Hi all,

I have a Wowza setup to stream live video (in H.264 format) and it worked perfectly on the iPhone by simply using a browser to point to

http://:1935/live/stream.sdp/playlist.m3u8

What is the best way to play the same stream on an Android and Blackberry? Do I need to create a web page on the Wowza server and embed a rtsp link and ask Android/Blackerry users to visit the page and click on the link?

Any easier way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

You will need a RTSP link in a web page.

This form:

```auto
rtsp://[wowza-address]:1935/[app-name]/[stream-name]

```

First, be sure you are using Wowza 2.2.4.01 or higher.

Just upgrading if necessary might be enough. Otherwise it is most likely an issue with UDP ports. Follow this guide:

Depending on the Android platform, it may require an external media player that has been registered in the browser as the handler for RTSP.

My Android device (Nexus One) doesn’t understand rtsp:// and tries to convert the URL to [http://www.rtsp.com/](http://www.rtsp.com/)…

?

Hi,

First try to get your application working with the example players included with Wowza, such as: [Wowza]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/clientOSMF/bin-release/LiveOSMFPlayer.html

I tried and just heard white noise, no video.
