I've implemented RTSP on Android MediaPlayer using VLC as rtsp server with this code:
# vlc -vvv /home/marco/Videos/pippo.mp4 --sout #rtp{dst=192.168.100.246,port=6024-6025,sdp=rtsp://192.168.100.243:8080/test.sdp}
and on the Android project:
Uri videoUri = Uri.parse("rtsp://192.168.100.242:8080/test.sdp"); videoView.setVideoURI(videoUri); videoView.start();
This works fine but if I'd like also to play live stream RTP so I copied the sdp file into the sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/test.sdp) and setting vlc:
# vlc -vvv /home/marco/Videos/pippo.mp4 --sout #rtp{dst=192.168.100.249,port=6024-6025}
I tried to play the stream RTP setting the path of the sdp file locally:
Uri videoUri = Uri.parse("/mnt/sdcard/test.sdp");videoView.setVideoURI(videoUri); videoView.start();
But I got an error:
D/MediaPlayer( 9616): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side W/MediaPlayer( 9616): info/warning (1, 26) I/MediaPlayer( 9616): Info (1,26) E/PlayerDriver( 76): Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info PVMFFailure E/MediaPlayer( 9616): error (1, -1)E/MediaPlayer( 9616): Error (1,-1) D/VideoView( 9616): Error: 1,-1
Does anyone know where's the problem? I'm I wrong or it's not possible to play RTP on MediaPlayer? Cheers Giorgio
