Bug: Stream timeout... about streampack HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

it seems that when the image is static, no data is sent to the server

I have noticed the same behaviour. This is a behaviour from the Android API that is used to capture the screen (MediaProjection/VirtualDisplay): it does not generate frame for nothing. I guess most of screen recording application should have this behaviour. I can't see easy way to fix it.

As a workaround, I can't see anythibg else than increasing the publish timeout to infinity.

Yes, I also thought about this idea of putting infinite timeout, but I still haven't found any open source server with this possibility. Maybe I can customize in the source code.

Another test I did was with the RTP protocol and libstreaming on android and it doesn't have this problem, I don't know if it's the way the protocol works, maybe an RTP extension would be interesting...

Sorry, I can't help you on this one. Maybe there is a timeout configuration is SRS.

Does libstreaming provide a screen recorder embed in RTP?

Anyway, It has nothing to do with the container or network protocol. It is just a behaviour of the screen recorder (MediaProjection) on Android: it does not generate a lot of frames. You can test with the camera, you won't have this issue.

Hello,

Does libstreaming provide a screen recorder embed in RTP?

No it doesn't provide ready to use as your project, need to use MediaCodecInputStream and do all the code which takes the frames for the encoding.

But what I meant is that the protocol did not close the connection by timeout due to lack of data coming in but this must be from the RTP server implementation probably (janus). I don't know.

Hi,

I have no plan to support RTP for now.
You should try to find the publishing timeout in SRS settings. Contact them if you can't find the settings.

A possible solution to this problem is this:
MediaFormat.KEY_REPEAT_PREVIOUS_FRAME_AFTER

MediaFormat.createVideoFormat(MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC, width, height).let {
    it.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_REPEAT_PREVIOUS_FRAME_AFTER, 1000000 / DEFAULT_FRAME_RATE)
    it.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL, 1)
}
