Video streaming using RTSP: Android

I'm trying to install a Wowza server on my Linux machine to enable the RTSP streaming for my Android application.

On Android client side what sort of changes do I need to make in my application? I'm using Videoview to simply play a video file stored locally.

Now I want to get the video content get streamed through the server that I've installed. If necessary I can move to any other streaming server as right now I'm doing a research on streaming servers.

Can you view an RTSP stream with a browser?

As a rule, browsers do not support RTSP, so the video stream is converted for a browser using an intermediate server.

What browsers support RTSP?

Make IP Camera WebRTC Compatible for IP Camera Users As known, WebRTC is supported by Web Browsers(Safari, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera) natively. If we change the RTSP stream to WebRTC then the RTSP IP Camera can be playable on the Web Browser with WebRTC. So we call it RTSP to WebRTC.

Does Spotify use RTSP?

RTSP was immediately employed for a variety of uses such as live presentation, internet camera sites, online education, and internet radio, and subsequently included by platforms still in use today such as YouTube and Spotify, communications applications like Skype, and media players WMP and VLC.

For rtsp streaming you can also try following servers:

  • Darwin Streaming Server - linux package is available
  • Windows Media Services - can be installed on Windows Server Trial
  • VLC - standalone application

For testing purposes of your application i would also recommend you to use existing mobile video services like:

  • m.youtube.tv
  • m.wp.tv

You can extract video links from those sites and use them to test your application.

Try to follow Android ApiDemos, you can find video streaming player example at:

 ...android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-x\samples\ApiDemos\src\com\example\android\apis\media\MediaPlayerDemo_Video.java
