[Q] How to create an android app to stream a live streaming 2 my phone without flash? - General Questions and Answers

I am having a app called "Zenga TV AajTak" it used to show a live stremaing of the hindi news channel aajtak..i am having a samsung galaxy fit which does not have flash...but then also the streaming works well...
recently i saw a site "espnstar.com/live/" that streams a cricket channel...when i open it in my mobile's browser it says it requires flash...can i make a app like "Zenga TV AajTak" to watch the stream without flash...
please help..I have never developed a app if you can please develop it...and give me the link...

if you can watch it direct of the web use the Opera browser you dont need flash to stream videos of there browser they convert the video for you so it can be played

It depends how it's streamed. It may be a flash player embedded in the web page that shows the stream, where some sites will just link you directly to a stream so that your dedicated video player can play it instead.
Install Fiddler on your PC and when it's running open the website and watch the video. You should then be able to see in Fiddler's log the URL of the stream that the Flash file plays. You may be able to stream directly from that URL to your phone. If that doesn't work then I'm afraid it's only available through Flash, and quite probably their own Flash player so there would be no way round it.
Alternatively, get in touch with the site admin and ask them how you're supposed to watch the stream when you do no have Flash. They may just give you the stream URL.
If all that fails, try Skyfire browser as that renders the page on the server and then streams it to you so Flash is always available, regardless of your device...

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

[TIP] Stream video to your Galaxy Tab via AndroStream Pro

Dears,
I've been looking for solutions to stream video from my PC to the Galaxy Tab. I'm running out of space on the tab, and can't keep copying stuff. This is quite useful around the house. Thought I'd share.
I came across "AndroStream Pro":
http://www.appbrain.com/app/androstream-pro/fr.mydedibox.androstreampro
You have to install the service on the PC:
http://androstream.mydedibox.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=5
(It basically uses VLC to stream, but doing this is a lot easier than configuring an actual VLC install)
Then install AndroStream on the Tab, and put your PCs IP in the settings.
If you got Allshare app it does the same thing. I don't know if you got TMobile but it comes with that Tab.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab
Personally I think anything that 1) requires server software and 2) transcodes live is a waste of time. Allshare is superior because it uses DLNA to actually stream video in its original format. Sadly its not great either. Until we have cifs or a proper streaming apparently in the market ill stick to not actually watching much of anything (or using orb if I'm not at home).
What're people using as a DLNA/UPnP server to stream _to_ the Tab? I can get it to see media from XBMC but it says everything is in an unsupported format, even if I can copy it to the device and play it directly.

Absolute usless ...
Androstream is not working at all 8and from devressponse I'd like to say not developed anymore ...). VLC Stream and Convert is working and more or less stable - but - what I found also useless - as
When you get ES Explorer and browse directly to your networkshare you simply can play everything with the build in videoplayer ... even if it tells you that the format is not supported ...

I use Mezzo or just windows Media player.

I have all share but I don't have the slightest idea how to use it to stream videos from my pc to my tab..
Maybe you can enlighten me?
I've found that getting the CIFS module loaded is pretty straight forward via this thread, then you can just browse to your file share with whatever program you like.
I've found that the built-in player will play virtually anything but has buffering issues, RockPlayer and VPlayer buffer properly and play a similar range of formats.
Nothing I've tried coped very well with any of my video test files encoded at 1080p, or with embedded AC3, but I'm not a) surprised or b) worried about this.

[Q] Watch Internet Streams on Omnia?

Hi,
Is it possible to watch internet Streams (like Justin TV) on the Omnia?
I tried to watch the stream directly in the browser (Opera 10, Internet Explorer) , but that does not work
At the site where the video is usually, is nothing.
It would be nice if someone could answer me.
Sorry for my English
I've seen someone who has watched with his IPhone Internet streams, he said that he had a special app for that.
There should be something like this also for the Omnia
No one knows?
Are you talking about using flash within the browser to watch videos? Because that can be done on the Omnia. You can use Coreplayer to watch streams though, and TCPMP I think can also stream with right plugins.
Well.. when I open the site with my PC and click with the right mouse button on the stream stands there, that this is an Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin.
And yes, it is in the browser.
I already have a stream player on the Omnia, it's from Samsung and will open For example when I click a video on Youtube.
The only problem is that I can not identify the direct URL of the stream, so i cant enter it in the Player...

Streaming audio and browsing at same time

So my last cell phone was the HTC shadow from Tmobile. It was windows based and could do everything this phone can albeit with older hardware tech, yet I could play a youtube video or some streaming audio from a website then go back to the browser and start surfing the web and reading other sites, while the audio played in the background.
The G2x is my first android device and not only does the battery life suck, but now I find that I can't even multitask! I've searched if the G2x or any android device could stream music/audio and browse at the same time and found no adequate answer. The only one that gave me hope was to hold down the home key and you'd get the last 6 apps you've used, but this still it does not work, and the music/audio cuts off the moment I want to browse in another window.
Is there anyway to listen to an audio on one window, open another and surf the net, while the audio is still playing in the other window?
I don't know exactly which applications you're using, but this works fine for me with Pandora -- keeps right on playing while I browse.
I think he is trying to browse and use sound from a youtube video at the same time. I have never needed to do this. If you get an app like Pandora and Grooveshark you can stream music and do whatever you want at the same time.
Sounds like he is trying to stream audio from a website via the web browser. the web browser needs to be on screen with the screen on and unlocked for sound to stream.
however if you use an app like pandora or soundcloud you can let it run in the background
Yeah, I tried playing a Flash-based stream in the browser; the OP is right, as soon as I switched to a different window within the browser or switched to a different app, Flash stopped streaming. Same thing with YouTube. I don't know why. The hardware and OS are certainly capable of it, as shown by Pandora, etc.
Try SkyFire.
Back to the days I was using Nexus One 2.2. I was only able to play BBC iplayer with Flash background was SkyFire. When you get video prompt when you're about to play flash-based player, let SkyFire runs on its own way. In which you can play it in the background.

I've. Tried it on dolphin, skyfire, stock and other free browers and each time I play a video on YouTube or an audio mp3 stream from a particular site then try and open another window to browse the audio cuts of. Only when I make that window active will the audio video begin to stream again. This feature should be standard, since all windows mobile smart phones can do this, no problem.

Issue streaming from browser

Hi community !
I'm refering to the huge community here because I have an issue with my TF700 when I'm trying to watch streaming videos on dpstream.net
We I have received my tab, I've directly installed the adobe flash player for ICS package.
I'm used to Chrome, so I installed it. When I was going to dpstream.net, I was able to watch movies without any problem.
Then suddenly (or not suddenly but I can't figure what was the trigger) I wasn't able to watch streaming movies anymore. BUT, when using the stock browser (so not chrome anymore), it was still working.
The problem is that, since yesterday, nothing is working ! Neither Chrome nor the stock browser.
What am I supposed to do ?
For your information,
- I'm able to watch Youtube from the browser (so not using Youtube App).
- I'm able to watch movies on dpstream from my laptop (so not an issue with my account there)
- When I'm clicking on Flash Player Settings (on my TF700 / Applications), it opens a browser but empty (no settings available).
Does someone has a suggestion to solve this issue ?
Thanks in advance !
What format is the video streaming in? If it's divix or avi then I don't know if those can be played through a browser. When I've tried streaming those formats I get a unsupported format icon. I can play flash video streams using stock or boatbrowser. I don't know about chrome as I don't use it. I think chrome does not support adobe flash player so it wouldn't work. You can also try setting the browser to load as a desktop and not a mobile site.
