how to stream through mms://

Question

There are some posts about this, but so far, i haven\'t seen any good answer. Is there a way i can stream audio from mms:// uris with Android?. MediaPlayer seems not to like

Answer 1

1. Download Android NDK
2. Then download modified libmms and libffmpeg at http://radiotime.com/apps/android.aspx
3. basically you has to have 2 threads:
   • 1st thread for downloading the audio data from mms station then write to a wma file
   • 2nd thread decode this wma to PCM data using the libffmpeg.

Answer 2

To save some time you can use the following library for playing mms streams: FFMpegMediaPlayer.

It has the same interface as the android MediaPlayer so its easy to work with and it comes with optional prebuilt binaries too.

I use it in my own mms streaming application and I haven't had any problems.
