can anyone tell me why on android our player is not working seamlessly? e.g. the video sort of works after a cumbersome series of clicks that launches a video player.
experience is choky and unprofessional.
it works well on all other platforms - we have jw player using flash and fallback for iOS - we are using WowzaMediaServer-3.5.0
Hi there.
This would appear to be an Android issue as you are reporting that the stream works with other protocols. In the past Android has proven to be a little unstable. What version of Android are you testing on?
Please take a look at this troubleshooting guide:
How to troubleshoot RTSP/RTP playback
You can also test your set up with this RTSP/RTP test stream to see if it works.
Thank you.

this is on latest android testing on in store devices at the mall
why did you put rtsp? this is on demand “vod”
we are using H.264 Baseline via handbrake and RTMP.

For some Android devices you may need to add the following Property
cupertinoOnChunkStartResetCounter
false
Boolean
Into both
LiveStreamPacketizer / Properties
and
HTTPStreamers/Properties
Restart Wowza and this may resolve the issue you are seeing.
which sounds like a maybe
Hi,
RTSP can be used for vod or live, it shouldn’t matter.
I tend to refer folks to the Android core media formats section of the Android developer guide here.
where there are recommendations to use H.264 Baseline Profile codec. Which is basically keeping it simple to ensure playback across more devices.
Salvadore’s rtsp link above is to a test vod video with very simple encoding, should work on most devices.
