Hi guys,
First time posting here so excuse me if I've posted in the wrong section. I'm trying to make a surveillance app for Android using VLCs SDK. I'm having a hard time with it and there's almost 0 support. Does anyone have any recommendations for a player SDK besides VLC?
Thanks.
 
ffmpeg is an option.

There are quite a few official examples to look at. e.g. FFmpeg: demuxing_decoding.c

I won't lie, though, the API is quite complex and probably not too different from VLC's. And when something just doesn't work it will piss you off.
 
VXG SDK is good for surveillance - it supports a lot of cameras and you can get really low latency for RTSP streams. And these guys have tech support (they've responded me in hours).
 
Thanks for the advice, guys.
FFmpeg is a bit complicated still.
VXG SDK seems pretty straight forward! I'll keep trying with their trial.
