I use the following software to stream videos directly from FTP server

  • Android: x-plore File Manager
  • MacOS: Infuse player
  • iOS: Infuse player or FE File Explorer
  • Windows: Mountain Duck

All of this apps allow to connect to FTP server, retreive list of video files (with thumbnails) and play/stream videos from FTP server.

Just use VLC for Android and add your FTP as a source. See : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc&hl=fr&gl=US

If you are looking for an app in android, there is a player for android which will allow streaming from a ftp server. it's called FIPE Video Player. It's free, neat and stream in high quality. Update: another brilliant app (again if you are looking for an app) I recommend is ES File Explore, which also allows streaming from ftp server instead of downloading locally and then playing.

Android's media framework only supports HTTP and RTSP for streaming. You will need to download your file and play it back, or use some alternative URL that offers HTTP or RTSP for the media file.
