i want my android app to stream video. I have a website stored in a web server. The question is: where should i put the video files? Can i put them in my website's root directory, or do i need a Streaming Server too? I hope this question is not out of topic.

Thanks in advance!!

If they are MP4s marked as "safe for streaming" (MOOV atom is before the first MDAT atom, such as via MP4Box -hint), you can host them on any Web server.

  • well, i thought i should only save the video as .mp4 and then i could host them anywhere. It seems a little more complicated than that. So how can i do all that? do you have any useful link? – madcoderz Mar 13 '11 at 14:58
