Decode h264 stream from WiFi video camera for Android

by windranger . Updated 9 years, 9 months ago

I want to decode the streaming captured from a WiFi digital video camera received on Android, on a UDP port (49199).
I know that it is encoded h264, but it seems there are more details needed, but camera maker won’t disclose.
Streaming can be displayed fine using their own software, but that doesn’t help.

VLC cannot play the stream correctly. Although timer is moving, VLC displays just a black screen; there’s also a delay.

I have the streaming array of a packet; each packet starts with 0xFF 0XD8 and so on.
One example of such an array is in the “Stream_packet.txt” file, in this zip file:

Is there any way I could decode the frames… to know the codec algorithm, whatever..?
I also tried with ffmpeg… maybe not well enough, but anyway I’d appreciate some advice.
