How to make initializing Media with fd work on Android?
I am using LibVLCSharp (version 3.0.0) in a Xamarin app. I have a rtsp link from which I can receive the stream from external camera and display it using libVLC. Everything works fine when the media is created with rtsp link as
var media = new Media(_libVLC, rtspLink, FromType.FromLocation).
But in my Android project I need to bind connection between my external camera and my app to a specific camera wi-fi. This is needed to be able to simultaneously get stream from the camera and send it to the server.
Rtsp link has the following structure: rtsp://ip:port/live. So what I am trying to do is to create a Java socket with ip and port from the link (I need Java socket to be able to bind it to wi-fi network with Android api Network.BindSocket), connect to it. Then I am obtaining socket's file descriptor with ParcelFileDescriptor.FromSocket(_socket).Fd and I am creating VLC Media inside of Android project with the obtained int value using the constructor
Media.Media(LibVLC libVLC, int fd).
The input can not be parsed by VLC as far as I can see from the logs:
[VLC] [0000007843910290/4875] libvlc stream: read error: Software caused connection abort
[VLC] [00000078164c6ad0/4874] libvlc demux: cannot peek
[VLC] [00000078220eea90/4874] libvlc input: Your input can't be opened
[VLC] [00000078220eea90/4874] libvlc input: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'fd://68'. Check the log for details.
Questions:
- where can I see this log with details?
- do I need to specify something else for the lib, I haven't found such an option (like the actual path /live for instance)?
- do I need to send rtsp commands to my socket myself to make it work?
- or maybe initialization should be performed in some other way?
- additionally maybe it is somehow possible to obtain information (like fd) about input or output connection the library creates?
