在Android上打开udp组播视频流

Question

How can I open a udp multicast video stream on android ?

I tried this code:

public class androidActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
    mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);

    Uri video = Uri.parse("udp://224.1.1.1:1234");

    videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
    videoView.setVideoURI(video);
    videoView.start();
}

}

but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Android doesnt support UDP for audio and video playback.

see http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

Answer 2

You can use RTP over UDP. This is with RTSP setup via TCP. I do this with stock android rom, no third party apps required. Stagefright framework.
