I am trying to play some video streams from mms and m3u8 inside my Android application. It seems that the MediaPlayer doesn't have support on this and from what I have read on FFMPEG it seems there isn't any easy way with that also. I am using Android 2.1 SDK. Any ideas on what I should in order to make this work? There are some apps there in the store that already do this, but I don't know how.

You may try the Vitamio library, http://vitamio.org

Vitamio is a multimedia framework for all Android devices. Vitamio works like the Android's default MediaPlayer except that it includes much more powerful features. And it's absolutely free !

The following network protocols are supported for audio and video playback:

MMS
RTSP (RTP, SDP)
HTTP progressive streaming
HTTP live streaming (M3U8), for Android 2.1+

  • What about other library? As Vitamio seems to have some bugs with some certain streams and it's not working exactly as wished. – Catalin Sep 06 '11 at 18:05

  • Vitamio seems cannot play live streaming and auto update reading m3u8 file. – Aaron Jan 25 '13 at 02:45
