Other data types may be supported as well, depending on the platform
version and the product. They can be queried dynamically by calling Manager.getSupportedContentTypes( null ). The call will
return all supported content types for all protocols, including capture-only
content types. Thus, not all returned types are playable. Likewise
a protocol name string can be used instead of null to get the content
types supported by a specific protocol.
Examples:
Manager.getSupportedContentTypes( "rtsp" ); Manager.getSupportedContentTypes( "capture" );
