title: Play .ts video file on Android?
body: <p>I am pretty new at streaming video, so please bear with me.  :)</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to port an m3u8 stream over from iPhone to Android.  Looking in the m3u8 feed, I found some .ts files.  From what I can tell, .ts files are, themselves, wrappers that contain the video stream (Elementary Stream).  </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to play a .ts file in Android?  (The docs only list 3gp and mp4 as supported formats.)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to extract the Elementary Stream and just process the video feed?  If that is in 3gp or mp4, I should be ok.</p>
  
  <p>Will Stagefright handle .ts?  Is Stagefright even available?  I read that there are/were some problems with it.</p>
  
  <p>(As a further caveat, I am not getting much help from my server guys.  They are pushing for a Flash player solution, including a proprietary player.  They will not provide me with a 3gp or an mp4 feed, but I'm hoping I can find that in the .ts file.)</p>
  
  <p>I'm open to other suggestions.  Thanks for your patience with this newbie.  :)</p>
