According to the release notes, StageFright replaces the OpenCore framework in the GingerBread release. It seems that there have been numerous discussion that says: Apple's HTTP Live streaming is supported by default since Android 2.3.
Even the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#Features mentions this. However, when I try to run the test stream provided by Apple i.e: "http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/ prog_index.m3u8" using the MediaPlayerDemo_Video.java bundled with API Demos I get the following exceptions: setDataSource('http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/ prog_index.m3u8') connect to devimages.apple.com:80/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/ prog_index.m3u8 @0 INFO/NuCachedSource2(34): ERROR_END_OF_STREAM error (1, -2147483648) ERROR/MediaPlayerDemo(667): error: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(Native Method) at com.video.stream.MediaPlayerDemo_Video.playVideo(MediaPlayerDemo_Video.java: 125) at com.video.stream.MediaPlayerDemo_Video.surfaceCreated(MediaPlayerDemo_Video.java: 181) at android.view.SurfaceView.updateWindow(SurfaceView.java:543) at android.view.SurfaceView.dispatchDraw(SurfaceView.java:348) at android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1644) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1373) at android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1644) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1373) at android.view.View.draw(View.java:6883) at android.widget.FrameLayout.draw(FrameLayout.java:357) at android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1646) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1373) at android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1644) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1373) at android.view.View.draw(View.java:6883) at android.widget.FrameLayout.draw(FrameLayout.java:357) at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow $DecorView.draw(PhoneWindow.java:1862) at android.view.ViewRoot.draw(ViewRoot.java:1522) at android.view.ViewRoot.performTraversals(ViewRoot.java:1258) at android.view.ViewRoot.handleMessage(ViewRoot.java:1859) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3647) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:507) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:839) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:597) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) surfaceChanged called Displayed com.video.stream/.MediaPlayerDemo_Video: +1s652ms (total +7s427ms) GC_EXPLICIT freed 2K, 55% free 2514K/5511K, external 716K/1038K, paused 183ms GC_EXPLICIT freed 17K, 52% free 2782K/5767K, external 716K/1038K, paused 87ms GC_EXPLICIT freed 68K, 50% free 2972K/5895K, external 2544K/3109K, paused 104ms request time failed: java.net.SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol ---relevant code(MediaPlayerDemo_Video.java): path = "http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/ prog_index.m3u8"; mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(path); mMediaPlayer.setDisplay(holder); mMediaPlayer.prepare(); mMediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(this); mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); Questions: 1. Does GingerBread build really support Apple's HTTP Live Streaming protocol? 2. What went wrong above?
