title: Android: Any way to reduce media delay/latency on VideoView/MediaPlayer?
body: <p>I'm trying to build an Android application that takes in an RTSP stream and displays the audio/video. I've been using VideoView and still getting a delay between 3 and 10 seconds from real time. I need this delay to be under 3 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>On a PC, I can see the same RTSP stream using VLC with only a 1-2 second delay. How can I replicate this on Android? Even when I use other apps like MoboPlayer/RockPlayer, the delay is still 3 to 10 seconds. (If it matters, I'm connecting to the RTSP stream wirelessly on both PC and Android)</p>
  
  <p>I've started looking into using FFmpeg for Android as well as the Gstreamer SDK for Android as alternatives to MediaPlayer, but they're both hard to work with for a novice like myself and I'm running into multiple problems.</p>
  
  <p>Any and all information would be greatly appreciated!</p>
