RTMP streaming and camera plugin.
This plugin is an extension of the flutter camera plugin to add in rtmp streaming as part of the system. It works on android and iOS (but not web).
This means the API Is exactly the same as the camera and installation requirements are the same. The different is there is an extra API that is startStreaming(url) that takes an rtmp url and starts streaming to that specific url.
For android I use rtmp-rtsp-stream-client-java and for iOS I use HaishinKit.swift
- Display live camera preview in a widget.
- Snapshots can be captured and saved to a file.
- Record video.
- Add access to the image stream from Dart.
First, add camera
as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.
Add two rows to the ios/Runner/Info.plist
:
- one with the key
Privacy - Camera Usage Description
and a usage description. - and one with the key
Privacy - Microphone Usage Description
and a usage description.
Or in text format add the key:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Can I use the camera please?</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Can I use the mic please?</string>
Change the minimum Android sdk version to 21 (or higher) in your android/app/build.gradle
file.
minSdkVersion 21
Here is a small example flutter app displaying a full screen camera preview.
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:camera/camera.dart';
List<CameraDescription> cameras;
Future<void> main() async {
cameras = await availableCameras();
runApp(CameraApp());
}
class CameraApp extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_CameraAppState createState() => _CameraAppState();
}
class _CameraAppState extends State<CameraApp> {
CameraController controller;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
controller = CameraController(cameras[0], ResolutionPreset.medium);
controller.initialize().then((_) {
if (!mounted) {
return;
}
setState(() {});
});
}
@override
void dispose() {
controller?.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if (!controller.value.isInitialized) {
return Container();
}
return AspectRatio(
aspectRatio:
controller.value.aspectRatio,
child: CameraPreview(controller));
}
}
