É possível invocar (implantar) HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) no Android (4.x)? https://developer.apple.com/streaming/

Obviamente, dispositivos iOS podem capturar / jogar, e eu sei que o Android pode pelo menos jogar, mas que tal capturar? Eu me pergunto interoperabilidade.

Obrigado.

Criando um fluxo de vídeo HLS com o FFmpeg 12 de maio de 2013

For video conversion I use FFmpeg. Creation of HLS is possible with FFmpeg, but not really well documented. So I had to figure out how to create the video streams. After a lot of research and experimentation I created my FFmpeg HLS reference implementation that is available on Bitbucket.

On iOS the created video plays without problems on new devices. Older iOS devices with a maximum resolution of 480×320 pixels seem to select the best quality stream available, even if they cannot play it. For Android you have to create a MP4 video and before converting it into a MPEG stream. Doing this in a single command creates a choppy stream on Android. Flash playback has still some issues if you change the bitrate. So I still have some work to do.

Sim. O HLS é amplamente usado no Android 4.x.
