How to deploy and run app

You'll need flutter installed and added to your PATH first: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install

You'll also need Android Studio I suppose installed and setup,

But then,to run,

git clone https://github.com/steveseguin/vdon_flutter
cd vdon_flutter
flutter packages get
flutter run

This works okay for Android; macOS users might want to use Xcode directly instead.

Mac users building with xcode may also want to have a real iOS device attached for this to work.

How to build for Android

flutter build apk

How to build for iOS

You'll need to install Flutter and add it to your PATH. You'll also need Xcode installed: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/macos

You may need to install cocoapods, etc. sudo gem install cocoapods for example.

From the ios folder, you may want to try installing the gems there or whatever is needed.

Once Flutter is installed, Just open the project with XCode, connect a real iOS device to the system, and build the app. The project should be in the ios folder of the repo.

You may need a developer certificate from Apple to build iOS; Apple might have free ones available for testing only, but otherwise, ~ $100 USD.

App store hosted versions

If you make a pull-request to this repo, I can try to update the store-hosted version of the app with your approved changes. The app is free to download from the store.

Supported viewer-side flags

  • &codec
  • &bitrate
  • &audiobitrate
  • &scale

The viewer requires &password=false to be used.

Contributions welcomed

  • UVC / USB camera and microphone support is very much welcomed
