RussianQuestion
Can Flash Media Server 3.5 serve a video rtsp stream to the Android media player?
Or do we need to use Wowza or red5 to serve an rtsp stream to the Android media player rtsp client?
Are there any other rtsp servers to consider when the video needs to be viewed on Android (without the Adobe Flash app)?
Solution 2
FMS 3.5 does not support rtsp streaming.
OTHER TIPS
Try darwin streaming server. This can stream MPEG-4 and 3GPP.
Note that Videoplayer in Android supports RTSP streaming as per 3GPP PSS Streaming specifications. i.e fileformat is 3GP/MP4 and the supported codecs are MPEG-4 Video, AVC, MPEG4 Audio, AMR, and H263.
One potential drawback with darwin is you need 3rd party tools to do hinting first.There are several free hinting tools. Definitely worth a try.
I could manage to play a RTSP stream in Android 2.3 with HTML5 on default browser, no external app, no flash plugin.
<audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls" autobuffer="autobuffer" loop="loop">
<source src="rtsp://74.115.208.37:1935/live/luxweradio2_8403.stream" type="audio/mpeg" />
</audio>
I explain each part:
-I'm using the default Android browser (also worked in Dolphin)
-The loop="loop" part made the stream actually play continuously, without that I heard like 0.1 seconds of audio each time I clicked play. Is this a hack or what?
-The autoplay="autoplay" part works, it actually auto-plays after some seconds (no feedback like "loading..." though)
-The type="audio/mpeg" for me it seems like Android browser ignores that, I've tried others like video/3GPP (yes, video) and still worked!
-I'm not sure if autobuffer="autobuffer" actually does anythinhg 'cause it isn't part of the HTML5 audio tag definition, but I've seen so many "bad" things that work... I should test some cases with and without, but it's pretty late now here in Argentina :P
WOWZA 3 is able to serve the same stream in RTMP, HTTP and RTSP. I have it running it. It is publish as RTMP and delivered as RTMP, HTTP and RTSP at the same time.

Hope it helps.
My Media Server / library supports streaming to Android or any other compatible RtspClient.
