I have an Android app which stream video from the Internet. The owners of the app doesn't want to use the native Android video player. What they want is to have any third-party (preferably Open-source) video player to be integrated in this app.
I don't really know what its implications could be.
I came to know that Dolphin
and VLC
, they both are open-source, but what I don't know is, if they provide their SDK for integration into an app or not.
So, I have the following questions -
I've searched a lot for this but didn't get anything.
Other interesting Android alternatives to VLC Media Player are MX Player, Kodi, KMPlayer and GOM Player. VLC Media Player alternatives are mainly Media Players but may also be Audio Players or Internet Radio Services.
VLC for Android is a full port of VLC media player to the Android™ platform. It can play any video and audio files, network streams and DVD ISOs, like the classic version of VLC. VLC features a full music player, a media database, equalizer and filters, and numerous other features.
Most of the users love to play all media files on VLC while working on computer whereas MX player is rated as best solution for android platform. Those who cannot tolerate annoying ads on screen are advised to go ahead with VLC and the second option is to spend on professional version of MX player.
The VLC media player is by far the best android video player that supports all formats. For example, it can even play 360-degree videos, movies, and videos with up to 8K resolution, and videos in compressed file formats.
Do we have some third-party player (their SDK) to be integrated into an app? - You can try our product, NexPlayer SDK, in www.nexstreaming.com It is not an open-source player obviously, but you could get a demo and try to integrate in you app.
Do we have tutorials of how-to implement them? - It's an SDK + sample app and has full documentation about the SDK.
