hi all,
i have installed real player in my ppc to view the rtsp video stream. now the link of the stream in on a web page. when i open this web page on my ppc and click on the video stream link.....it automatically opens windows media player(which does not support rtsp video stream).
i want that upon clicking the video stream real player should open and start playing the stream.
is there any solution for this problem. in case this issue has already been addressed before in this forum, can someone point me in the correct direction
TIA

1, welcome to xda-dev
2, always search the Wiki first when you have a question. Your answer is at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...nt (RealAudio and RealVideo) on my Pocket PC?
hello sir.
thnx for the response.
the problem is a bit different from what i think you have perceived.
i'm able to play the streaming video (rtsp) if i put the url "rtsp://xyz" directly in the player itself.(i'm using platform4 player). so that means the network is not the problem.
when i click on the link in web page (that contains the url "rtsp://xyz")....it opens the windows media player(which is obviously unable to open rtsp stream).....
what i want is, on clicking the link, instead of opening windows media player i want it to open platform 4 player..
i hope i'm clear enough.
thanks again
Manmay
ok i'm posting this here because i can't find a section for samsung win mo devices here.
when i play video clips from youtube mobile site on my samsung i780 it by default uses a program called microsoft pocket video player (pvplayer). Problem is it only works via my HSDPA connection not WiFi. This is a problem because I'm on a capped data plan. I can't find any icon for this mysterious player so I can maybe add the WiFi connection as default.
Does anyone know how to change the default player for IE? I have TCPMP installed and have selected the setting to default to .3gp video files (youtube mobile site delivers videos in .3gp format)
I know there are standalone youtube players but I prefer to get it to work via the browser first as I already have the necessary ingredients already on the phone. cheers!

please always read my related articles before posting q's. Your problem is that of RTSP callbacks. That is, you need to use something non-RTSP-based: FLV or H.264. I recommend CorePlayer and Kinoma Play the most.

Greetings,
Does anyone know of a way to stream music from a Windows7 desktop to a SDA flashed to WINMO 6.1 without the use of 3rd party appz?
Thanks!
You can use VLC player to stream your media to PPC, and use VLC's web interface to remotely change track.

Any chance of getting cdn-FastServer streams to work in mx player
They work fine in vlc & yesplayer
When playing a video from a cdn-FastServer on my phone mx player can play it but on the firestick it just eventually comes up with unable to play video
However vlc player (and others such as yes player) can play the stream on the firestick without issue
See below post for logs/error report
Any reason why mx player won't play videos from cdn-FastServer
They play perfectly fine with vlc

Could you please explain the issues in detail? It will be great if you can collect a bug report from MX Player help menu immediately after the issue.
NB: Kindly post the issues in a separate thread. Otherwise, It will be very difficult to track us.

Here are the error logs (in attachment)
If I play a video that is hosted on a cdn-FastServer on my phone in mx player it plays fine but on my firestick the buffer circle just spins and eventually says cannot play this video
However if I open the same video stream in vlc on my firestick it plays fine meaning its not a firestick limitation but a problem with mx player playing these streams on a firestick

It's strange. According to the logs, HW Decoder which is based on the android mediaplayer API implementation in your firmware has failed to play with unknown error. And FFMpeg has returned with 404 (File not found). Both are completely independent. Need to check whether there is something that is intercepting or blocking the connection of MX Player.

Any suggestions because like I said - the video plays fine in other players so it's not my Internet connection or anything on the firestick blocking it
MX player can play all other streams except from cdn-FastServer on the firestick
MX player can play cdn-FastServer streams on my phone
So there's something that mx player does differently on the firestick compared to my phone
The firestick is android 5 and my phone is android 7 both using the custom codec
So unless there are missing codecs that are native to android 7 & not 5 or just missing from the firestick I don't know what the difference is

are your Mobile and Firestick on the same network?
can you change the MX Player user agent (Check general Settings) to something like your mobile & check again?
FFmpeg should work as long as you are using the right version for your CPU architecture. If your CPU architecture is different, MX Player itself will show the error.
The logs from FFmpeg was clear that it has received 404. But, we couldn't reproduce it any of our devices. We have even directly tried FFmpeg command line version on desktops. It also works. Even if it's an FFmpeg fault, It will affect only HW+ & SW decoders. HW decoder is independent. As we said earlier, it's just a wrapper of android mediaplayer API implementation on your device. So, MX Player does not have many controls. But, It is also having the issues.
It is the clear indication that there is something that is preventing MX from connecting to the CDN. If it possible, can you use any debugging proxies & check the connection logs of yours firestick? In our tests, it receives 302 (Moved Temporarily along with the new URL) and then it connects to redirected URL properly.
If You clearly receives 404, then there might be some server configuration which might be preventing you from connecting to the server.

