Play TCP Video Stream on Android

[Arturo G]

I have a tcp video stream encoded in h264, the stream is sent from a linux machine (a raspberry pi) using netcat (nc) and I can watch the stream on windows using netcat (nc.exe) and mplayer using the following command:

nc.exe 192.168.1.123 5001 | mplayer.exe -fps 30 -demuxer h264es -

Is there a way to open the same stream from kivy on android?

Have you given gst-python a try (Python Gstreamer Library)? I've never dealt with it before but perhaps you could use that to handle the stream and pass the output to the source attribute of a Video/VideoPlayer. Then (assuming you use Buildozer to build your apk) you can add the gst-python module to your spec file.
