title: Android - Video streaming over local HTTPS server: SSL certificate rejected
body: <p>I need to stream video over a local HTTPS server (of course to do some background DRM) in Android. The Android media player is then connecting to the local server, 'streaming' the video content to the screen. </p>
  
  <p>It all works fine with a HTTP server but as soon as I enable SSL, the video player stops. </p>
  
  <p>If i connect to the HTTPS server from outside my app using a browser, I get an SSL warning which i can ignore and then the video player starts. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to disable the strict certificate handling for the media player module? I have seen a lot of posts on how to do this using my own HTTP connection, but nothing on how to do this for the media player. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks! </p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: Google for 'intranet certificate' or 'instant certificate' and you will find something that's supposed to work. Will try it out tomorrow and post the answer here. </p>
