Live-video-streaming

A simple streaming setup that allows to view live video stream from camera

Prerequisites

• A fresh install of a Wowza Media Server. Folks at Wowza have written pretty detailled tutorials about insatlling it.
• An HTTP server like Apache 2, it will serve a page containing the flash player that will play the stream.
• Those two servers should obviously be accessible from the web, and could be running on the same computer.

Running the app

• Open /Android-App directly with Android-studio.
• Give the URI of the wowza server and username and password (these settings will be stored and can be changes from app-settings).

Opening the app on a req

• For this we need to sed a post req to https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send in the following form

Headers:
Content-Type : application/json
Authorization : key=<Firebase_Server_Key>

Body:
{
	"to":<FCM_Registration_Token>,
	"data":{
		"name":"this is the neme field",
		"param":"this is another field"
	}
}

• Firebase_Server_Key can be found in your Firebase project in Project Settings -> Cloud Mesaaging tab -> Server Key/ Legacy server key (Any key will do)
• FCM_Registration token is generated by FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken() and can be found in Logcat of Android-studio. If you cannot find this token, click the log_button in the app, and token will be printed in logcat.

Running the web-player

• Have apache server running
• Place the /web folder in /var/www/html
• open http://<ip_address>/web/index.htm
