USBCameraTest3 - How to make video files streamable?

[saki4510t]

Hi,
I'm not sure what actually you want to do and how you do it.
If you try to playback from local storage after capturing and finish saving video images to local storage, I assume you will misunderstand how to use VideoView and use wrong way to initialize, load and start playback.
Because all VideoView, MediaPlayer and MediaCodec decoder can playback regardless the movie file is streamable or not if it is on local storage.
I assume most possible reason is you use wrong path, url and/or you will call VideoView#start just after calling VideoView#setVideoPath etc. without waiting to finish preparing.

FYI, if you really need streamable format, you need to convert it by yourself after saving movie file(s)
using FFMPEG etc.

FYI, it looks like I got the videos to work using ExoMedia, a VideoView-style wrapper for ExoPlayer. Thanks for your response anyway.

Hi,
As I mentioned before, I'm not sure how you try to do it, but as I tested, VideoView can play generated movie files well on all my devices(from Android4.1.2-Android6). Did you try to play video over network?
