I wana to develop android app that will play rtsp link from local server, but the tablet screen goes blank.... showing nothing
I had tried both VideoView and MediaPlayer classes.
Work well on youtube rtsp links with .3gp extension but not working on the above URL
Below is my code
public class WifiManagerActivity extends Activity {
private WifiManager customWifiManager;
private VideoView mu;
private String path;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
wifiSettings();
}
private void wifiSettings() {
mu = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.ttl);
TextView notify = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.wifi_state);
customWifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if(customWifiManager.isWifiEnabled()){
Toast.makeText(this, "Your wifi is On now enjoy " +
"live streaming", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
notify.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
showVideo();
}else{
Toast.makeText(this, "Turn your Wifi On", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
customWifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
//two second wait here
showVideo();
}
}
private void showVideo() {
Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuthenticater());
String path = "rtsp://192.168.1.155:554/3g";
mu.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
mu.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mu.requestFocus();
mu.start();
}
}
There are multiple factors that can affect whether your stream is playing correctly or not:
check whether your stream is valid and playable (using for example separate instance of VLC)
if that works check logcat for any errors/warnings related to either RTSP connection or video stream itself. Look for tags like: MediaPlayer, ARTSPConnection, MyHandler, ASessionDescription, ACodec.
That should get you started.

My Android app uses the Remote Display API to cast video to the user's Cast-enabled device. Unfortunately, we have to use a proprietary video player, hence why I can't use the normal video API. This is sadly out of my control.
The app waits for the user to select a Display and launch a video. I would say that it works well approximately 50% of the time. Often, audio will cease to play while the video continues. Sometimes (but more rarely) the opposite happens- the Cast screen turns black while audio continues. And there is often audio and video skipping while the video plays, which isn't experienced when just viewing on the device.
I gather playing video over Remote Display isn't ideal, but I'd think audio and video should continue streaming throughout, especially since Remote Display was created for graphic-intensive games in-mind.
Also, the fact that audio stops when the activity is pushed into the background is a bit of a deal-breaker. Are there any plans to change this?
Here are some pieces of code that show how I'm creating the connection and starting video. Maybe I'm doing something dumb that causes it to perform poorly?
This code is called when the user selects a device from the MediaRouteChooserDialog:
#Override
public void onRouteSelected(MediaRouter router, MediaRouter.RouteInfo info) {
selectedDevice = CastDevice.getFromBundle(info.getExtras());
Intent intent = new Intent(mainActivity,
ExampleMainActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
intent.putExtra("cast", true);
PendingIntent notificationPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(mainActivity, 0, intent, 0);
CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.NotificationSettings settings =
new CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.NotificationSettings.Builder()
.setNotificationPendingIntent(notificationPendingIntent).build();
CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.startService(
mainActivity,
ExamplePresentationService.class,
config.getCastId(castButton.getContext()),
selectedDevice,
settings,
new CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.Callbacks() {
#Override
public void onRemoteDisplaySessionStarted(CastRemoteDisplayLocalService service) {
Log.d(TAG, "onServiceStarted");
}
#Override
public void onRemoteDisplaySessionError(Status errorReason) {
Log.d(TAG, "onServiceError: " + errorReason.getStatusCode());
}
}
);
}
My CastRemoteDisplayLocalService creates the CastPresentation in its createPresentation method:
#TargetApi(17)
private void createPresentation(Display display) {
dismissPresentation();
mPresentation = new PresentationPlayer(this, display, castHelper, adManager);
try {
mPresentation.show();
//mMediaPlayer.start();
} catch (WindowManager.InvalidDisplayException ex) {
Log.e(TAG, "Unable to show presentation, display was removed.", ex);
dismissPresentation();
}
}
And when the user selects a video, the following code is executed in CastPresentation:
public void startVideo(VideoData data) {
FrameLayout videoBase = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.cast_video_frame);
videoBase.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
toggleLogoScreen(false);
if (player != null) {
player.stop();
player.close();
player = null;
videoBase.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
player = CvpPlayer.create(PlayerConstants.PlayerType.NEXSTREAM, castHelper.getExampleMainActivity(), videoBase);
player.setPlayerListener(this);
player.initPlayer();
}
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
I want to play a streaming video in android from a website.
For example, I want to play the streaming video from this url: http://florotv.com/canal2.html
Using URL Helper, I have been able to capture the rtmp URL that it's
rtmp://198.144.153.139:443/kuyo<playpath>ver44?id=acf6f5271f8ce567ed6c8737ce85a044&pid=32342e3136362e37332e323139 <swfUrl>http://yukons.net/yplay2.swf <pageUrl>http://yukons.net/embed/37363635373233343334/eeff74c57593ca38defc902fa6d88005/600/400
Now that I have this URL, I wanna know if it's possible to play the video in android.
I have tried this but it doesn't work because I don't know how to set the swfUrl, pageUrl.....
private static final String MOVIE_URL="rtmp://198.144.153.139:443/kuyo";
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse(MOVIE_URL);
intent.setData(data);
startActivity(intent);
Thanks in advance....
Add below code into your Activity.java file.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.videoPlayer);
try {
String link="http://videocloud/video.mp4";
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.myVideoView);
final ProgressBar pbLoading = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.pbVideoLoading);
pbLoading.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
Uri video = Uri.parse(link);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.start();
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
pbLoading.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
});
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
Toast.makeText(this, "Error connecting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
If you don't need MediaController set it to null videoView.setMediaController(null)
I don't think it's enough to just create an intent, you also have to create a context for the video to be played : Like a VideoView object.
