How to get a video stream from an RTMP server to A

Question

I want to implement streaming from an RTMP server. For example, below is the link of an RTMP server.

http://usher.justin.tv/find/CHANNELNAME.json?type=any

And want to do streaming of it.

I found one way: It is connected to a SWF file on a Twitch server (it is too slow) ... How do I convert it to VideoView from rtmp:// to avoid using the Twitch API?

Answer after request:

I found the best way for getting a stream on a PC: Watch twitch.tv/justin.tv/own3d.tv streams in VLC.

It uses this PHP code: http://bog.no-ip.biz/sc2/stream2vlc.php

But I don't have any idea on how to implement it in an Android project.

Answer 1

You can use the Adobe AIR SDK that can run on Android. It is very simple and can work with RTMP by default.

Answer 2

As WebView supports RTSP, perhaps you can convert the stream from RTMP to RTSP on the fly.

I didn't try this, but a websearch gave me this for example: RTMP To RTSP re-stream using wowza and xuggler.
