vlc android can not play udp streaming

Postby dellwust » 28 Sep 2011 04:31

I have checked out vlc andorid source code(git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-android.git) and compiled on ubuntu without any modification, when i debug it on my samsung gt-i9003 cell phone, i found that it can not play udp streaming. I always seen "ps demux warning: found sync code" and "ps demux warning: garbage at input, trying to resync..." on logcat. The test stream is 3GP format, video coedc is H.263, audio codec is AMR, and streaming it by VLC 1.1.9 on windows. Can anybody help me. thank you!

Thank you! I add "--enable-dvbpsi" in extra/package/android/configure.sh and recompiled, but there is an error:

checking for DVBPSI... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libdvbpsi) were not met:

No package 'libdvbpsi' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DVBPSI_CFLAGS
and DVBPSI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

is there any mistake?

Yes, the configure script does not find your libdvbpsi

add dvbpsi plugin successful, but there many warning like below and see nothing on surface when play MP4(V_Codec MPEG4, A_Codec AAC) streaming through UDP on my device.

W/vlc (24946): [0x2f12bc] packetizer_h264 packetizer warning: waiting for SPS/PPS

W/vlc (24946): [0x2e3bc4] ts demux warning: discontinuity received 0x0 instead of 0xa (pid=68)

W/vlc (24946): [0x2e3bc4] ts demux warning: discontinuity received 0xe instead of 0x8 (pid=69)

W/vlc (24946): [0x2f12bc] packetizer_h264 packetizer warning: waiting for SPS/PPS

in fact, everyting is ok when play the same file on local.

ts demux warning: discontinuity received
this means packet lost

Thank you! But how to optimize the UDP receive?

Are you using multicast? Multicast works very very badly over WiFi. And in any case, you should probably use TS/RTP/UDP rather than raw TS/UDP to deal with packet reordering.

Thank you very much! I have changed multicast to ubicast, and streaming a TS(VCode H.264, ACodec AAC)file, now its playing normally, and i still have two questions:
1. If i streaming a MP4 file(same AV Codec whit TS file mentioned), i can see "packetizer_h264 packetizer warning: waiting for SPS/PPS" and no video displayed, does this means that android VLC can only support TS streaming normally?
2. Its possbile that enable GPU acceleration on android VLC?

I have the same error when handling UDP streaming. Checking in pkg-config folder, I found that there is no libdvbpsi.pc for pkg-config tool. But in lib folder I found libdvbpsi.a. So why is no .pc file for pkg-config tool?

I must add DVBPSI flags & dvbpsi path in configure.sh to has right configuration with libdvbpsi. How to fix this error?

And is there a way to make vlc-android wait for packets with longer time? If it can be done, UDP video will be more smooth.

you can create libdvbpsi.pc manually.

Waiting longer cannot solve anything. In fact, VLC waits infinitely long for UDP packets.

Use RTP if you have reordering problems. Use unicast if multicast has packet loss problems.

Could you tell me how to "add dvbpsi plugin successful"?

I tried to modify configure.sh and rebuild, the setting is:

......
DVBPSI_CFLAGS="$VLC_SOURCEDIR/extras/contrib/hosts/arm-eabi/include/dvbpsi" \
DVBPSI_LIBS="$VLC_SOURCEDIR/extras/contrib/hosts/arm-eabi/lib -ldvbpsi" \
sh $VLC_SOURCEDIR/configure --host=arm-eabi-linux --build=x86_64-unknown-linux $EXTRA_PARAMS \
--enable-static-modules \
--enable-dvbpsi \
......

but LogCat still displays:

12-18 21:05:42.085: D/vlc(19672): [0x4d8d1c] packetizer_mpegvideo packetizer debug: waiting for sequence start

It looks like "ts" is not loaded...

Anything did i missed?
