Streaming from WIFI Camera

[mariomoureperez]

Hello, I currently have a WIFI camera that I connect to my app and display its content on a SurfaceView.

Is there any way to create an RTSP server to stream the content of the SurfaceView instead of the camera's feed?

App Purpose: Any device on the same network as the smartphone should be able to view what is displayed on my SurfaceView via rtsp://ip-smartphone/

Thanks

Hello,

Yes, this is possible but no directly your SurfaceView.
You need use RtspServerStream class, create a new VideoSource and bind your library used to render that SurfaceView in the VideoSource.

To do it I recommend you read this related posts (the concept is the same but instead of use an external usb camera library you are using a library that get the stream from a rtsp ip):
#121
#110

If you need more help I will need know the way you connect that rtsp stream with your SurfaceView

Thank you for the quick response,

If what you suggested doesn't work, could I stream my smartphone screen instead?

I saw that there is a similar issue, #111, but the example link https://github.com/pedroSG94/RootEncoder/tree/master/app/src/main/java/com/pedro/streamer/displayexample is no longer available.

You only need replace GenericStream with RtspServerStream and use startStream method without url
