[Libav-user] Decoding while receiving via http on Android

[trueskew]

After more reading, it looks like what I'd like is progressive http, so that
I can supply a non-fixed sized data set and have it play before it's all
received.  I should have mentioned that I'm working with mpeg2 / ac3 ts
data, which I'm getting mixed information on whether it's supported as
progressive.

 

So maybe this is an Android issue and not a libavcodec issue, sorry about
that.  Though if anyone has some insights, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

 

Thanks.

I've got ffmpeg hooked into Android working with an OMX plugin, and it works
great with files, I can play with Gallery, or with a simple video player.
But I need to send a live stream to it.  

 

I'm doing so with a small http server, and testing with a file.  That works,
but it doesn't start playing until the entire file transfers, no matter how
big the file is. which means sometimes I get out-of-memory errors.

 

What else do I need to do to get it to render while it's reading data,
instead waiting for all of it?

 

Thanks.
