Hey there, I'm trying to play 3GP-encoded video using the VideoViewDemo example.
It will play local 3GP videos that have been adb push'ed to the device, specifically to: /data/data/[package]/files/dailytest.3gp However, it refuses to play remote 3GP video from an Apache server, specifically with the error message: 08-19 03:36:35.785: INFO/ActivityManager(56): Displayed activity [package]/.VideoActivity: 492 ms 08-19 03:36:50.965: ERROR/MediaPlayer(2000): Error (-1,0) 08-19 03:36:50.965: DEBUG/VideoView(2000): Error: -1,0 In addition, it refuses to play back YouTube 3GP-encoded RTSP video URLs with the same error, sometimes with the following warning attached: 08-19 03:51:19.055: WARN/PlayerDriver(859): PVMFInfoErrorHandlingComplete These same errors occur whether using setVideoPath() or setVideoURI(). The Apache server records that VideoView tries to watch the video: 192.168.254.240 - - [18/Aug/2008:21:36:25 -0600] "HEAD /dump/flv/ dailytest.3gp HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "PVCore/5.02.00.00" 192.168.254.240 - - [18/Aug/2008:21:36:40 -0600] "GET /dump/flv/ dailytest.3gp HTTP/1.0" 200 229635 "-" "PVCore/5.02.00.00" And the HEAD response from the server looks okay: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:57:54 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4 PHP/ 5.2.0-8+etch11 Last-Modified: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:56:49 GMT ETag: "3a4c02f-38103-8ddeba40" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 229635 Content-Type: video/3gpp Is there something I'm missing? In the Release Notes, it mentions that MediaPlayer can't play from memory (InputStream). Does this extend to the online video streams? Is this related to the Release Note that describes that MediaPlayer might Unfortunately, the ability to play audio streams from memory (such as via an InputStream or Reader) will not be possible in Android 1.0. Streaming seems like a big deal--if this is the case are there any recommended workarounds? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
