I am not saying that you have to abandon PHP, but you need different technologies here. Let’s start off simple (without Akamai :-)) and think about the implications here. Video, chat, etc. – it’s all client-side in the beginning. The user has a webcam, you want to grab the signal somehow and send it to … Read more
Here’s a simple version of what you’re describing. It is “simple” in the sense that I didn’t bother trying to add the shading and other subtleties. But it’s easy to construct and you can tweak it to draw in a more subtle way if you like. For example, you could make your own image and … Read more
There isn’t a built-in way to do this, as far as I know. As you say, HTTP Live Streaming is for downloads to the iPhone. The way I’m doing it is to implement an AVCaptureSession, which has a delegate with a callback that’s run on every frame. That callback sends each frame over the network … Read more
If you do not need the recording and playback functionality in your app, using off-the-shelf streaming app and player is a reasonable choice. If you do need them to be in your app, however, you will have to look into MediaRecorder API (for the server/camera app) and MediaPlayer (for client/player app). Quick sample code for … Read more
The answer to this question turned out to be an issue on Android firmware installed on Samsung S III devices running Android 4.1.2. It seemed to have been something relating to the source of the stream, because some sources eventually played on the device, but the one we needed, never played. If you can get … Read more
Using VideoView is a good solution, but we can also use the native player to play RTSP. This is an example: if (movieurl.startsWith(“rtsp://”)) { Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(movieurl)); startActivity(intent); } Bear in mind your media must be created with Android Supported Media Formats (codecs).
Explanation: This problem occurs because Chrome allows up to 6 open connections by default. So if you’re streaming multiple media files simultaneously from 6 <video> or <audio> tags, the 7th connection (for example, an image) will just hang, until one of the sockets opens up. Usually, an open connection will close after 5 minutes of … Read more
I don’t believe there’s anything within .NET to allow copying a section of a file without buffering it in memory. However, it strikes me that this is inefficient anyway, as it needs to open the input file and seek many times. If you’re just splitting up the file, why not open the input file once, … Read more
Since Android L the BlueDriod stack does support A2DP sink, but it is disabled by default. To enable it do the following: /* Enable bluetooth av sink. */ #define BTA_AV_SINK_INCLUDED TRUE in /external/bluetooth/bluedroid/include/bt_target.h. This enables sink support in the bluetooth stack. Also you have to do this change: <!– Enable sink support. –> <bool name=”profile_supported_a2dp_sink”>true</bool> … Read more
It does appear that it is buffering a fixed amount of data rather than a fixed amount of time. For anyone who doesn’t know the bitrates of various types of NPR streams off the top of their head, the data looks like: MPR news stream: 27 seconds (http://newsstream1.publicradio.org:80/), 64 kbps MPR classical music stream: 15 … Read more
