We are trying to develop an app for Android where you can play a live streaming URL. I tried several approaches using the MediaPlayer and StreamPlayer… but no luck with the URL playing.
I can of cause play a static MP4 or MP3 file using the URL (hosted on a server) but when I try to play a stream URL it doesn’t play or give an error.
Any thoughts?
Mp3 stream works well on Mediaplayer from Android 2.2 and above. If you want to play the Content below 2.2 then its better to use local proxy server implementation. check Npr . Which uses the same approach.
If you want to play wma audio you should convert that into PCM and play it. check aacplayer. In aacplayer project he gets wma content from mms:// stream and plays it . You can edit that to play only wma content. But i haven’t tried playing any wmv videos.
