The native Media Player coming with the android SDK doesnt play most of the MPEG4 format video files. Is there an alternate 3rd party media players that I can use? If yes how can i use then? Will it be a jar that I can add to my lib directory or shd redirect the users to Android Market and ask them to install the FREE app ? which is the best approach?

Thanks in advance

  • My question was which media player JAVA CLASS to use that can be integrated into android app for streaming MPEG4 videos. I had issues with the android native MediaPlayer.java. – Akh Jun 07 '11 at 06:05
  • theoretically, you can compile VLC in android NDK. it seems hard to implement, but if you make serious application, this is the best solution – Adem May 03 '12 at 15:06
  • What is for mpeg4 streaming ? To play the streaming, or make streaming from your android device ? We can use MediaPlay to play mp4 files on the internet. – qrtt1 May 09 '12 at 05:08

Vitamio is a library you can use and supports a range of formats. E.g. divx/xvid wmv flv ts rmvb mkv mov m4v avi mp4 3gp

We use the HLS Android player library from Nexstreaming.

It works pretty well in all android devices. For us, it was too complicated to use FFMPEG and impossible to forecast the future/roadmap of the code so, we gave up on that path.
