Real-Time video streaming - confused...

[jacky_romano]

Hi All,
I need to implement a j2me application that will take a real-time, continues video stream comming from a server and display it.

From the information I saw so far about MMAPI (jsr-135) on S60_3rd and S60_3rd_FP1 implementations it seems that true streaming is only supported using RTSP protocol.
Is this observation correct ?
As I'm implementing both the server and the client (no interop with external apps is required) are there any other implementation options for me that wouldn't require me to implement an RTSP server ?

Thanks,
Jacky

yes only RTSP is supported (S60 3rd Edition FP1 supports also amr audio streaming over http...)

You could use for example helix as your server

Hi Jacky,
We have developed a video streaming app using J2ME and darwin, if you need help please touch base.In fact we have also got DRM enabled and off line view count for download content.

milindnaik,
The 'video stream' is generated internally by the application. I was hoping to avoid the RTSP/RTP protocol implementation in my server. aperantly this is the only way to go.
Anyway, thanks for the offer,
Jacky
