Is there any way to stream and play video files from the server?

Does blackberry provide any built-in video player where I can play the streamed video?

+4  A: 

Yes you can. There are two ways to stream video on bb device:

  • using javax.microedition.media.Player from jsr-135
  • using standard Media Application

See How To - Play video within a BlackBerry smartphone application

You can test it over BlackBerry browser on http://m.youtube.com

You will have to use WAP or WiFi protocol for RTSP:
Media application will switch to WAP for streaming media
