streaming on 3650 ?

[cowbjt]

Can i palyback real-time vedio on 3650?
The 3650 support H.263 and MPEG-4, so i think it does.

if i could, how could i achieve the goal?
using MMAPI or other ways?

thanks a lot.

You can play supported video from a url using mmapi, but it is not true streaming. The player implementation buffers the entire stream before starting.

"buffers the entire stream "

if my source is webcam and i want to show it on the phone
then i have to implementat it on real streaming.

is any phone can do that ?

thanks a lot.

If you can break up the stream and use a new player for each chunk of the stream, it is possible on some models. I've done this on a 6620, but I don't know if it will work on a 3650. You can read data continuously from a socket while playing. If you have audio, there will be a slight break when you switch players.

I don't know if any Nokia phones support true streaming (I haven't tried the newest OS 8.0 phones). The Sony Ericsson V800 is one device that supports real streaming via RTSP.

Would you tell me which language you use?
I use j2me, and i do not know how to receive the stream by j2me.

ps. The sent stream is created by JMF

I'm using J2ME with a custom protocol to communicate with a server via sockets. You could try implementing your own RTP client on J2ME (there is a lot of sample code floating around). Some people have reported doing that, but have run into the player buffering problem.

Does the server side have to modify the code, if i use a custom protocol on phone?

And would you mind show some links about the sample code ?

thanks

Sorry, I don't have any links off hand, you'll have to do some searching. I'm not using rtp, I have a custom protocol specific to my application, so I can't offer much advice on that.
