rtsp

My main dev phone is a Nexus 1 running 2.2. I have successfully been streaming live video to this device from a Wowza server for several weeks now.

I have now taken my application (without modifications) and put it on a Sony Ericsson Xperia running 1.6. The video will not play. I get the following errors:

MediaPlayer: Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side
...
MediaPlayer: info/warning (1/26)
PlayerDriver: Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info PVMFFailure
MediaPlayer: Error:(1,-1)
VideoView: Error: 1,-1

I've been googling around, but just can't seem to get a clear answer. Does anyone know if live streaming just doesn't work on some versions of Android?
