Android LibVLC, take snapshot of RTSP stream without TextureView

QUESTION

Android LibVLC, take snapshot of RTSP stream without TextureView

Asked 2020-Jan-06 at 03:01

Consider using libVLC for Android, based on the official recommended way.

I went through the compilation process without problems (but took some time).

I'd like to have the snapshot functionality, but I've found some very old (2-3 years old) threads around which states that this feature is still not available (2016) at least "not out of the box' by this thread (2014).

Snapshot functionality is available on other platforms.

Also there are some solutions where they switch from SurfaceView to TextureView.

However I prefer sticking to SurfaceView as TextureView brings some performance drawbacks (according to this topic).

Also on an official android page it's stated:

In API 24 and higher, it's recommended to implement SurfaceView instead of TextureView.

In 2014 there were only 2 dependecies of the snapshot function based on the thread I've mentioned earlier:

enabling sout module
enabling png as encoder

When looking the "VLC-Android" repository of VideoLAN, there is a file responsible for building libVLC.

In line 396, sout module seems to be enabled by default.

Before compilation I've enabled png as encoder in vlc/contrib/src/ffmpeg/rules.mak as pointed out in the forum.

However there is still no function related to snapshot in either org.videolan.libvlc.MediaPlayer or in org.videolan.libvlc.VLCVideoLayout.

The question is how can I create a snapshot (either into file, or into buffer) on Android with libVLC, without using TextureView? Update1:

Fact1: Found the reason on why it's unavailable on Android. In VLC's core source tree, in file lib/video.c on line 145 there is the snapshot function with a massive FIXME warning:

A few ways to go about this...

Here's a crossplatform thumbnailer example using libvlc https://code.videolan.org/mfkl/libvlcsharp-samples/blob/master/PreviewThumbnailExtractor.Skia/Program.cs It should work on Android without much editing since it doesn't use any OS specific feature in the script. Should be able to translate it to Java/Kotlin as well I guess.
There is a libvlc function that allows to take snapshot. Just go the time you want and call it. https://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc__video.html#ga9b0a3870ce962aa0358050b2d5a59143
In VLC Android, the medialibrary now manages thumbnails.
LibVLC 4 now bundles a thumbnailer https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/d40eb012b10cc355ea9ad7a13eaf494b8e826d78/include/vlc/libvlc_media.h#L845

Good luck.
