I have a FTP server setup that holds audio files in one of its directories. I would like to stream the audio from the server and play it on my Android phone instead of downloading it and playing it back that way. Also, is it possible to stream it to the MediaPlayer in Android for playback?
The FTP protocol does not support streaming audio or video.
However, you could set up a streaming server on the same box that will do it for you. I’ve used VLC to stream video and it’s pretty easy to set up. Should work for audio too.
