This is example how to stream H264 encoded video with FFmpeg framework and how decode H264 video on Android phone using MediaCodec API.
Requirements (only macOS):
- Install Brew
- Install FFmpeg framework with Brew
brew install ffmpeg - Run Android application
- Connect your development machine and android device into the same network
- Run video stream over TCP protocol:
ffmpeg -re \
-i videoplayback.mp4 \
-vcodec h264_videotoolbox \
-b:v 4M -maxrate 6M -bufsize 2M \
-pix_fmt yuv420p \
-tune zerolatency \
-f h264 tcp://192.168.0.32:9090
or stream from your front camera (be careful, you need grant camera permission on macOS)
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 30 -i "0" \
-vcodec h264_videotoolbox \
-b:v 4M -maxrate 6M -bufsize 2M \
-pix_fmt yuv420p \
