Android MediaRecorder streaming

Question

Is it possible to execute a “stream” of MediaRecorder result?

The only method I can see is mediaRecorder.setOutputFile, which receives a FileDescriptor. Therefore, I can write the result to a file or send via socket to the recipient.

I tried the second solution, but the video result is corrupted because it is not “searchable” in the stream.

The idea is to use the camera of an Android device to publish the result to Red5.

Answer 1

Yes, perhaps there are many examples for this. You can check the sipdroid example. Or even an Android IP camera , which is much simpler.

Answer 2

Yes it is possible. Here is sample code with FileDescriptor and socket:

socket = new Scoket("192.168.1.234",8888); ParcelFileDescriptor fileDescriptor = PercelFileDescriptor.fromSocket(socket); mRecorder = new MediaRecorder(); mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); mRecorder.setOutputFile(fileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor); mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); try { mRecorder.prepare(); } catch (IOException e) { Log.e(LOG_TAG, "prepare() failed"); } mRecorder.start();