Both firestick & phone are on same network
Both have exactly same settings in mx player
Both are arm v7 neon
It doesn't explain why other players can play the cdn link on the firestick but mx player can't
Surely if something was blocking the link it would block it across all players unless it was an app specific block & I have set up no such block of apps either individually or globally
Equally if there was a server configuration block I don't see why they would block mx player connecting & not other players on a firestick especially as it works on a phone
I don't know if this would help but Iv attached the log of vlc whilst playing the stream on the firestick

There are plenty of ways, a server could block a particular device or app.
Have you tried after changing the User Agent on MX Player to something like in your mobile or something generic like MXPlayer/1.9.24 ?
Unlike others, MX Player generates a unique user agent for every device model based on its build properties. If the CDN's redirect conditions block the particular UA string, then it could happen. As it works everywhere except Firestick, it could be a possible reason.

Yes Iv changed it & it made no difference
Apart from the Android version & the build name they both use mozilla 5.0
I changed it to the generic string but it made no difference
Guess I'll just to use vlc for these streams

Not sure if this exactly what you wanted as I can only use apps which I find (no pc)
Iv captured the packets whilst playing the stream in mx player & vlc
You can see that vlc redirects to a different server where as mx player fails to redirect & says file not found

Thanks for your efforts.
In fact, MX has tried the redirected URL. It looks like a server side restriction as we have expected.
If you look at the #1 of MX & VLC get requests, both MX & VLC has sent a GET request for the same URL.
Code:
GET: /storage_movie/1/194057/cdn2_vidcdn_pro/movie/hoaphuong/Thang%206/1.6/Watch%20World%20of%20Dance%20-%20Season%202%20For%20Free%20On%20yesmovies.to.mp4
HOST: cdn.vidnode.net
If you look at the Server Reply, Both has returned with 302 (i.e redirection). But with the different target location
For VLC, the server has returned with a valid video URL which is same as what we are receiving on our mobiles.
Code:
Location: https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/10000000_403505290165887_8647744692890370048_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJybHIiOjIwMDUsInJsYSI6NDA5NiwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJzdmVfaGQifQ%3D%3D&rl=2005&vabr=1337&oh=70cdf02f8b7a517206ca3be7918d6a2e&oe=5B18F57C
But, For MX, the server has returned with a URL which does not exist.
Code:
Location: http://cdn16.micetop.us/cdn2_vidcdn_pro/movie/hoaphuong/Thang 6/1.6/Watch World of Dance - Season 2 For Free On yesmovies.to.mp4
Then both VLC & MX has tried whatever URL it has received. As VLC has received a valid URL, it has played the file. But, MX has received an invalid URL. So, it has failed to play.
Can you provide the actual source of the URLs?
MX Player API allows passing any HTTP headers which are required for the connection. The application which calls MX through intents sends the referer as "https://vidnode.net/". When MX Passes the received referer on the GET request, the server returns with the invalid redirection URL. If there is no referer is passed on the headers, server properly returns the valid URL.
So, there might be some configs on the server which decides the redirection URL based on the Referer. We are not sure whether it's intentional or mistake.
So, it is something that has to be fixed on the app which calls MX Player or on the server end. We can't drop the HTTP referer on the GET requests as it will break the apps that genuinely rely on it.
You can confirm this by directly inputting the URL on the MX Player's network stream option.
Code:
http://cdn.vidnode.net/storage_movie/1/194057/cdn2_vidcdn_pro/movie/hoaphuong/Thang%206/1.6/Watch%20World%20of%20Dance%20-%20Season%202%20For%20Free%20On%20yesmovies.to.mp4
If this works, Kindly contact the app developer of the parent app which is calling the MX.

Yes inputting the stream directly into mx player alows it to work
So the app that calls mx player to play the link is doing something to stop it working
It's odd because on my phone that same app which calls mx player allows it to play fine
Thanks for your help

In fact, the calling app sends the full set of http headers to be used (including the user agent string). As the app has requested, It will be used on http connection despite your custom User Agent settings. You could see a Windows UA on the http logs.
As the invalid redirection URL also a media url, it could be even a conflict on server which is triggered when using the referer. So, we are not sure that whether intentionally done or not.
Btw, Can you specify the name of the app?
It will help us to provide a better support for those who has similar issues.
