I trying to play a MPEG4 file using Android VideoView(Media Player). But it gives out the following error. Here is the logs.
VERBOSE/MediaPlayerService(64): setDataSource(), player type = 4
DEBUG/MediaPlayerService(64): setDataSource(), player type = **STAGEFRIGHT_PLAYER**

From the forums I figured out that if the MPEG4 video is DRM protected it cant be played in Android.
How find whether a media is DRM protected?
Is there is way I can remove the DRM protection before playing the media with videoview?
The best way to stream video in android? The same MPEG4 video streams prefectly in iPhone but in android it doesnt? can anyone explain this please.
Thanks in advance.
