Raspberry PI​

RPi supports UDP, RTSP, HLS and HTTP stream. Recommended formats as below:

Supported File Type(s) / Container FormatsVideo Format / CodecAudio Codec
MP4H.264, HighProfile up to 4.1AAC
tip

Unicast streaming on the RPi is using the following URL scheme: udp://@:PORT

Android​

The following network protocols are supported for audio and video playback:

  • RTSP (RTP, SDP)
  • HTTP/HTTPS

For video content that is streamed over HTTP or RTSP, there are additional requirements:

  • For 3GPP and MPEG-4 containers, the moov atom must precede any mdat atoms, but must succeed the ftyp atom.
  • For 3GPP, MPEG-4, and WebM containers, audio and video samples corresponding to the same time offset may be no more than 500 KB apart. To minimize this audio/video drift, consider interleaving audio and video in smaller chunk sizes.
