# Is there a way to have embedded TV using Android?

Xibo and Android support RTSP streams using the Local Video widget.

Unless the site already has a streaming server, most customers that want a solution using TV invest in a PC with a TV card which runs VLC to publish a RTSP stream in the correct codec/container for Android. In some cases RTSP streams are available from TV providers that can be played on Android.

**Local Video** can be the path to a video stored on the device or the path to a on-line stream.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is important to note that when using Local Video to play an on-line stream, should that stream become unavailable, then the Layout will be prematurely ended and marked as invalid until it next plays.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/kb/resolving-common-issues/is-there-a-way-to-have-embedded-tv-using-android.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
