Hello,
I cannot make the library work when I add
compile 'de.mrmaffen:libvlc-android:2.1.12@aar'
instead of
compile 'de.mrmaffen:vlc-android-sdk:2.0.6'

When I press "Start player", only static image (may be just first frame from camera) is shown, but it is not updated anymore (RTSP stream plays is ok with version 2.0.6) - I wanted to try new version because stop() function hangs sometimes for few seconds, when I call it after the connections is dropped (like VLC is waiting for some timeout and VLCVideoLibrary.player.stop(); is being blocked for some time), so I wanted to try if it is fixed

Hi, Mr. Sánchez!

Is there any way to extract the timestamp from the RTP packets sent by the server after being received at the client using this library? My goal is to calculate network latency.

Thank you very much in advance.

is there any way to calculate how much frames received per second and its resolution.

How can i reconnecting it back if the host streaming has some interruption?

I try to initalize everything again but got this error E/VLC: [00000075cd32e890/399a] libvlc decoder: failed to create video output

Is there any way to extract frames from stream.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the project. The code is working. What should i do if i want to record the video? Thanks a lot.

my app is 4 mb , after add library 'com.github.pedroSG94.vlc-example-streamplayer:pedrovlc:2.5.14v3'
it become 60 mb why ?

Is there a way to grab the current rendered frame by VLC (on a TextureView or SurfaceView)?

I was directed to inject an OpenGL ES code snippet to where the VLC is rendering in order to get the current frame into a ByteBuffer using for example, GLES20.glReadPixels(...), then parsing that buffer into a Bitmap. However, it seams that VLC is making the rendering process in a native way where i searched the vlc-android sdk for OpenGL usages in java and i found nothing.

Thanks.

I am using pedro vlc to live stream rtsp url from cp-plus ip camera.
How can I record the live stream and save it to local device?
Can you please guide?

very thanks for your demo about vlc ， i have a problem about video capture , how can i do get video capture or where can i get rtsp fream ,thank u!

On class VlcVideoLibrary

We could pass VlcOptions as a parameter like

public VlcVideoLibrary(Context context, VlcListener vlcListener, SurfaceView surfaceView, ArrayList<String> defaultOptions)

Here we have option of add some flags

Hello,

Currently as soon as the app goes to background, the video stops and does not resume when app comes into foreground again. The only way currently is to stop the video in onPause of activity and restart in onResume. Is there a way to keep the video playing in background? I checked and the libVLC supports playing video in background since version 1.x. How can we enable the vlc provided feature?

Thanks

Would be nice to control how much buffer the player can take. And, if it could use file, memory....

Hii,
RTMP video playing is stop after some time and I get following error and after app close.

Hi,
I've a recycler view with multiple cameras.
I've managed to get the various rtsp streams and display them. My problem is that the videos don't fill the SurfaceView, but are resized in the left-bottom corner of the view. How can I fill the view with the videos, maintaining their aspect ratio?
Thanks

I played around with this code today and it works quite well. However, it would be nice if a license was made available. I'm currently using this code for learning purposes, and personal use only.

I am working on live streaming application like facebook live
I want to stream video without black border like same as 'center crop' image.
Please help me to show video like this.

I have tried aspect ration but not getting proper output.

Hi,

could anyone help how to fix below issue.

Scenario-1:
After sometimes of streaming, the app is stopping to stream and giving below error.
Scenario-2:
If surface view made View.INVISIBLE for 5 mins, the same issue is happening.

Please check the log.

Hello, I tried this library and works pretty well for rtsp videos. Is there any option for recording the streaming video from the library itself?
Thanks

Can I add video screenshots and video recording？

如何设置缓冲值呢？How do I set the buffer value?

i stream a live audio using RTMP and i want to play it using VlcVideoLibrary but without surfaceview.

HI :)

I notice that your RTSP stream rtsp://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov is an RTSP/UDP, will you player support RTSP/TCP streams as well, like the one coming out of red5 servers

Thanks a lot

I am using android studio 3.5.2 on Windows 10.
Deploying this app to my Samsung Android Galaxy , Android version 6.0.1.

I am viewing from a stream created on another Android by "IP Webcam" server.
It transmits rtsp live feed.
There is about 3 seconds latency from the object appearing in front of Camera and the player displaying the new object.
If I view the same url via it's web page, it shows it instantly, on the same Android where I am running this player.
This proves that there no latency either on the server, nor network issues on the player side either.
How can I eliminate the latency or the delayed response of the client?
vlc_client.log
MainActivity.txt

My app is hang when I watch stream about 5 minutes.
Can you help me?

Hey.

As I see there is only API for retrieving audio and video from camera. Is this possible to send audio from android phone mic to camera dynamics?

Hey,

How to get media info such as codec, fps, resolution, bitrate? I tried player.getCurrentVideoTrack(). but no result. I am getting only codec info. rest all set to zero.

Please tell me how to get those information

Hi,

i am able to stream Live IP Camera(RTSP) feed to Textureview,need to add overlay on top of Textureview and then capture Textureview(blending both preview frame and overlay frame) to send it to server.

Need help regrading adding overlay to a VLC Textureview.

@pedroSG94 I am playing video having aspect ratio 3:4 using surface view and its stretching video. Can you help me how can I play all type of aspect ratios.

I have set up the "Stream Group Name" of Transcoder on the Wowza Streaming Engine server to provide the SMIL files to playback client. Does this VLC player automatically apply the "auto changing resolution and fps"? Thank you.

播放十几秒，画面就卡死了

Is there any way I can access input data of your Player. I need to extract KLV values and I can not find a way to access input stream.

Is there a way to toggle audio level (mute/unmute) while its playing?

Thanks!

Hi,
I hope you have an awesome day.

As soon as I download my app with your library from the Play Store (Alpha-Release) I get an error that says:

2019-03-20 16:35:49.803 7092-7092/? E/VLC/JNI/VLCObject: FindClass(org/videolan/libvlc/Media$Track) failed

1. Is this a proguard error and can you give me the proguard rules for this library?
2. Why doesn't it happen with my locally installed release version?
3. Do you have an idea how to solve the problem?

All the best and thank you,
Emanuel

Hey,

I'm using this in-app and trying to connect to an RTSP wifi camera whilst being still connected to 4g/cellular network.
If I run this by default it doesn't connect to the camera, if I use ConnectivityManager and call mConnectivityManager.bindProcessToNetwork(network); when network is the wifi network of the RTSP camera, I do get the stream but the rest of the app is not working (all transport goes through wifi) while it should use 4g. Any way to use VLC on a specific network? Maybe setting the socket itself, Tried looking into the lib code but ended up on a dead end when reached the JNI calls.

Any help with this?
Much appreciated!

Update:
Tried to use iface and iface-addr options but no luck for me, should it work?

When I try to load a rtsp stream from one of my camera it will take long time and then play it after mentioning "switching to TCP". After this line its quick to load the video
