Video streaming using RTSP: Android

I'm trying to install a Wowza server on my Linux machine to enable the RTSP streaming for my Android application.

On Android client side what sort of changes do I need to make in my application? I'm using Videoview to simply play a video file stored locally.

Now I want to get the video content get streamed through the server that I've installed. If necessary I can move to any other streaming server as right now I'm doing a research on streaming servers.

Solution

For rtsp streaming you can also try following servers:

Darwin Streaming Server - linux package is available
Windows Media Services - can be installed on Windows Server Trial
VLC - standalone application

For testing purposes of your application i would also recommend you to use existing mobile video services like:

You can extract video links from those sites and use them to test your application.

Try to follow Android ApiDemos, you can find video streaming player example at:
