• Video won't play with Android's native MediaPlayer, however it plays with Dropbox's video player

  12 novembre 2014, par Nachi

  I’m having trouble playing a certain .3gp file (from a Dropbox link) with Android’s MediaPlayer. However the file magically plays without problems from the Dropbox Android app.

  I’m trying to play it using this :

  Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
  
  intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://www.dropbox.com/s/zpiqwmxka6llavt/SketchyFile.3gp"));
  
  startActivity(intent);

  and my manifest contains

  which gives a "Can’t play this video" error.

  

  Logcat shows :

  I/NuCachedSource2(89): new range: offset= 2245017
  
  I/ChromiumHTTPDataSource(89): connect to https://dl.dropbox.com/0/view/a1crokuhpprsaeo/SketchyFile.3gp @2245017
  
  I/NuCachedSource2(89): ERROR_END_OF_STREAM
  
  E/MediaPlayer(3629): error (1, -2147483648)
  
  E/MediaPlayer(3629): Error (1,-2147483648)
  
  D/VideoView(3629): Error: 1,-2147483648

  If I try to play it from the Dropbox Android app, Dropbox’s video player has no problem playing it.

  

  According to ffmpeg’s ffprobe tool I could verify that the media type is not something exotic to Android.

  Is Dropbox performing some weird transcoding voodoo and is there a way I can make this work in a similar way ?

  EDIT : Here’s some more insight into DropBox’s encoding voodoo.

• iOS FFMpeg video stream plays in fast motion for 1-2 sec

  6 août 2015, par bipin kumar

  I have a video feed app in which FFmpeg library is used to show the video from rtsp server, after buffering a stream the stream plays in fast motion for a short while (1-2 seconds) and then plays at normal speed.

• Android : mp4 file plays when downloaded but when choosing "Video" player gets "Cannot play video"

  14 janvier 2014, par gview

  I've converted the video to an mp4 with ffmpeg using the h264 codec and AAC, and used the baseline profile.

  Videos are 540x360x250kbps

  I then ran qt-faststart on the file to move the atoms into the right order.

  I've stuck the file up on a wiki we use and created a link to it.

  My test phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3.

  When I browse to the page that has links to the mp4's on it, and I click on them, I get a popup window with 2 options : Internet and Video.

  If I download the videos using the "Internet" option, I can play them on the phone without issue.

  I've done other encodings with the main profile as well, and these also play fine. I thought that a powerful phone like the s3 would be able to handle the more advanced compression schemes available in h264, however I've also browsed the Android docs in regards to supported video formats, and it seems to state that only the "baseline" compression profile is supported.

  Regardless, what doesn't work is trying to use the "Video" option which I assume tries to stream the video.

  For the wiki in question, clicking on the link reveals that the content-type and content-length headers are being set :

  Content-Length  6175996
  
  Content-Type    video/mp4;charset=UTF-8

  Clicking on the link with a browser invokes a player (Quicktime in most cases) that can play the mp4's.

  Is there more to having the file HTTP streamable beyond making a link to it ? Why won't my Android 4 play these files ?

  UPDATE :
  I decided to make a quick HTML5 page using the video tag, and the videos do play on both my Galaxy S3 and the latest IOS.
