streaming from Android to VLC - android

I know similar questions have been asked but I have not been able to find the answer to my SPECIFIC problem.
I am attempting to create a RTSP/RTP video stream from the Android camera to a VLC Player client. I have written a small RTSP server to handle all the the setup and VLC seems to like my parameters. However, after the PLAY command is issued and My app starts sending the video stream (via DatagramPackets) the VLC player does not receive any data.
I am using the jlibrtp library and setup my stream like this
sendSoc = new DatagramSocket(1238);
recSoc = new DatagramSocket(1239);
sess = new RTPSession(sendSoc, recSoc);
FakeClass fc = new FakeClass(); //This implements the RTPAppIntf but all the functions are empty
sess.RTPSessionRegister(fc, null, null);
sess.payloadType(96);
Participant p = new Participant("localhost",1236,1237);
sess.addParticipant(p);
This is the logs I see from VLC player

So I don't know what is wrong. VLC should be listening on the android device port 1236 but its not seeing the packets so i dont know where it is listening. Can tell me if this looks right?

Found out the issue was writing my packets to the Android device port 1236 instead of the client device port 1236. So the transport parameter in the SETUP command that states
Transport: RTP/AVP/UDP;unicast;client_port=1236-1237;server_port=1238-1239
Is stating the server (Android phone) will send RTP packets from server port 1238 to client device port 1236. Likewise, RTCP communication will occur between server port 1239 and client device port 1237.

Didn't you try to check session? Does it contain packets on port 1236? Is it possible that your FakeClass must contain any functions which must send data to VLC?

UDP source port number is missing in the SETUP response message

I am working on a Wifi Display Sink application in android and am facing an issue where the source is not sending the UDP server-port number in the RTSP SETUP message.
The SETUP RESPONSE is as below
'RTSP/1.0 200 OK
cseq: 2
date: Tue, 11 Aug 2015 15:12:38 +0000
server: Mine/1.0
session: 1719935144;timeout=60
transport: RTP/AVP/UDP;unicast;client_port=15550-15551;
'
NOTE:
I have figured out the server-port number using tcpdump in the source device. It is 16660. It doesnot look like any specifically assigned port number as well.Seems like a random port number hardcoded into the source device for Wifi Display Application.
Is there any other way to know the server-port number to which I should listen to for incoming UDP packets?
You should be listening on port 15550 and 15551 and the incoming UDP packets will contain their source port.

NFCPY: Safely exiting beam.py example

I have downloaded nfcpy and successfully ran the beam examples.
I use the beam.py to send data from a RPi with PN532 NFC chip to a Nexus Android phone, the data is sent correctly but on the RPi the python script does not exist as long as I keep the phone next to the reader.
The question applies to sending and receiving from nfcpy.
What do I have to do for the beam.py to exist
safely ?

The most natural way that an NFC P2P link terminates is with some error caused by link disruption. For as long as both devices are in proximity, the communication will just continue with exchange of symmetry packets. This way either device may start other conversations as it wishes - SNEP (or beam) is not just the only thing.
Specifically for nfcpy's beam example, the way to terminate earlier is by Ctrl-C. Or to modify the example to terminate when the task is done.

CANCEL request from Android SIP demo ignored by Asterisk 1.8

I am facing a strange problem when using the standard Android SIP Demo in combination with an asterisk 1.8.9.2 server: incoming / outgoing calls are working correctly, but there is one thing not working: when I launch a call from the SIP demo and I close the call again (hitting the "End current call" button), the call is terminated in the SIP demo, but the called device still keeps ringing.
I have tried to check what's happening by logging the telegrams via Wireshark and it seems that the CANCEL telegram from the SIP demo to the asterisk server is not accepted, take a look:
300 08:30:39.483913 130.10.0.102 192.168.0.110 SIP/SDP 916 Request: INVITE sip:110#192.168.0.110:5060, with session description

And now the real strange thing: If I repeat the same action, and before terminating the call through the "End current call" button I wait for ca. 7 seconds, the CANCEL is accepted and the call is terminated correctly:
646 08:31:05.571464 130.10.0.102 192.168.0.110 SIP/SDP 916 Request: INVITE sip:110#192.168.0.110:5060, with session description

I have checked the contents of both CANCEL requests, and the structure is completely the same!
Furthermore I have also tested a server with asterisk 1.6 and there I did NOT encounter this problem, the call is terminated correctly there!
So it makes me believe that it has to do something with asterisk vers. 1.8.
Did anyone encounter similar problems and has some helpful hints for me? If further data is needed for analysis, just let me know!
Thanks for your help,
BR

I was facing exactly same problem with Asterisk 1.8.11.0 and Android 2.3/4.0.3.
There is a simple solution for this problem under the 'general' section of sip.conf file
add following attribute with value equals to no.
[general]

pedantic=no
I hope it will also work for you.....
The SIP demo is just a demo :) It may not handle all situations correctly. Does it work with a 'real' SIP client? Use your favorite softphone app to verify. For Android, you can try SIPDroid. If it does, there is something missing from the SIP demo, if not, might be a problem with your Asterisk configuration.
Unfortuntely SIPDroid uses another SIP stack then Gingerbread has installed natively. This is why you don't observe ignoring CANCEL method there. I was playing with android SIP stack for sample integration with AVSystem TR-069 ACS server and had the same observation. Don't know yet whether there is any fix for that.

Strange MediaPlayer behavior after reconnection

I use own local server as data source for Android MediaPlayer object. When the player connects to the server in first time he sent GET request like this:
GET/ HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:53087
User-Agent: stagefright/1.1 (Linux;Android 3.2.1)
After for reconnection I recreate the player, but on connection he sends some another request:
GET HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:53087
Accept: */*
and drops the connection when takes a data immediately. After he sent a request as in the first time and starts playing.
Whats is the reason for so strange behavior?

Android RTP SDP X264 problem (Have audio, but no Video)

Android will play both the audio and video (AAC,h263) that I server it from my rtp server, but when I serve an AAC/H264 stream, I only get the audio and no video.
In the working scenario, Android issues a SETUP command for both track ids, but the H264, android never issues the SETUP command for the second Video track.
Is my SDP file correct? The profile-id and sprops I believe are correct as are copied directly from the sps and pps NALs from the H264 encoder. The video is baseline#2.1
Is Android failing to repsond or recognise the second track?
If I stream the video file by itself with live555 it works fine, and I have compared the SDP file it produces with my own one.
Any ideas?
Thanks

sprop-parameter-sets shouldn't have a tab or space in it (may be a copy/paste bug).
Android (or the player being used there) may not support packetization-mode 1. 0 is required; 1 is optional.
a=framesize and a=cliprect - those aren't standard H.264, but may not be a problem.
I assume the port 0 is normal for your usage (since audio works)? In offer-answer, port 0 would be a rejected stream (in an answer; in an offer it means a disabled stream).
I've seen implementations (I'm looking at YOU, Grandstream!) that insist on spaces after semi-colons for H264 fmtp (they're wrong) - you have a mixture.
Is the "C0" in the profile-level-id correct? that adds constraints; try it without the constraints and see what the response is. (You can still send a more-constrained stream than the SDP indicated.)
Thanks for your help Jesup, it was very much appreciated.
The problem was the sprop parameters, I noticed when I copy and pasted the second SDP file for you.
The encoder I used to do the base64 calculation for my testing was for character data, not binary data. So 65 was being interpreted as the character 6, and the character 5, and encoded, rather than the single number (A in ascii I guess).
Does that make sense?
Silly mistake on my part. Thanks again
Ian
