ios - Streaming on demand videos to android devices without RTP/RTSP server - NOT live -

i need able stream or view video on android devices. files @ remote location , stream must on demand. not have "stream" need able allow user watch video somehow.

using html5 <video> element not going since has limited support file types , there subtitles errors , bugs, , current library of videos have converting them not close doable.

after searching internet 2 weeks found 2 ways of doing this: 1. use rtp server 2. parse file location existing player app (mx player / ios player / video player...etc)

using rtp server not possible since fees prohibitely expensive. hard subject search on internet

using internal app hasn't been easy accomplish either, need set intent many other things in app apps 3rd party apps want use.

i stuck , have no clue here. prefer html5 <video> tag not need transcoding, set file's location content client , client deals viewing. of course flash out of picture here.

i found similar want do. if have android phone can check this: http://www.animeboy.tv/mobile/streaming/the-prince-of-tennis/the-prince-of-tennis-episode-178.html clicking link(and waiting 10 seconds) phone asks app wish use open it, specifying player app plays using player. problem how can tell android /ios system that? there nothing on on internet! managed make system ask user select program setting link rtsp protocol (<a href="rtsp://address/movie.mp4">link</a>) says there error playing link (there no rtsp streaming on anyway)

how can tackle problem? there have missed?

i asking here after 2 weeks of searching, keep drawing blanks, don't have experience multimedia handling , handling programming of own out of picture.