The link below has a suggestion for this pattern :
http://androidcodeexamples.blogspot.sg/2011/08/how-to-play-mp4-video-in-android-using.html
Essentially a MediaController object is created with the VideoView object. Then the VideoView is used to start the operation once the URI is set.
Edit :
Probably the main problem though is that your URL contains POST parameters and isn't exactly a unique identifier of a resource (in this case a video file).
The 'swfUrl' and 'pageUrl' parameters are most likely unique to the server that's providing you the page.
You can use Vitamio library for android, where you can set the swfUrl and pageUrl.
Here is a tutorial for it.
public class MyPlayer extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(akki.player.R.layout.main);
boolean flashInstalled = false;
try {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
ApplicationInfo ai = pm.getApplicationInfo("com.adobe.flashplayer", 0);
if (ai != null)
flashInstalled = true;
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
flashInstalled = false;
}
if(flashInstalled){
WebView browser=(WebView) findViewById(akki.player.R.id.webView1);
//
browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
;
browser.getSettings().getPluginsEnabled();
browser.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
browser.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false);
browser.loadUrl("http://sound30.mp3pk.com/indian/dabangg2/[Songs.PK]%2004%20-%20Saanson%20Ne%20-%20Dabangg%202.mp3");
Toast.makeText(this, "Flash Player installed ....", 1).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Install Flash Player First ..", 1).show();
}
}
this is my code to play a song from website. but it says webpage not available.
what is the possible error.?
thanx in advance.
i have a player.html file linking a player to the website as well.
the code is working fine as it asks to install flash player as mentioned in the code but when i launch the application it just not displays the webpage. Instead it says webpage not available.
I think that you should download it and play it with Mediaplayer. I see that you try to use Flash player, but Flash player isnt unsupported:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/06/no-flash-for-android-4-1-no-new-installs-after-august-15/
The main thing is that you putting mp3 file in webview. You can change your link to http://www.musikmaza.com/2012/11/dabangg-2-2012-latest-hindi-mp3-songs.html . After changing link check that page is showing or not.
Either if you want to play mp3 files then you need a downloadManager for downloading mp3 file and then MediaPlayer for playing that file.
I'm a Flash developer by trade, have recently made the jump into Android as the company I work for are moving into apps. I've made a video gallery based on an XML feed, it all works fine until I have to play the movie itself, at which point I get:
Unable to play video. Invalid streaming data.
My gallery items fire up another activity with the .mp4 link as an extra:
public class Video_play extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {
String vLink;
Uri vid;
VideoView vv;
MediaPlayer mp;
SurfaceHolder holder;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);//Hide app title
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
vLink = extras.getString("video");
vid = Uri.parse(vLink);
}
setContentView(R.layout.vidplay_layout);
vv = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vid_fscreen);
Log.i("Video link is: ",vid+"");
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(vv);
vv.setMediaController(mediaController);
vv.setVideoURI(vid);
vv.start();
}
public void onClick(View v) {
}
}
I've been looking all afternoon and I can't find any straightforward advice on what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be absolutely life-saving, thanks in advance.
What version of Android are you testing it on? HTTP progressive streaming for MP4 video was not fully supported until Android 2.2.
For streaming playback on earlier Android versions you can usually work around this by using post-encoding software like MP4Box to add "hint tracks" to the file:
MP4Box -hint <filename>
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/mp4box
I want to play video of mp4 format and size 4-5Mb from server in streaming mode.I am using sdk version 2.3,on emulator it
gives only sound but not any picture.
I also tested it on devices Samsung(android sdk ver 2.1) and LG optimus(android sdk ver 2.2)
and only get "cannot play video:sorry this video is not valid for streaming to this device" message.
I have searched on this but not getting any solution, if anybody have any solution please help me.Thanks in advance.
Here is my code:
public class ShowVideo extends Activity
{
private static ProgressDialog progressDialog;
public String video_url;
private MediaController mediaController;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.videoalbum);
progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(ShowVideo.this, "", "Buffering video...", true);
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
video_url = "http://www.letumobi.com/videouploads/cd0a4170-1fb2-4fba-b17c-b5d70b2cd2e7.mp4";
try {
final VideoView videoView =(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video_viewId);
mediaController = new MediaController(ShowVideo.this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
// Set video link (mp4 format )
Uri video = Uri.parse(video_url);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
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.getMessage());
}
}
You may try these urls (ends with .3gp):
http://daily3gp.com/vids/747.3gp
http://daily3gp/www/vids/juggling_while_on_unicycle.3gp
instead of .mp4 urls:
video_url = "http://www.letumobi.com/videouploads/cd0a4170-1fb2-4fba-b17c-b5d70b2cd2e7.mp4";
On emulator it is difficult to get video played, because it needs really fast computer. Try this link for emulator. Maybe you can get some discrete video view.
http://commonsware.com/misc/test2.3gp
Also in your real devices this link should work if your implementation is proper.
I assume your video using following link
"http://www.letumobi.com/videouploads/cd0a4170-1fb2-4fba-b17c-b5d70b2cd2e7.mp4
is not proper for safe streaming.
You should hint that video or play other hinted videos. I couldn't find any other solution for playing unhinted videos yet.
This link may help.
