Yes, you can access a gzip file randomly by reading the entire thing sequentially once and building an index. See examples/zran.c in the zlib distribution. If you are in control of creating the gzip file, then you can optimize the file for this purpose by building in random access entry points and construct the index … Read more
That’s an interesting question. I’ll try to do my best to give some general pointers. Few things to consider: 1) Web API by default buffers requests so your fear that the memory footprint might be considerable is definitely justified. You can force Web API to work with requests in a streamed mode: public class NoBufferPolicySelector … Read more
2020 update Modern browsers don’t need any special treatment or server-side workarounds to play audio. Simply use an audio tag with a direct link to one or more stream sources (not a playlist): <audio> <source src=”http://relay.publicdomainradio.org/classical.mp3″ type=”audio/mpeg”> </audio> From MDN: The HTML <audio> element is used to embed sound content in documents. It may contain … Read more
node-mongodb-driver (the underlying layer that every mongoDB client uses in nodejs) except the cursor API that others mentioned has a nice stream API (#458). Unfortunately i did not find it documented elsewhere. Update: there are docs. It can be used like this: var stream = collection.find().stream() stream.on(‘error’, function (err) { console.error(err) }) stream.on(‘data’, function (doc) … Read more
Update (as I can’t delete the accepted answer): the proper solution is to implement a custom demuxer, similar to the concat one. There’s currently no other clean way. You have to get your hands dirty and code! Below is an ugly hack. This is a very bad way to do it, just don’t! The solution … Read more
No. Trying to write an Android application that handles this will not be the solution. At least if you want to use A2DP Sink role. The fact is that Android, as you mentioned it, does not implement the API calls to BlueZ (the bluetooth stack Android uses till Jelly Bean 4.1) regarding A2DP sink capabilities. … Read more
I would take things outside of the “aspx” pipeline. In particular, I would write a ran handler (ashx, or mapped via config), that does the minimum work, and simply writes to the response in chunks. The handler would accept input from the query-string/form as normal, locate the object to stream, and stream the data (using … Read more
Using VideoView is a good solution, but we can also use the native player to play RTSP. This is an example: if (movieurl.startsWith(“rtsp://”)) { Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(movieurl)); startActivity(intent); } Bear in mind your media must be created with Android Supported Media Formats (codecs).
You may use fragmented MP4. A fragmented MP4 file is built a follows: moov [moof mdat]+ The moov box then only contains basic information about the tracks (how many, their type , codec initialization and so on) but no information about the samples in the track. The information about sample locations and sample sizes is … Read more
First, let’s unwind your question. As you’ve surmised, RTMP isn’t currently supported by Android. You can use a few side libraries to add support, but these may not be full implementations or have other undesirable side effects and bugs that cause them to fail to meet your needs. The common alternative in this case is … Read more
