Google Glass stream video to server

Question

I'm trying to build an app for Google Glass that can stream to a server and have a client view the stream via a web browser. So far it seems I need to do this via RTSP to a media server such as Wowza and then have a web server hosting some video player that views the RTMP stream but I'm not having much luck.

Using libstreaming (https://github.com/fyhertz/libstreaming) I'm never able to view the stream.

I also would be interested in doing something with WebRTC so that I could make a solution similar to Hangouts but am not sure there is any libraries that support this yet.

Any help is appreciated.

Since January, libsreaming has been fixed to work on Glass. Its RTSP video can easily be viewed in VLC player or plugin. Code below does not include the auto-generated stubs.

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback, Session.Callback {

private int mRtspPort = -1;

private ServiceConnection mRtspServerConnection = new ServiceConnection() {

    private static final int RTSP_PORT = 1234;

    @Override
    public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder binder) {
        RtspServer s = ((RtspServer.LocalBinder) binder).getService();
        s.setPort(RTSP_PORT);
        mRtspPort = s.getPort();
    }
  };

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // Configures the SessionBuilder
    SessionBuilder.getInstance()
            .setSurfaceView((SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface))
            .setCallback(this)
            .setPreviewOrientation(90)
            .setContext(getApplicationContext())
            .setAudioEncoder(SessionBuilder.AUDIO_NONE)
            .setVideoEncoder(SessionBuilder.VIDEO_H264)
            .setVideoQuality(new VideoQuality(320, 240, 20, 500000));

    // Starts the RTSP server
    bindService(new Intent(this, RtspServer.class), mRtspServerConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mResumed = true;
    displayConnectString();
    SessionBuilder.getInstance().getSurfaceView().setAspectRatioMode(SurfaceView.ASPECT_RATIO_PREVIEW);
    SessionBuilder.getInstance().getSurfaceView().getHolder().addCallback(this);
}

private void displayConnectString() {
    WifiManager wifiMgr = (WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
    WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiMgr.getConnectionInfo();
    int ip = wifiInfo.getIpAddress();
    String ipAddress = Formatter.formatIpAddress(ip);
    ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.connectInfo)).setText("rtsp://" + ipAddress + ":" + mRtspPort);
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    unbindService(mRtspServerConnection);
}

@Override
public void onSessionStarted() {
    ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.connectInfo)).setText("");
}

@Override
public void onSessionStopped() {
    displayConnectString();
}
}
