Hi everyone, I use Wowza Media Server2.1.2 and VLC for live streaming.

I created rtplive application according to LiveVideoStreaming example.

I want to play that live stream on Android 2.2 emulator (API level 8).

So I use next link to specify stream:

rtsp://[wowza-address]/rtplive/streamName.sdp. But, unfortunately I can not play it. I got an error

**WARN server comment - RTPUDPTransport.bind[rtplive/_definst_]: Failure to bind t**

**o address[0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:6972]: java.lang.NullPointerException: address**

Wowza server end emulator are installed on deffrent machines.

Do you have any ideas ?

You need to open all UDP ports.

I have not heard good things about he Android emulator, that it was accurate or reliable. But I have no first hand experience with it.
