使用纯Java的Android直播视频

Question

我试图在android中做一个实时流媒体应用程序，我的问题是使用http和rtsp有什么区别是有任何方法只有java代码才能做到这一点，我推荐这么多项目已经完成使用java与其他语言组合，有没有办法以有效的方式使用java进行流式传输

Answer 1

RTSP means Real Time Streaming Protocol , is a protocol specifically designed for streaming purpose, with RTSP you can control absolute positioning within the media stream, recording and possibly device control etc

• RTSP introduces a number of new methods and has a different protocol identifier.
  • An RTSP server needs to maintain state by default in almost all cases, as opposed to the stateless nature of HTTP.
  • Both an RTSP server and client can issue requests.
  • Data is carried out-of-band by a different protocol.

If you want to use video streaming you have to use RTSP

See this LINK for more details about the protocol RTSP

NB

To show the video content in Android you can use the VideoView

myVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.myview);
myVideoView.setVideoPath("rtsp://SERVER_IP_ADDR:5544/");
myVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));

As described HERE

I would suggest you to go for RTMP (Real time messaging protocol) instead of RTSP, there are number of open source plugins available in the market, like the famous "flowplayer" which is capable of streaming the video as per the industrial standards using the RTMP protocol. It has rapidly developed its capability to stream videos on Apple devices with the existing Flowplayer source plugin. Hope this helps

Flowplaye : flowplayer website We are currently using the Akamai streaming capability coupled with flowplayer plugin for a flawless streaming experience.
