resource issues

        mMediaRecorder.setOutputFile(mSender.getFileDescriptor()); 
        mMediaRecorder.prepare();
        mMediaRecorder.start();

With above code lines, throw a IllegalStateException If mSender is a socket, I see it work fine with mMediaRecorder.setOutputFile(local_file). I think it a bug of Google API. Please help me check it.
Thank

This error shows up on the web interface when I click on Disconnect and Connect again.
On the phone: preview video freezes.
Web interface: "An error occured :( SetPreviewDisplay Failed"

Simple workaround is to close and start Spydroid and to click on Connect again.
But it should refresh or simply off preview video after disconnecting or something.

SpyDroid 9.1

The first congratulate and thank you for your fantastic project.

How I can make streaming work when the app is in background?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Hey, yesterday I started developing this app by cloning, it is working on mobile devices but not on Tablet and android box. Please help me out for this

Hi Guys,

I am facing black screen issue, when I changed the screen resolution. It is only working with default resolution only which is given 320240. Can you please suggest a solution . Which things I need to change in terms of Ex. 640480 resolution. I have also changed the bitrate and fps. But couldn't work.

spydroid v10 has worked exactly one time with vlc
since then vlc tells: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://192.168.220.141:8086'.

live555 error: SETUP of'video/H264' failed 500 Internal Server Error
live555 error: Nothing to play for rtsp://192.168.220.141:8086
access_realrtsp warning: only real/helix rtsp servers supported for now
main error: open of `rtsp://192.168.220.141:8086' failed

html streams don#t work either.

Hello
these 3 packages are missing
net.majorkernelpanic.streaming.gl
net.majorkernelpanic.streaming.hw
net.majorkernelpanic.streaming.exceptions

hence I get a lot of warning of missing types.
what's wrong with these?
Do we need them? can you please push them to the master branch?

thanks for providing this awesome software

With this option users would be allowed to select which proctol they prefered, and more media players would got benifits from this.

I expect it to go on.

When I use a VLC to connect to RTSP, the display is normal, but when I use a second VLC to connect, the first one will be stopped. The log is as follows:

Hi

In a recent code snapshot, I've found a following suspicious code in src/net/majorkernelpanic/streaming/video/CodecManager.java

157                                 for (int i = 0; i < types.length; i++) {
158                                         if (types[i].equalsIgnoreCase(mimeType)) {
159                                                 MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities capabilities = codecInfo.getCapabilitiesForType(mimeType);
160 
161                                                 boolean software = false;
162                                                 for (int k=0;k<SOFTWARE_ENCODERS.length;k++) {
163                                                         if (codecInfo.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(SOFTWARE_ENCODERS[i])) {
164                                                                 software = true;
165                                                         }
166                                                 }

Currently, SOFTWARE_ENCODERS has only one value, so it might not be an issue if the length of types are not > 1. But wanted to report just in case. Thanks!

hey hi, i was trying the example 2 application that uses this library with VLC on the other end as client playing using the sdp file. VLC recognises the audio track but its not receiving any audio blocks to decode. i guess something is not right with the audio streaming package. the spydroid app also had the same problem. i tried with both AAC and AMR. no use.

I tried replacing
public VideoStream() {
this(CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT);
but it didn't work , even tried to utilize public void switchCamera() API ,
was not able to switch to front ,camera any suggestions on this

There seems to always be a 1 second - 3 second delay on the stream. I'd love to use this as the basis for an open source FPV (first person view) robotic controller application. Do you have any ideas on how to reduce the latency to 500ms or lower?

your app is Great,i installed it on android 4.1 when i opened rtsp in vlc my laptop,it returns errors in win8.1

VLC is unable to open the mrl

live555 error: Failed to connect with rtsp://192.168.137.2:9090
core error: open of `rtsp://192.168.137.2:9090' failed

@fyhertz Thanks amillion for this
I am not able to connect to the phone app from web please help
I get below error on dev console

.

Dear sir,
I have iBall Slide D7061. When i play rtsp then log create as i attached.
Please help. I am in trouble since 20 days.
Note: My code is working on all other devices i tested.
error.txt

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.SurfaceView cannot be cast to net.majorkernelpanic.streaming.gl.SurfaceView

First thanks a lot for the nice app! It must be really helpful for many people under the siege we are in right now :)

Not sure if this is the same issue that I'm experiencing with a previous reporter (#11), but I guess it will be best to open a separate bug report (let me know if there's an open issue about he same thing, I might have missed it..)

OS is Mint 19.3
Firefox 76.0 (64-bit)
VLC is 3.0.8-0ubuntu18.04.1

The device is a OnePlus One with its default setup.

spydroid is the latest present version from F-Droid.

On an initial connection to the phone's portal address (i.e. 192.168.xx.xx:8080) the page greets me with a "You need to install or update VLC and the VLC mozilla plugin !".

I have all available plugins for vlc installed in Mint, but I'm really unsure if the reported missing plugin is not something not provided in Mint/Ubuntu repositories.

Let me know if I should share any other info in order to investigate this further.

hello i have installed app from play store and gave the IP address in chrome which was mentioned on app first screen but player on chrome always says CONNECTION and status remain same that is TRYING TO CONNECT....whats the issue and how can i handle it...???

Hi,
VLC player does not work very well anymore on osx. (looks like the api changed, I got javascript error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'add' of undefined ui.js:42 )

I'm interested in writing an html5 player.

Just looking whether this might already have been attempted.

The video streamed form 7'' or 8'' tablets (where both back and front cameras are in the reversed landscape mode) is flipped. Actually if I open the test mp4 file used to get SDP -- the video is also flipped in the player.

I don't run on browser and vlc when build spyandroid v10

Go to the documentation to learn how to Fix dependency resolution errors.

My phone is Galaxy S7, Android 8.0.0 stock. 352x288, 30 FPS seems to be the best I can get.

Here's what I get when the preview in VLC works, but FPS and resolution don't match:

I'm experimenting with using a OnePlus 5T phone as a camera for my YouTube videos.
I'd want to stream the image to my Linux PC for capture.
If I can get the image in Full HD, 60FPS in decent bitrate via RDP, I can capture that with VLC to a file.

The camera of that phone can also capture 4K 30 FPS video, I'd love to be able to stream that too.

SpyDroid seems to be lacking some options here though ;)

When open a client with VideoView, the latency is about 5~6 sec, as the time goes by, latency increased. after 0.5hour, latency will be about 50 sec.

Maybe the time stamp is wrong?

I see "Turn on wiki or tethering" and HTTP and RTSP ports are closed.

Although Anroid does not know about custom reverse tethering network set from root, I expect Spydroid to be able to just listen 0.0.0.0 and accept connections from nowhere.

If I enable Wi-Fi it works also from cable.

I installed Spydroid v8.0.2, using a mobile running Android 5.1,
Cannot access the camera no matter using http or rtsp by vlc.

When Preview, it shows black and said "Start a stream to enable the preview!"
Has anyone have the same issue and what's the solution to this? Thanks.

Just to clarify, I'm not very familiar with neither java or any of its build tools (gradle, maven, etc.), nor android development in general, and even though I've tried to build this project, I just get build errors.

I see there's a file called build.xml in the project root, but I'm still not sure what tool to use it with.

So how would I go about building this application and compiling it into an apk?

Hi,
is there any way to save stream in sd card in mp4 format?

This project seems to be not correctly working on modern android versions. The last commit is by seven years ago.
Is this project still alive?
Do you need help?
@fyhertz

When I open the app it force closes immediately. Don't have a log right now but should be able to provide it if needed.
