Live Streaming on Windows Phone - Lumia 920

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi,

Im having trouble streaming a live broadcast to Lumia 920 (a Windows Phone).

  • Does Window’s phone support RTSP as Android ones? If not, what protocol may I use?

  • I know I could use Smooth Streaming if the cell phone has Silverlight installed, but I wan’t something that doesn’t need any extra plugins/software in order to work (as I do with Android).

    Thanks!

Hello,

Unfortunately there’s not a lot. There’s no native rtsp support on the phone.

There might be a third-party player in the online store.

Other than that your best chance is to build your own specific player application using Silverlight and this framework.

And of course that uses Smooth Streaming.

Use player framework as Daren mentioned. It works fine.

There is sample xaml:

<playerFramework:MediaPlayer Source="{Binding StreamingUrl}">

playerFramework:MediaPlayer.Plugins

<adaptive:AdaptivePlugin />

</playerFramework:MediaPlayer.Plugins>

</playerFramework:MediaPlayer>
