Hi Wowza team
Now I am using wowza with flash media encoder to do live streaming and it work pretty well on my website.
However, I am still getting problem when I play live video on android device.
What was happening is I did get the live video on my player, however It seem like it doesn’t work since it play back and forth along couple of second
For example, when I play the stream, the video appear and I notice the playing the time that it play back and forth from 8th second and 9th second.
I heard that the android device do not support encoder type in mp3, is this the reason why I found the problem and how I can figure out.
Thank you
Mark

If you are doing something other than RTSP streaming, try that instead.
If you can make the audio AAC instead of MP3, that might help. I am not sure what the audio encoding limitations of Android devices are at present, but AAC audio is always preferable.
