is it possible to play video as
progressive download, or by streaming,
simply by using setVideoPath or
setVideoURI, as in VideoViewDemo in
the API samples?
It should. It certainly works with MediaPlayer, and VideoView is just a ~200 line wrapper around MediaPlayer and a SurfaceView.
The VideoViewDemo code suggests using
setVideoURI for streaming, but I’m not
clear what kind of URL I should be
using.
http:// and rtsp:// can work, if the video was encoded properly.
Does someone have an example URL for a
video that can be streamed to the
Android emulator using the
VideoViewDemo code?
This video works with MediaPlayer, except on the Nexus One.
EDIT: Actually, that link works with the Nexus One as well.
