/mnt/sdcard/ffmpeg -i - -codec:v copy -codec:a copy -bsf:v dump_extra -f mpegts udp://[IP]:1234
  • streaming to web (e.g. Youtube):
/mnt/sdcard/ffmpeg  -i - -strict -2 -codec:v copy -codec:a aac -b:a 128k -f flv rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/[Stream name/key]

Compilation

Open in android studio and compile as usual. After compiling, run sign.sh because it needs to signed by MStar key to gain access to required hardware.

Features

  • streaming as MPEG-TS to network (unicast/multicast)
  • streaming in FLV format to RTMP server (e.g. Youtube)
  • no need for intermediate recording file - thus no length limit
  • streaming runs in background

TODO

  • start after android boot
  • automatic start on boot not workink, use 3rd party app for now (e.g. Startup Manager)
  • bind remote control to start/stop/restart streaming
  • automatic stream restart after network or encoding failure
  • indicate recording with blinking status LED
