rtsp direct link: rtsp://toproadstreaming.com:1935/Android/default.stream

So, you can get it to work in RTMP/Flash. You want it to work in RTSP.

You will have to narrow down the problem.

  1. Try the Wowza Mobile Demo to see your Android RTSP player works.

  2. Setup and test a VOD Application to see that Wowza works through your firewall with RTSP.

  3. That leaves only your live encoding. You’ll have to ensure that your live encoding is supported by your RTSP Player.

Is it MP3? Because Android does not support streaming MP3

That’s MP3, which is not supported in Android.

Richard

That might work, or VLC. Here are guides for each that can help:

…but not sure about 2 pass for a live stream, I don’t see how that is possible

Another option is the Wowza 3 Transcoder

Richard

What type of encoding are you doing?

For best results use:

Video: H.264, Baseline, Level 3.0, Keyframe Interval: 2 sec, Frame Rate: 15fps.

Audio: AAC, 44.1khz, 128kbps

Hi again wlongdonstudio,

The RTSP URI you have in your first post is correct.

Try playing “rtsp://toproadstreaming.com:1935/Android/default.stream” in VLC. Then go Tools->Codec Information, and verify that the codec of your stream is supported by Android/RTSP.

You can do it in the VLC GUI by going to Tools->Convert/Save. But for better quality, you should research how to do two-pass encoding with ffmpeg.
