Live video streaming using Java

Question

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

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

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

The best video playback encoding library I have ever seen is ffmpeg  It plays everything you throw at it   It is used by MPlayer   It is written in C but I found some Java wrappers    FFMPEG-Java  A Java wrapper around ffmpeg using JNA  jffmpeg  This one integrates to JMF
