Hi!
I want to live stream video from android device. I found out that ffserver (ffmpeg) can be compiled and run on android. Now i need to get video from camera in android device and get it to the ffserver in real-time.
Any ideas?
Regards, MM
A:
I would look at android.hardware.Camera and android.media.MediaRecorder. You set the "camera" for the media recorder and it has a start/stop methods. It streams the output to a file when you start it, and closes the file when you stop.
This may be another good reference to look at.

Thanks for answer! I already look at Camera and MediaRecorder, but with MediaRecorder I can save video into mp4 or 3gpp format, this formats may cause problems to real-time streaming. If I'll not found other solution, I will try with this. Currenty I'm looking for how to send video from camera directly to ffserver without MediaRecorders encoding. regards,

hmmm, would android.hardware.Camera work with an external USB webcam and a slate PC running Android, do you know?
