VLC RTSP live stream to Android

For my app I have to stream from a decklink card to an Android app (I must be a live stream, so either HLS or RTSP seems to be good solutions, since my app targets Android 3+). I recompiled VLC with the decklink sdk, and I am able to live stream to another pc over the network (but it works only 60sec with RTSP). Here is what I tried : HTTP Stream : ``` ./vlc -vvv decklink:// --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=56,ab=24,channels=1} :standard{access=http{use-key-frames},mux=ts,dst=:3001/stream.mpeg}' ``` It is working in Android VLC 0.0.11, but only in WiFi, not in 3G. And I am not able to play it in my app with a VideoView. Here is the code I used and the corresponding error messages : ``` String url = "http://134.246.63.169:5554/stream.mpeg"; VideoView videoView = (VideoView) this.findViewById(R.id.videoView); videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(url)); videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); videoView.requestFocus(); videoView.start(); ``` Error messages : ``` 04-08 15:26:46.272: D/MediaPlayer(16349): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side 04-08 15:26:46.272: V/ChromiumHTTPDataSource(7680): connect on behalf of uid 1080867789 04-08 15:26:46.272: I/ChromiumHTTPDataSource(7680): connect to http://134.246.63.169:8554/ @0 04-08 15:26:46.302: I/AwesomePlayer(7680): AwesomePlayer::AwesomePlayer()in 04-08 15:26:46.302: I/AwesomePlayer(7680): AwesomePlayer::AwesomePlayer()aftermClient.connect() 04-08 15:26:46.302: I/AwesomePlayer(7680): setDataSource_l('http://134.246.63.169:5554/') 04-08 15:26:46.302: W/MediaPlayer(16349): info/warning (701, 0) 04-08 15:26:46.302: V/ChromiumHTTPDataSource(7680): connect on behalf of uid 10067 04-08 15:26:46.302: I/ChromiumHTTPDataSource(7680): connect to http://134.246.63.169:5554/ @0 04-08 15:26:46.342: I/ActivityManager(272): Displayed fr.ifremer.testrtsp/.MainActivity: +183ms 04-08 15:26:46.382: I/MediaPlayer(16349): Info (701,0) 04-08 15:27:07.592: E/MediaPlayer(16349): error (1, -2147483648) 04-08 15:27:07.592: E/MediaPlayer(16349): Error (1,-2147483648) ``` - RTSP : I used the encoding options recommended by Google on this page, eg : - video codec : h264 - audio codec : AAC - video bitrate : 56 - audio bitrate : 24 - audio channels : 1 size : 176x144 ``` ./vlc -vvv decklink:// --sout-ffmpeg-strict=-2 --sout '#transcode{width=176,height=144,vcodec=h264,acodec=mp4a,vb=56,ab=24,channels=1} :rtp{dst=134.246.63.169,port-video=5554,port-audio=5556,sdp=rtsp://134.246.63.169:5554/stream.sdp}' ``` I am able to play the stream in VLC desktop, but not in Android (even in the Android VLC version or the default Google video player:/ ). If I don't specify a muxer, I can also play it it QuickTime (if I specify the muxer, either ts or ps, I have no video. If I try another muxer, VLC tells me that I am only allowed to use ts or ps in RTP) If I try with the Google video player, I get these messages in the locat : ``` 04-08 15:32:45.792: D/MediaPlayer(13688): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side 04-08 15:32:45.802: W/MediaPlayer(13688): info/warning (701, 0) 04-08 15:32:45.812: I/MediaPlayer(13688): Info (701,0) 04-08 15:32:45.812: D/MediaPlayer(13688): getMetadata 04-08 15:32:45.812: E/MediaPlayerService(7680): getMetadata failed -38 04-08 15:32:45.852: I/MyHandler(7680): connection request completed with result 0 (Success) 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ARTSPConnection(7680): status: RTSP/1.0 200 OK 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/MyHandler(7680): DESCRIBE completed with result 0 (Success) 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): v=0 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): o=- 15352003113363922923 15352003113363922923 IN IP4 to63-169.ifremer.fr 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): s=Unnamed 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): i=N/A 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): c=IN IP4 134.246.63.169 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): t=0 0 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=tool:vlc 2.0.5 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=recvonly 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=type:broadcast 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=charset:UTF-8 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=control:rtsp://134.246.63.169:5554/stream.sdp 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): m=audio 5556 RTP/AVP 96 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): b=AS:24 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): b=RR:0 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=rtpmap:96 mpeg4-generic/48000 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=fmtp:96 streamtype=5; profile-level-id=15; mode=AAC-hbr; config=118856e500; SizeLength=13; IndexLength=3; IndexDeltaLength=3; Profile=1; 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=control:rtsp://134.246.63.169:5554/stream.sdp/trackID=0 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): m=video 5554 RTP/AVP 96 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): b=AS:56 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): b=RR:0 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=fmtp:96 packetization-mode=1;profile-level-id=64000b;sprop-parameter-sets=Z2QAC6zZQsTv/AC0ALBAAAADAEAAAAyjxQplgA==,aOvssiw=; 04-08 15:32:45.882: I/ASessionDescription(7680): a=control:rtsp://134.246.63.169:5554/stream.sdp/trackID=1 04-08 15:32:45.982: I/ARTSPConnection(7680): status: RTSP/1.0 200 OK 04-08 15:32:45.982: I/MyHandler(7680): SETUP(1) completed with result 0 (Success) 04-08 15:32:45.982: I/MyHandler(7680): server specified timeout of 60 secs. 04-08 15:32:45.992: W/MyHandler(7680): Missing 'source' field in Transport response.

On the Android phone, I can play some rtsp streams I found on the web, for exemple this one : rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov . So it should be possible. If anyone can help... !
