[java] Live video streaming using Java?

Are there any good libraries for streaming live video using Java? Ideally both ends of the pipe should be written in Java but I am mostly concerned about the video player. What software would you recommend?

UPDATE: It seems that VLC introduces a 1-2 second delay. I need video streaming that is truly live. The record-to-playback delay must be under 300ms.

Hi not an expert in streaming but my understanding is that it is included in th Java Media Framework JMF http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/support-rtsp.html

JMF was abandoned. VLC is more up to date and it reads everything. https://stackoverflow.com/a/5160010

I think vlc beats every other software out there yet, or at least the ones that I know...

You could always check out JMF (Java Media Framework). It is pretty old and abandoned, but it works and I've used it for apps before. Looks like it handles what you're asking for.

You can do this today in Java with the Red5 media server from Flash. If you want to also decode and encode video in Java, you can use the Xuggler project.

Yes if you want to stream live video you can use RTSP protoco this will allow you to create a video file, which can be play while creating, both operation will work simultaneously. RTSP-Client-Server
