Stream RTSP from Android to android via wi-fi

[kulkarni_rajiv]

Hello,
I am trying to display rtsp stream on my android phone.
This RTSP stream is created by IPWEBCAM server on another android phone.
I am using libvlc 3.0 that I downloaded from github.
However, I get the "picture too late" messages and the video is not dispalyed.
It displays a static picture of the initial frame that it receives.

W/VLC: [d6b46330/2df4] libvlc video output: picture is too late to be displayed (missing 395 ms)
W/VLC: [d6b46330/2df4] libvlc video output: picture is too late to be displayed (missing 400 ms)

I am trying to paste more log and code, but unable due to character limitations.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Rajiv Kulkarni

To help you, we need messages, to completely understand what your problems is.

From windows command line or linux or macos terminal, launch vlc with options -vv and --logfile=file

• Windows example: vlc.exe -vv --logfile=c:\vlclog.txt
• Linux example: vlc -vv --logfile=vlclog.txt, or vlc -vv 2>&1 > logfile.txt

Then paste the full resulting log here between [​code]and[​/code] (or use Pastebin.com if it's too long)

Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.

Here is the log:

I am working using Android studio on Windows.
I have downloaded the vlclib from github.
so I guess the "vlc" command will not work.

If some can work with me, I can share my screen, so it will be much easier to explain my problem.

Thanks
