I'm trying to use Vitamio to run RTSP video stream, I'm using Vitamio-sample after updating it to run the stream through VideoViewDemo activity:
public class VideoViewDemo extends Activity {
/**
* TODO: Set the path variable to a streaming video URL or a local media file
* path.
*/
private String path = "rtsp://user:password@<stream-ip>:554";
private VideoView mVideoView;
private EditText mEditText;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
if (!LibsChecker.checkVitamioLibs(this))
return;
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
mEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.url);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
if (path == "") {
// Tell the user to provide a media file URL/path.
Toast.makeText(VideoViewDemo.this, "Please edit VideoViewDemo Activity, and set path" + " variable to your media file URL/path", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
} else {
/*
* Alternatively,for streaming media you can use
* mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(URLstring));
*/
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
//mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
// optional need Vitamio 4.0
mediaPlayer.setPlaybackSpeed(1.0f);
}
});
}
}
public void startPlay(View view) {
String url = mEditText.getText().toString();
path = url;
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(url)) {
mVideoView.setVideoPath(url);
}
}
public void openVideo(View View) {
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
}
}
But after running it, it only run for a very little time(which gives me only the first video frame [a fixed photo] ) and then the app crashes and give me app not responding message without printing any error messages in the log:

And later in the log I got the following message:

After scanning a lot of near similar problems, I figured that it's may be because it demands to has ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission, although the log didn't tell me that but as it tells me it's not a qualified user to perform this process which means the user must be given the permission to be qualified for that, So, I added this permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
So, to run an authorized RTSP live stream using Vitamio, you need to register all of the following permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
