We are trying the Android VLC LIb from the URL.

We won't able to catch exception if play rtsp stream fails.

Just explored bit more, It seems Latest version of Android VLC SDK Wrapper 1.9.8 have support of tracking events.(https://github.com/mrmaffen/vlc-android-sdk)

Code:

try {

        options = new ArrayList<String>();

        options.add("-vvv"); // verbosity
        options.add("--extraintf=logger");
        options.add("--verbose=0");
        options.add("--log-verbose=0");
        options.add("--rtsp-tcp");

        mLibVLC = new LibVLC(options);

        mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(mLibVLC);
        mMediaPlayer.setEventListener(mPlayerListener);

        videoView.setVideoPath(mMediaUrl);
        videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(mMediaUrl));
        videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
        videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new android.media.MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(android.media.MediaPlayer mp) {
                Log.d("TAG", "OnPrepared called");
            }
        });

        videoView.start();
    } catch (Exception e){
        Log.e(TAG, e.toString());
    }
