Java RTSP client/server library

Question

Hi.

Is anyone aware about good RTSP client/server Java library?

Search on Google reveals JMF, which is very outdated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can try using FMJ. It's a set of libraries that wrap a lot of modern codecs in Java interfaces.

Answer 2

There is no java implementation of RTSP protocol. You must do it yourself using a NIO framework (MINA, GRIZZLY, NETTY...) its a possible solution.

Answer 3

Red5 has some support or is going to have support for RTSP and is Java based.

Answer 4

And, as I think you know already, you can use Xuggler :)

Answer 5

Here is good place to start: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/820888/java-rtsp-client-server-library

Code is break some java and OOP conventions but it's enough to understand how to make your own implementation.

Method DESCRIBE required by most of clients (but marked as recommended in specification of RTSP)

for debugging and testing I use live555 server/client it's C++ opensource application client used in mplayer and vlc AFAIK

Also you can use wireshark to analyze client/server communication.

Answer 6

If you're still interested, Netty provides RTSP support since version 3.2.

Answer 7

you can use vlc(Videolan client) whith vlcj and JNA
