical answer.
Video Link: Video Link Here
private void play(){
pd = new ProgressDialog(activity);
pd.setMessage(getString(R.string.buffering_video));
pd.show();
Uri uri = Uri.parse(video_url);
videoview.setVideoURI(uri);
videoview.requestFocus();
videoview.start();
videoview.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
//close the progress dialog when buffering is done
pd.dismiss();
}
});
}
I have already seen most of the questions here but none of them helps.
Following is Streaming url it works perfectly on VLC and browser but it can't be played in android app.
Here is my code
public class VideoDemo extends Activity {
private VideoView video;
private MediaController ctlr;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
/* File clip = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"90.mp4");*/
/* if (clip.exists()) {*/
video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
//video.setVideoPath(clip.getAbsolutePath());
video.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://103.50.152.102:9096/LubrizolWebPrj/service/getEnqVideo/90"));
video.requestFocus();
video.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
video.start();
}
});
//}
}
}
MP4 is just a container - the video and audio stream inside it will both be encoded in different formats.
Android natively only supports certain types of formats. There is a list here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
Make sure the video and audio encoding type is supported. Just because it says "mp4" doesn't automatically mean it should be playable.
Though if your format is not supported, Try using YoutubeVideoView
I use following code to play video from a url. It works fine except that It first downloads video and then plays that video
Uri uri = Uri.parse(URL);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
video.start();
But I want to stream the live video instead of downloading it and then play
I have work on YouTube Video streaming and that was without downloading video.
This will only work if you will play YouTube video .
You have to use YouTube API and using that you can easily manage your task.
You have to enable YouTube service and using Developer Key you can access YouTube API.
How to use YouTube API ? You can Find Here Sample code for same.
Out of that sample example i have use
PlayerViewDemoActivity.java & YouTubeFailureRecoveryActivity.java and that XMl view as per the needs.
Play Video
public class PlayerViewDemoActivity extends YouTubeFailureRecoveryActivity
{
String youtube_id = "_UWXqFBF86U";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.playerview_demo);
YouTubePlayerView youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view); // Replace your developer key
youTubeView.initialize(DeveloperKey.DEVELOPER_KEY, this);
}
#Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored)
{
if (!wasRestored)
{
player.cueVideo(youtube_id);
}
}
#Override
protected YouTubePlayer.Provider getYouTubePlayerProvider()
{
return (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
}
}
Hope this will be help you,Let me know if you have any query.
There are some requirements for streaming to work.
The file might not be encoded "correctly"
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
For video content that is streamed over HTTP or RTSP, there are additional requirements:
For 3GPP and MPEG-4 containers, the moov atom must precede any mdat atoms, but must succeed the ftyp atom.
For 3GPP, MPEG-4, and WebM containers, audio and video samples corresponding to the same time offset may be no more than 500 KB apart. To minimize this audio/video drift, consider interleaving audio and video in smaller chunk sizes.
You might be on an older version of Android that doesn't support it
HTTP progressive streaming was only added in 2.2, HTTPS only supported 3.0+, Live streaming is only supported in even later versions.
Use Like this:
Uri uri = Uri.parse(URL); //Declare your url here.
VideoView mVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoview)
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
Another Method:
String LINK = "type_here_the_link";
VideoView mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setAnchorView(videoView);
mc.setMediaPlayer(videoView);
Uri video = Uri.parse(LINK);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mc);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(video);
mVideoView.start();
If you are getting this error Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side Error in Android. and also Refer this.
Hope this will give you some solution.
For showing buffering you have to put progressbar of ProgressDialog ,... here i post progressDialog for buffering ...
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
// Set progressbar message
pDialog.setMessage("Buffering...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
// Show progressbar
pDialog.show();
try {
// Start the MediaController
MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(this);
mediacontroller.setAnchorView(mVideoView);
Uri videoUri = Uri.parse(videoUrl);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mediacontroller);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(videoUri);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
// Close the progress bar and play the video
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
pDialog.dismiss();
mVideoView.start();
}
});
mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
if (pDialog.isShowing()) {
pDialog.dismiss();
}
finish();
}
});
I have this video url rtsp://someserver:port/live/001204A006F5.stream and wanted to play the same from android media player. I have written following code snippet but android is showing a dialog box with the msg "Can't play this video".
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);`
videoPlayer = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoPlayer);
videoPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
videoPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
videoPlayer.setKeepScreenOn(true);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("rtsp://someserver:port/live/001204A006F5.stream");
videoPlayer.setVideoURI(uri);
}
/** This callback will be invoked when the file is ready to play */
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer vp) {
if(videoPlayer.canSeekForward()) videoPlayer.seekTo(videoPlayer.getDuration()/5);
videoPlayer.start();
}
Am I doing something wrong? Or it is not possible to play that link with VideoView?
My code below to streaming video:
VideoView vv = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.screen_video);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(URL);
vv.setVideoURI(uri);
vv.start();
It works.
But if the URL video's format not support by android phone or pad.
It show a dialog, and not show the screen.
But it still streaming with black screen.
I want to get the error message, and access as an exception.
But I don't know how to get it?
Another problem is that the streaming may crash cause by low speed wifi.
How to check it to wait while low speed wifi?
try this code,it work,
public class PlayVideo extends Activity
{
private String videoPath ="url";
private static ProgressDialog progressDialog;
String videourl;
VideoView videoView ;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.play_video);
videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(PlayVideo.this, "", "Buffering video...", true);
progressDialog.setCancelable(true);
PlayVideo();
}
private void PlayVideo()
{
try
{
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(PlayVideo.this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
Uri video = Uri.parse(videoPath );
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener()
{
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp)
{
progressDialog.dismiss();
videoView.start();
}
});
}
catch(Exception e)
{
progressDialog.dismiss();
System.out.println("Video Play Error :"+e.toString());
finish();
}
}
}
It depends on which Android Version you are developing your application on. There are certain devices which do not support running .mp4 file. Go through Android Media support for more information. Check if you can play any .3gp files or not.
You shouldn't play the video instantly. Add OnPrepared listener to the video view and start the video playing after it. With MediaPlayer you could keep track of the buffering state and stop the video for a while when its not yet downloaded. Please have a look at this guide.
Try Intent to avoid that error. or put try catch in your block.
VideoView can only Stream 3gp videos but i recommend this code to stream your video
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
setContentView(R.layout.main);
String videourl = "http://something.com/blah.mp4";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(videourl);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "video/mp4");
startActivity(intent);
}
