I am new to streaming video, so please bear with me. :)
I am trying to stream m3u8 stream from iPhone to Android. Looking at the m3u8 channel, I found some .ts files. From what I can tell, .ts files are themselves wrappers containing a video stream (Elementary Stream).
Is it possible to play the .ts file in Android? (Documents only list 3gp and mp4 as supported formats.)
Is there a way to extract the Elementary stream and just process the video stream? If it is in 3gp or mp4, I should be fine.
Will Stagefright handle .ts? Is Stagefright available? I read that there are / were some problems with him.
(As an additional caveat, I do not get much help from my server guys. They insist on a Flash player, including a proprietary player. They will not provide me with a 3gp or mp4 channel, I hope this can be found in the .ts file .)
I am open to other suggestions. Thank you for your patience with this newbie. :)
