This is an example project to show how to streaming from android camera to VLC or gstreamer.
This demo project use MediaCodec API to encode H.264 data and simply wrap with UDP packet then send these packets to VLC or gstreamer.
The working flow as below
camera preview data(YV12) -> YUV420sp -> MediaCodec -> H.264 data -> UDP
By using VLC and gstreamer, we can ensure that the H.264 video streaming is working fine. You can use the following command to start a media server.
vlc -vvv udp://@:<port>
gst-launch udpsrc port=<port> ! video/x-h264,width=<w>,height=<h>,framerate=<framerate>/1 ! ffdec_h264 ! autovideosink
- Minimal API requirement: 16
