Hi

What’s the mobile device streams encoded codec?

Wowza accepts these codec types as inbound streams :

Compatible Live Encoding

RTMP Video: H.264, VP6, Sorenson Spark®, Screen Shared codec

Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3, Speex, NellyMoser ASAO

RTSP/RTPVideo: H.264

Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3, Speex

MPEG-TSVideo: H.264

Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3

ICY (SHOUTcast/icecast) Audio: AAC, AAC-LC, HE-AAC (aacPlus), MP3

I’m not sure if you can do a Video chat application but if the live application is published in one of the above codec types It could be possible.

This will be a lot of work on the android device encoding a audio/video stream and playing a audio/video stream at the same time with chat on top…

Hi,

Hello any other option for to communicate with wowza server with android and ios. ??

Hi,

How to publish stream from IOS without using any other application like “Livu”.

do you have any code sample to publish stream from IOS and android. i have trying from one month But not get any success.

so please guide me how to achieve this.

  • any type of setting from wowza (server side).

  • any special class and library for publish stream from both.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

For streaming from iOS to Wowza there is Livu

And I think there is something like that for Android, but have lost track of that at the moment.

It won’t help with streaming in either direction, but you can communicate with Wowza from iOS or Android device with HTTPProvider

You can play RTSP streams in Android but Android only supports H.264/AAC using RTSP. Flash can send in H.264, but not AAC. So you would have to transcode using the Wowza Transcoder.

Or, you could just open the flash chat in your Android browser.

There is not a RPC method built into RTSP or Cupertino streaming as there is with RTMP. You would have to make a custom player for iOS and Android to accomplish this.

Hi

Yes, you can play a stream on a Apple iOS device, android and web-players when its been transcoded with the Wowza transcoder.
