Re: RTMPClient on Android

by Raul Raja :: Rate this Message:

I was able to run www.smaxe.com RTMP client inside android and connect to my local Red5 server.
There seem to be some issues when the server invokes a method remotely and the client attempts to execute it.
Getting this exception:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

It looks like android expects that before the method invocation. I sent the info to smaxe's dev and I'm trying to workaround it by implementing com.smaxe.uv.invoker.IMethodInvoker and calling that before the methods get invoked.
So far no success but I though I'd share this.

I have read many topics in the android forums and many people trying to get streaming and real time communication between android and a Red5/FMS server.

It looks like many people were complaining about google dropping support for the IM and GTALK api's in the SDK but a library like Smaxe could actually bring similar support when using a server like Red5

Thanks for the info, I'm going to contact www.smaxe.com to see if their client would run on android

Hi Raul,

I was looking into this a while back myself - I wanted to embed an
RTMP Client into an applet. The Red5 client was too tightly coupled
with a bunch of other libraries, so it wasn't an option for me. There
is a commercial RTMP client that works pretty well from
www.smaxe.com(it's very reasonably priced, I think).

If there are others out there, i'd love to hear about them. If anyone
is going to look into writing one(or porting it from the Red5 code)
and wants some development help, I'd be interested in that as well.
