I really look forwarding to test this. It's an important wrapper for the B4A arsenal of libraries. I will post back test results as soon as I find a moment to test.
Thank you Don!

I have been trying the library but I am unable to watch the stream on the wowza-server. From the logs (and also unfiltered logs) everything seems to be OK. I can connect, authentication takes place and is successful and transmission of data to the server seems to be working: This is output from filtered logs:

Connecting to RTSP server...
rtsp_onSessionConfigured()
ANNOUNCE rtsp://xxx.exwebcast.com:1935/mike/test RTSP/1.0
ANNOUNCE rtsp://xxx.exwebcast.com:1935/mike/test RTSP/1.0
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(0)
rtsp_onSessionStarted()
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(604997)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(559077)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(586060)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(583884)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(540535)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(496027)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(515047)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(500897)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(503200)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(501284)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(494422)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(487272)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(492902)
rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(478485)

Don, do you remember if when the transmission of video-data to the server is taking place, did you also see "rtsp_onBitrateUpdate(xx) in the logs? Does that mean the phone is streaming video to the server?

On the server-side, (using a browser and online video-player) the rtpm-url and the name of the stream is recognized but when clicking on play nothing is displayed and I can only see a waiting-logo as if it is buffering.

I know the server is working - I tried it with wowza's own app, GoCoder, and everything works fine.

I noted there is an option to enable TCP instead of UDP - setTransportMode(RtspClient.TRANSPORT_TCP) - but I will probably need to enable it in the sources and re-wrap your library. I will try that.
(just saw it's already in the wrapper)

Maybe you have other ideas or suggestions to look out for since you have already tried it.

Thanks.

:D
I got it working by changing TransportMode into TCP instead of UDP (setting setTransportMode(1) ). Maybe a firewall issue?
Now let me see if we can fine-tune the stream...
Thank you once again Don. A well-deserved donation will be made shortly!

Not at this time of development as the server-part is not wrapped as yet. But the base is done. I did not found the mood to wrap the server-side till now.
But it should be possible when the server-side is wrapped too i guess.

Hi Don as i promise you have my donation ( 8RU656463X7488011 )
I have a few problem.
When start i listen streaming ( Voice ) but dont see nothing ( this about 2 pc ).
Yesterday we made some tests with Monster ( same code, so same apk ) . With his chosen device works (Nexus 4) with my (I tried it with Samsung Note 3 / Samsumg Tablet / Huawey) no.
Any idea ?
Thank you

This great Library By Don is for streaming ( you can record ...and pc, device, etc can see ). For VideoConference you can use THIS LIBRARY

Hi

i would like to play with your library , but where can i find a streamingserver to test the example you posted ?

Can you share the way you do to test the library , any online free streaming server or any pc software ?
Thanks
