I can see Videoview is the most available for video streaming object. Is this true? But the "http" feature referes only for fixed files like mp4's ? Not some other live video/audio protocols? I dont expect something like "mms://" which is still the most common for tv-stations (even if its too old as a protocol), but can videoview support at least one realy live streaming method? (not a fixed file like a mp4).
I have control of the source computer who transmits the signal, so if the videoview can work with some method then it will be great and i will manage to stream my company's video/audio to the android app.
I can see in the documentation that videoview can work with 3gp streaming, but what program can originally stream that way? Even VLC does not include (forgive me if i am wrong) 3gp stream (no H263 codec, just H264 and others).
Can someone suggest me, if finally the videoview can do the job, which program may i use to stream our live picture and audio and receive it in videoview with a single .LoadVideo("http","http://company-ip:8080/stream") method?
At the end, i read all about the vitamio library but i find it too complex, needs something more than android 2.1 devices and depends on some plugin i think as an external download and install. This is not something good for the clients. But anyway, much congratulations to the manufactures of course. As i said i have control of the source, i dont need any generic library if i can do with VideoView.
