• Encoding Android Camera Frames h263/h264 [on hold]

  29 décembre 2015, par Another Guy

  I want to implement a Video Chatting app on Android . I created a SurfaceView , get Camera preview and captured the frame as a byte[ ] using Camera.PreviewCallback.onPreviewFrame( ) method . Now I want to encode that byte[ ] to a h263 frame , pass over the network . Also get similar type of frame over network , decode it to a byte[ ] ( or a displayable format ) , and show it in a View . I want to do it at least 15 FPS rate . I am asking help for the encoding/decoding part .

  For that purpose , which library would be suitable for me ? From where I should start ? Is my starting point wrong ? Is there any support on SDK or would I have to use NDK ? I have heard about FFMpeg/x264 library , but I could not figure out how I can use them in my purpose . It’s highly appreciated If you name any library , any reference , learning path , link or code snippet . Can you help me saying any workflow I should follow ? What if I want to use h264 encoding ? I just want to get it done , GPL/LGPL license of library would not matter a lot .

  I am a beginner in Android development . Any kind of assistance would be highly appreciated . Thanks in advance .

• Trying to sync audio/visual using FFMpeg and openAL

  22 août 2013, par user1379811

  hI have been studying dranger ffmpeg tutorial which explains how to sync audio and visual once you have the frames displayed and audio playing which is where im at.

  Unfortunately, the tutorial is out of date (Stephen Dranger explaained that himself to me) and also uses sdl which im not doing - this is for Blackberry 10 application.

  I just cannot make the video frames display at the correct speed (they are just playing very fast) and I have been trying for over a week now - seriously !

  I have 3 threads happening - one to read from stream into audio and video queues and then 2 threads for audio and video.

  If somebody could explain whats happening after scanning my relevent code you would be a lifesaver.

  The delay (what I pass to usleep(testDelay) seems to be going up (incrementing) which doesn't seem right to me.

  Please let me know if I need to provide any more relevent code. I'm sorry my code is untidy - I still learning c++ and have been modifying this code for over a week now as previously mentioned.

  Just added a sample of output I'm seeing from print outs I do to console - I can't get my head around it (it's almost too complicated for my level of expertise) but when you see the frames being played and audio playing it's very difficult to give up especially when it took me a couple of weeks to get to this stage.

  Please someone give me a hand if they spot the problem.
