I want to receive streaming video from an IP camera using RTSP, I get "Can't play this video" and the following exception:
07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): setDataSource IOException happend : 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: rtsp://192.168.30.108:554 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.content.ContentResolver.openTypedAssetFileDescriptor(ContentResolver.java:1052) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.content.ContentResolver.openAssetFileDescriptor(ContentResolver.java:907) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.content.ContentResolver.openAssetFileDescriptor(ContentResolver.java:834) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:973) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.widget.VideoView.openVideo(VideoView.java:337) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.widget.VideoView.setVideoURI(VideoView.java:247) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.widget.VideoView.setVideoURI(VideoView.java:237) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at com.example.video_rtsp.MainActivity$2.run(MainActivity.java:59) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:733) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:157) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5293) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:515) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1265) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1081) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 07-16 14:06:26.945: D/MediaPlayer(19411): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side 07-16 14:06:26.955: V/MediaPlayer(19411): setVideoSurfaceTexture 07-16 14:06:26.955: V/MediaPlayer-JNI(19411): setAudioStreamType: 3 07-16 14:06:26.955: V/MediaPlayer(19411): MediaPlayer::setAudioStreamType 07-16 14:06:26.955: V/MediaPlayer(19411): setVideoSurfaceTexture 07-16 14:06:26.955: V/MediaPlayer(19411): prepareAsync 07-16 14:06:26.965: D/ProgressBar(19411): setProgressDrawable drawableHeight = 48 07-16 14:06:26.985: D/AbsSeekBar(19411): AbsSeekBar Constructor: misSeebarAnimationAvailable = true
I am using the following method:
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) ((Activity) ctx).findViewById(R.id.videoView); //add controls to a MediaPlayer like play, pause. MediaController mc = new MediaController(ctx); videoView.setMediaController(mc); //Set the path of Video or URI videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("rtsp://192.168.30.108:554")); //Set the focus videoView.requestFocus();
I can’t say that I’m sure this is a problem, but I think because this camera software needs authentication, but if so, I don’t know how to provide authentication.
After using MediaPlayer with setDataSource, I get the following exception:
07-21 12:04:11.677: W/System.err(17714): java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 07-21 12:04:11.677: W/System.err(17714): at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(Native Method)
I'm not sure if this is due to the wrong way to set headers or not:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("rtsp://192.168.30.108:554"); Map<String , String> headres = new HashMap<String, String>(); headres.put("Authorization", "Basic ce0ca0f0864513c28c7be98f0f929be7b1f5db79"); //Also tried it without "Basic" headres.put("encryption", "Default"); headres.put("mac", "9002A9D89200"); headres.put("random", "1715377261"); headres.put("realm", "Login to 90:02:a9:d8:92:00"); mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(), uri, headres);
and these are screenshots of the headers of login processes and json data using firebug:
