I'm trying to create an app to stream video from an ip-camera to android via rtsp. To test this I am attempting to use an rtsp stream from VLC.
The code I am using is:
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
Uri video = Uri.parse("rtsp://192.168.1.10:5544/test.sdp");
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.start();
when this is run I get "Sorry, this video cannot be played". It seems there are many people having this problem but I cannot find a fix.
The logcat file is this:
03-13 13:11:44.577: D/dalvikvm(400): GC_EXPLICIT freed 606K, 12% free 6429K/7239K, paused 3ms+4ms

03-13 13:11:50.867: D/dalvikvm(400): GC_CONCURRENT freed <1K, 4% free 6983K/7239K, paused 4ms+2ms
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem with VideoView but I got it to work with MediaPlayer. Here you have an example https://github.com/commonsguy/vidtry/tree
