[FFmpeg-user] Recipe to stream to Android

[Fing Cmo]

Thanks for coming back with the solution.
Can you create a complete tutorial of a working example?
That would help a lot!

Besides your Android app, what other free Android app is known to
easily play an RTSP stream like the example you gave:
rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov

Fing.
