A little bit of hunting around has found this thread<http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg06179.html>in which somebody is trying to use a LocalSocket as a FileDescriptor passed to MediaPlayer. Unfortunately he doesn't get an answer.
Does anybody have any working code example where a LocalSocket could be used to pass data to MediaPlayer? It seems like this would solve my problem as I could pass data from my incoming RTP stream to a localsocket (I think). Do you think this could work? -- "The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution" - Bertrand Russell Andy Savage Cell Phone: +852 936 34341 Skype ID: andy_savage Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/andysavage On Mon, May 24, 2010 at 2:44 PM, Andy Savage <a...@bluewire.net.nz> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I need a little bit of help from some experts out there. > > Currently I am developing an application that will stream video using RTP > and SIP.
