Indeed it should (I also hope). I pushed an update yesterday that should handle playing CMP streams this year. I tested them with the main NASA TV and it worked, but couldn't with the actual channels because they aren't live yet.

The streams this year actually are m3u8 (html5) video (take a look at the page source and notice the m3u8 playlists). Since the streams are html5, they can play directly in android's native video player.

Here's the GitHub issue for the topic on Android, and for server-side support, if anybody's interested in seeing what we did.
