Java RTSP get contents

Can I download the contents from an RTSP url in java? Just like we can get contents of an HTTP url as an InputStream...

Thanks Chris

Solution

  • Java uses "protocol handlers" to determine how to retrieve the resource identified by a URL. It's not limited just to the HTTP/HTTPS.

    Apparently the Java Media Framework API can access RTSP resources. I don't know if it installs a protocol handler for RTSP or if it uses some different strategy. Google for Java Media Framework RTSP for all the details.
