Setup Media3 Patched

Setup: Patched Media3 for Live HLS Streaming

FadCam uses a patched version of AndroidX Media3 for live HLS streaming support with real-time fragment callbacks.

Quick Setup (Required for Building)

The patched Media3 library is required to build FadCam. Choose one option:

Option 1: Use /tmp (Recommended for Linux/Mac)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anonfaded/media3-patched.git /tmp/media3-patched

Option 2: Custom Location

1. Clone to your preferred location:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anonfaded/media3-patched.git ~/libs/media3-patched

2. Add to local.properties:

media3.patched.path=/home/youruser/libs/media3-patched

Option 3: Windows Users

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anonfaded/media3-patched.git C:\libs\media3-patched

Then add to local.properties:

media3.patched.path=C:\\libs\\media3-patched

What This Does

The patched Media3 library provides:

• Real-time fragment callbacks for live HLS streaming
• ProcessedSegment API that delivers fMP4 fragments as they're muxed
• MSE-compliant output for browser compatibility
• No file polling needed - fragments delivered via callback

Build Verification

After cloning, build FadCam:

./gradlew assembleDefaultDebug installDefaultDebug

If you see warnings about Media3 not found, check your path configuration.
