Description

I have a live raw H264 stream coming over the network that I would like to display in an Android app. I did the obvious first thing and just tried to feed it to Exoplayer and not surprisingly it gave me the UnrecognizedInputFormatException exception.

Exoplayer obviously has the capability to display H264 since it's inside many mp4 files, I am wondering how someone with intimate knowledge of Exoplayer would go about implementing this.

I don't have control over the server side so I can't run ffmpeg filter on the server or something like that.

Any ideas, suggestions, or references greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
