Server to stream RTSP to android

Question

Can Flash Media Server 3.5 serve a video rtsp stream to the Android media player?

Or do we need to use Wowza or red5 to serve an rtsp stream to the Android media player rtsp client?

Are there any other rtsp servers to consider when the video needs to be viewed on Android (without the Adobe Flash app)?

Answer 1

Try darwin streaming server. This can stream MPEG-4 and 3GPP.

Note that Videoplayer in Android supports RTSP streaming as per 3GPP PSS Streaming specifications. i.e fileformat is 3GP/MP4 and the supported codecs are MPEG-4 Video, AVC, MPEG4 Audio, AMR, and H263.

One potential drawback with darwin is you need 3rd party tools to do hinting first.There are several free hinting tools. Definitely worth a try.
