I have an Android project where I need to create a client application to receive one-time UDP or RTP video streams and play them. Unfortunately, I can’t get this work to work and to look a lot for a solution!
I am testing Xoom (Android 3.2) and Nexus S (Android 2.3.6) and I know that they can play content when using MX Player (a third-party media player application), but I can’t get my native media player to play the content. I tried using both simple VideoView and MediaPlayer, but both refused with the same error code, and I can not find any useful information.
H.264 video is encoded by aac audio.
In addition, the server is a third-party solution to which I do not have access (other than specifying udp or rtp), but, as I already said, streams can be played when using MX Player.
Here is a part of my media player:
public class Main extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); try { MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(); SurfaceView surface = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.video); player.setDisplay(surface.getHolder()); player.setDataSource(this, Uri.parse("udp://192.168.0.78:1234")); player.prepare(); player.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() { @Override public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) { Log.d("SimpleVideoPlayer", "Starting player"); mp.start(); } }); player.setOnErrorListener(new OnErrorListener() { @Override public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) { Log.d("SimpleVideoPlayer", "error with code: " + what); return false; } }); }catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
The error I am getting is:

I also set permissions for the Internet.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can not find any useful information anywhere.
Thanks.
