I'm trying to stream a video file (h264 raw stream) from Android Device to VLC using Live555. My native code is based on the testh264streamer example, which works fine on Ubuntu.
However, when I try to start the streaming on Android it does not work. The video file is opened successfully and the client receives some packages (I followed it with Wireshark), but VLC does not show anything.
I guess the problem is the connection between Java and C++, so here's my Java-Code, which calls the native streaming method:
public class LiveStreamer implements Runnable {
private static final String LOG_TAG = LiveStreamer.class.getSimpleName();
private Context context;
private String fileName;
private FileDescriptor fileDescriptor;
public LiveStreamer(Context context, String fileName) {
this.context = context;
this.fileName = fileName;
this.prepare();
}
private void prepare() {
try {
fileDescriptor = prepareStream(fileName, fileDescriptor);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String getFileName() {
return fileName;
}
public FileDescriptor getFileDescriptor() {
return fileDescriptor;
}
private native void stream(String ipAdress);
private native FileDescriptor prepareStream(String file, FileDescriptor fd)
throws IOException;
@Override
public void run() {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Start streaming ...");
String ipAddress = NetworkUtilities.getWifiIpAddress(context);
if (fileDescriptor != null) {
stream(ipAddress);
}
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Stopp streaming ...");
}
}
And my native code:
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_[PACKAGE_NAME]_LiveStreamer_stream(
JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jstring ipAddress) {
const char* c_ipaddress = env->GetStringUTFChars(ipAddress, false);
jclass streamClazz = env->GetObjectClass(obj);
jclass exceptionClazz = env->FindClass("java/lang/RuntimeException");
if (streamClazz == NULL || exceptionClazz == NULL) {
return;
}
if (videoFile == NULL) {
return;
}
// setting up the usage environment
TaskScheduler *scheduler = BasicTaskScheduler::createNew();
uenv = BasicUsageEnvironment::createNew(*scheduler);
// Creating groupsocks
struct in_addr destinationAddress;
destinationAddress.s_addr = chooseRandomIPv4SSMAddress(*uenv);
const unsigned short rtpPortNum = 18888;
const unsigned short rtcpPortNum = rtpPortNum + 1;
const unsigned char ttl = 255;
const Port rtpPort(rtpPortNum);
const Port rtcpPort(rtcpPortNum);
Groupsock rtpGroupsockVideo(*uenv, destinationAddress, rtpPort, ttl);
Groupsock rtcpGroupsockVideo(*uenv, destinationAddress, rtcpPort, ttl);
rtpGroupsockVideo.multicastSendOnly();
rtcpGroupsockVideo.multicastSendOnly();
// Create a 'H264 Video RTP' sink from the RTP 'groupsock':
OutPacketBuffer::maxSize = 100000;
rtpVideoSink = H264VideoRTPSink::createNew(*uenv, &rtpGroupsockVideo, 96);
// Create (and start) a 'RTCP instance' for this RTP sink:
logDebug("Starting RTSP server ...");
const unsigned estimatedSessionBandwidth = 10000; // in kbps; for RTCP b/w share
const unsigned maxCNAMElen = 100;
unsigned char CNAME[maxCNAMElen + 1];
gethostname((char*) CNAME, maxCNAMElen);
CNAME[maxCNAMElen] = '\0'; // just in case
RTCPInstance* rtcpVideo = RTCPInstance::createNew(*uenv,
&rtcpGroupsockVideo, estimatedSessionBandwidth, CNAME, rtpVideoSink,
NULL, True);
RTSPServer *rtspServer = RTSPServer::createNew(*uenv, 8554);
if (rtspServer == NULL) {
logError("Failed to create RTSP Server");
exit(1);
}
ServerMediaSession *session = ServerMediaSession::createNew(*uenv,
"herosession", "video.sdp", "Session streamed by \"LiveCam\"",
True);
session->addSubsession(
PassiveServerMediaSubsession::createNew(*rtpVideoSink));
rtspServer->addServerMediaSession(session);
logDebug("RTSP server started ...");
logDebug("Beginning streaming ...");
char* url = rtspServer->rtspURL(session);
logDebug(url);
play();
uenv->taskScheduler().doEventLoop(); // does not return
}
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
Edit //
Here's the logcat of my app (seems something unspectular):
