I need to create an http live streaming client in Android froyo without being dependent on 3rd party applications (e.g Vitamio). I am able to configure and build Bambuser's release of FFmpeg using Android ndk r7. My problem is I don't know how to use it.
I found sample codes here in stackoverflow and other forums where people are able to play .avi/.mp3 files from a url using av_open_input_file(). My question is, is it the same for m3u8 files? Or, do i need to use other functions to be able to work around them? I don't know how to begin.
Note: I am an android developer. My C programming is a little bit weak.
