Arija MobiTV

Introduction:

Mobi TV is an application that enables the TV functionality to a mobile phone. Users can watch different channels of streaming on a mobile phone using this application. This involves streaming of channels through mobile phones.

MobiTV:

ArijaMobiTV is a mobile application which allows us to watch the movies live and/or already saved movies. It supports two protocols:

  • RTSP
  • HTTP
RTSP is used for live streaming and HTTP is used for already saved data streaming. When we run the application, it first shows the available options in a menu. We have provided an option (configuration) to set the URL for RTSP and HTTP also. So that, we can watch the movies from specific channel. After selecting the particular option from the menu, it will display available movies as a list. When we select the movie to play, the application plays it using MMAPI (j2me API - JSR 135)

Server setup:

1. Apache tomcat. (For HTTP).

Put the servlet_name.class in Root/ WEB-INF/classes folder. Configure the web.xml. Run the Tomcat server. Here we need servlets. They can be used for authentication. When the application sends the GET request, then the server sends the available movie channels. Then the user can select particular movie and play it. Put the movies in MobiTVMovies of ROOT of Tomcat file structure (apache-tomcat-4.1.36-LE-jdk14\webapps\ROOT\MobiTVMovies)
