CVideoPlayerUtility video streaming fails on 7610?

[k4l4]

Any idea why the video streaming of a .3gp over rtsp stream fails after a call to CVideoPlayerUtility::Prepare() with -39 (KErrAbort)? The program works on a 6600 with an old sw version, as well as on an earlier hw version of a 7610,
but fails on 6600/7610/6630 with latest sw. Video playing from a file works. Also the Forum Nokia video player sample program fails, when ported to use streaming instead of playing from a file.

my code is something like this:

iPlayer->OpenUrlL( KStreamURL, KUseDefaultIap, KMimeType);

and then in MvpuoOpenComplete():

iPlayer->Prepare();

..and then in MvpuoPrepareComplete( TInt aError ), aError == -39

Another thing: why does the documentation mention method OpenAndPlayUrlL(), but the header file lacks such method?

Hi k4l4;

Have you finally succed with your streaming app??

I'm trying to develop an app (first for mjpg and after for RTSP/mp4 ) but I've a problem in MvpuoOpenComplete(): (aError == -5, not supported).

Does 7610 support RTSP directly or have u implemented it?

About OpenAndPlayUrlL(), I've also noticed the same problem .

Yes, exactly the same problem! It means it start to read in audio buffer and aborted. In task spy I can see realaudio task. But don't know any solution yet. Have you managed to resolve it?

Hi,

I am able to develop an app using CVideoPlayerUtility
It works fine. I have tried it on N95,N93,N73 and N93i
Is it workin fine on other devices?

In my case everything was very simple. I have started to test it with MTS my local Russian mobile provider. This network did not support streaming video! Then I tested it with Megafon and this function worked! So conclusion not all mobile operators support streaming video or have streaming video capabilities. 7610 device with standart functions working with streaming video fine.

Hi Ozerki,

Actually speaking it does not depend on the operator, rather it depends indirectly on the operator because it has got to do with the access point. Suppose you use an internet enabled access point then it should work fine.
Hence using WiFi also it should work fine. Please note that WAP only access points cannot be used for this as the WAP gateway will corrupt the video/audio data.

Hi! I do know exactly that this case is depend on operator!!! Some operators do not support streaming video at all!!! It is for 100% percent!!! In this case not any access point or any mirricle would help you if operator does not support streaming video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes correct, some operators block the RTSP ports for all external addresses, even on an open internet access point.

Oh i was not aware of it, i am extremely sorry for the inaccurate information i provided, thanks for the information.

when i try to use OpenUrlL() in 3rd FP1 on emulator, i also got -39!

why?

[k4l4]

Back then we went around RTSP somehow, i dont remember how anymore. As a rule of thumb though, if something doesnt work in _emulator_, you should go ahead and try it in the terminal.
