Great tutorial ! However, just wanna know why does it take so long to return back to MainActivity? Is there a quicker way to return back to previous Activity. Tried releasePlayer() but it still take at least 30 seconds before returning.

Is there any way by which I can get a thumbnail of the video so that I can display it my previous activity?

In case you wanna play RTSP streamings across your network and not just VOD:

In method “createPlayer” you MUST add:
options.add(“–rtsp-tcp”);

Hello!
Congratulation for the tutorial!

I have used the vlc library but I have a problem!
I have used it to display GoPro Hero4 live streaming in Android (from udp url). Ok it display the live stream, but it see very bad (there are many squares and strange things….)..
If I open the same udp url stream from windows vlc, it see very well.

Why?

Thank you very much!
Best Regards!!
