Android VLC can't play mms:// stream media

[ReadyXuMin]

I try to play mms stream media on my android phone. I compiled android vlc. I run this code:

Code: Select all

intent = new Intent(this, VideoPlayerActivity.class); intent.putExtra("filePath", "mms://192.168.2.11/cnn"); startActivity(intent);

It doesn't work! I get these debug information from logcat. Anybody know how to deal with it?

Are you sure you can open this mms with normal VLC?

Are you sure you can open this mms with normal VLC?

I'm sure this mms URL is available in my network. This mms URL can be opened with VLC in windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04, wireless network.

this is the new fork vlc for android: vlc-ports/android.git.

But how to fix it, I have no idea.

mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/evnet/Vista_Diagnostics_s_ch9.wmv works for me on ICS.

Can you try vlc 2.0 Nightly Build of VLC on your desktop and make the stream available on the net?

[funman]

Please check with wireshark, I believe the first MMS packet lacks the player info because conversion to UTF-16 fails.

Note it only affects tcp/udp streams, not http ones

Can you give me more details? It's same wireless network. I can use normal vlc 1.0 or 2.0 on my pc Ubuntu or Windows to play the same mms URL. But it doesn't work on my android phone with vlc for android.
