Trick playing iis smooth streaming (.ism) in android

I'm developing a software which should play videos from Azure Media Service, which are in format .ism. I know that this format isn't supported by standrard Android video player.

What is the most efficient way to trick this?

Videos could be more than 2gb therefore converting on the go is bad decision. Also I have found another (not standard) player but it costs money (also bad variant).

Probably there's some suitable library to play such videos?

Thanks in advance.

  • Actually Google released ExoPlayer with is exactly what you need for playing smooth streaming video. It's still in development but work well.
