Sounds like a solid opportunity for some middleware.

This is the reason we're investing so much time on VLC for Android. Taking care of all the dirty work and just play your files no matter the device you're using.

VLC is a great model for playing files but getting a raw bit stream from a server and then converting that stream into a frame to play on a surface is a giant pain in the ass IMO.

You should really look at libVLC :)

Adobe AIR supposedly handles media well. These guys offer a library, but licensing seems to be 'call us': https://github.com/yixia/VitamioBundle

Looks like the license states it's unrestricted for individual developer use, which seems reasonable to me.
