Rtsp streaming using VideoView and MediaPlayer
I want to develop an android app that will play a rtsp link from a local server but the tablet screen is blank .... showing nothing I've tried both classes VideoView
and MediaPlayer
. Work well with rtp youtube channels with .3gp extension, but not working on the above url. Below is my code
public class WifiManagerActivity extends Activity {
private WifiManager customWifiManager;
private VideoView mu;
private String path;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
wifiSettings();
}
private void wifiSettings() {
mu = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.ttl);
TextView notify = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.wifi_state);
customWifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if(customWifiManager.isWifiEnabled()){
Toast.makeText(this, "Your wifi is On now enjoy " +
"live streaming", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
notify.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
showVideo();
}else{
Toast.makeText(this, "Turn your Wifi On", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
customWifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
//two second wait here
showVideo();
}
}
private void showVideo() {
Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuthenticater());
String path = "rtsp://192.168.1.155:554/3g";
mu.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
mu.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mu.requestFocus();
mu.start();
}
}

There are several factors that can affect the correctness of your stream playback:
- check if your stream is valid and playable (using for example a separate VLC instance)
- if that works, check logcat for any errors / warnings related to either the RTSP connection or the video stream. Look for tags like: MediaPlayer, ARTSPConnection, MyHandler, ASessionDescription, ACodec.
This should get you started.
