StreamingVideo

StreamingVideo - Suppose you have a mobile phone that can play 3gp video. Suppose your mobile phone has the http network connection and you subscribe a monthly unlimited data access. But due to your mobile phone's storage and memory, you can't play large size of 3gp movie or video. You should be pleased that you finally find this StreamingVideo application that allows you to play 3gp streaming movie/video on your mobile phone.

How It Works:

This is a continuation of the previous J2MEHTTPVideo application with some improvement and real 3gp video station. If your mobile phone only support HTTP protocol, not RTSP, how can you play with video in a streaming way? One way is to split the long video into many small parts on the http server, and the client (your mobile phone) load first part video (like buffering), after the first part data is loaded into your phone, play it (meanwhile download the second part video), and continues in this way. We assume that the download part can be finished before the play part which require that your mobile phone has a good http data access connection). If download speed is slower than the play speed, what we do? We just play the previous part and wait for the download part finished so we can play the next part. The real challenge is how you maintain the download data and play data such that it can play the video in a smooth streaming way (Ex, minimize the junction delay).
