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.

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.
