Amazon Kinesis Video Streams makes it easy to securely stream video from connected devices to AWS for analytics, machine learning (ML), and other processing.
The Amazon Kinesis Video Streams Producer SDK Java makes it easy to build an on-device application that securely connects to a video stream, and reliably publishes video and other media data to Kinesis Video Streams. It takes care of all the underlying tasks required to package the frames and fragments generated by the device's media pipeline. The SDK also handles stream creation, token rotation for secure and uninterrupted streaming, processing acknowledgements returned by Kinesis Video Streams, and other tasks.

- You can find available pre-built KinesisVideoProducerJNI library in src/main/resources/lib/ for Mac (x64), Ubuntu (x64) and Raspian (x86). If pre-built libraries did not work for you, "KinesisVideoProducerJNI" native library need to be built before running Java demo app.
Import the Maven project to your IDE, it will find dependency packages from Maven and build.
Run DemoAppMain.java
in ./src/main/demo
with JVM arguments set to
-Daws.accessKeyId={YourAwsAccessKey} -Daws.secretKey={YourAwsSecretKey} -Djava.library.path={NativeLibraryPath}
for non-temporary AWS credential.
-Daws.accessKeyId={YourAwsAccessKey} -Daws.secretKey={YourAwsSecretKey} -Daws.sessionToken={YourAwsSessionToken} -Djava.library.path={NativeLibraryPath}
for temporary AWS credential.
Note: NativeLibraryPath must contain your "KinesisVideoProducerJNI" library. File name depends on your Operating System:
libKinesisVideoProducerJNI.so
for LinuxlibKinesisVideoProducerJNI.dylib
for Mac OSKinesisVideoProducerJNI.dll
for Windows
If you are using pre-built libraries, please specify the path of library. Take pre-build library for Mac as example, you can specify src/resources/lib/mac
as {NativeLibraryPath}.
Demo app will start running and putting sample video frames in a loop into Kinesis Video Streams. You can change your stream settings in DemoAppMain.java
before you run the app.
If you want to run the DemoAppMain
, follow the steps below.
Change the current working directory to
$ cd /<YOUR_FOLDER_PATH_WHERE_SDK_IS_DOWNLOADED>/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-java/
Compile the Java SDK and Demoapp
$ mvn package
Create a temporary filename in /tmp directory
$ jar_files=$(mktemp)
Create classpath string of dependencies from the local repository to a file
$ mvn -Dmdep.outputFile=$jar_files dependency:build-classpath
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the open source dependencies.
(refer: Kinesis Video Streams Producer SDK CPP
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/<YOUR_FOLDER_PATH_WHERE_SDK_IS_DOWNLOADED>/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp/kinesis-video-native-build/downloads/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ classpath_values=$(cat $jar_files)
Start the demo app
$ java -classpath target/kinesisvideo-java-demo-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:$classpath_values -Daws.accessKeyId=${ACCESS_KEY} -Daws.secretKey=${SECRET_KEY} -Djava.library.path=/opt/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp/kinesis-video-native-build com.amazonaws.kinesisvideo.demoapp.lambda.DemoAppMain
Refer the README.md file in the dockerscripts folder for running the build and demo app within Docker container.
Run PutMediaDemo.java
to send sample mkv stream to Kinesis Video Streams. Note: ACCESS_KEY and SECRET_KEY are required for running this sample application as well. However, this demo application does not require JNI.
-Daws.accessKeyId={YourAwsAccessKey} -Daws.secretKey={YourAwsSecretKey}
for non-temporary AWS credential.
-Daws.accessKeyId={YourAwsAccessKey} -Daws.secretKey={YourAwsSecretKey} -Daws.sessionToken={YourAwsSessionToken}
- Mac OS X (El capitan 10.11 or above)
- Ubuntu (14.04 or above)
- Raspian (9 stretch or above)
For additional examples on using Kinesis Video Streams Java SDK and Kinesis Video Streams Parsing Library refer:
If you notice error in loading the native library (JNI), then check the output of ldd
or otool
$ ldd libKinesisVideoProducerJNI.so
or in MacOS
$ otool -L libKinesisVideoProducerJNI.dylib
This will provide details on missing libraries during linking; If the output shows missing shared libraries, then run the following commands to clean the CMakeCache
and link again.
rm -rf ./kinesis-video-native-build/CMakeCache.txt ./kinesis-video-native-build/CMakeFiles
and run ./install-script
again.
./install-script
Also, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
as below
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/<YOUR_PRODUCER_SDK_CPP_DOWNLOAD>/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp/kinesis-video-native-build/downloads/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
This should resolve native library loading issues.
- Provide pre-built KinesisVideoProducerJNI library for Mac (x64), Ubuntu (x64) and Raspian (x86).
- Remove Lombok dependency on Java Producer SDK.
- Update instruction in README about KinsisVideoProducerJNI build.
- Compatible changes in Java Adapter to work with latest changes in Kinesis Video Streams Producer SDK CPP.
- Remove some unit tests relying on native library to avoid mvn package build (without -skipTests=true) failure.
- Bug fixes and performance enhancement.
- There are some interface changes to be compatible with native library changes.
- Updated JNI code to expose ACKs as callbacks so developer can get more information about how the streaming is going.
- The version of JNI is bumped to 1.2, this will require corresponding "KinesisVideoProducerJNI" with same version.
- First release of the Amazon Kinesis Video Producer SDK Java.
