In particular, early Android devices have little storage space, and so while iPhone can buffer the MP4 to deal with the unhinted data, Android does not. A properly-hinted MP4 file, such as is generated via MP4Box -hint, will start playback faster on iOS devices, as well as be compatible with current generations of Android devices.

If by "device" you mean "Android device", then no. MP4Box runs on a Windows, OS X, or Linux computer. You use it to fix up an MP4 file, such that it is "safe for streaming". Then, you can upload that video file to your Web server, and Android devices will be able to stream it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: streaming mp4 from Internet
If this video is your video is stored locally on your computer. If its not video, ie you are trying to steam from Youtube or something like that that is streaming this video on the web then you will not be able to do so. You must have admin access to the video for it to be "your video". MP4Box is tool to repair the video file before it reaches your device. You do not run the repair on the device because while Android are robust the battery need to repair small video will consume too large a portion of battery.

Either this is your video, or it is not. If it is your video, on your PC, run MP4Box on the video file, and arrange it so your device can download the repaired file. If this is not your video, you simply cannot play it streaming. You are welcome to download the video and play it locally. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
