Kinesis video consumer in android

Question

I am currently developing an android app which live streams the video to the kinesis video streams and the ability to play the stream in some other devices.

What i did: I followed the link https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/producer-sdk-android.html and was able to stream the video to the kinesis stream, which i could see in the stream dashboard page.

Now to consume the stream and play it in the device i found the java sample of it - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/parser-library.html. After some trial and error i was able to render the video in the JFrame.

Question: My question is, isn't there an end-to-end support to produce and consume the kinesis video streams completely in android?

Answer 1

You can use Kinesis Data Firehouse service through which you can store kinesis data stream to S3 or redshift & can request the stream through android app

Link for the reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mobile/latest/developerguide/how-to-android-kinesis-data-stream.html

Just so I understand your question, are you looking for a component that hides away the details and steps required to create and consume the streams and provides a simpler programming interface? Can you share some more details about what you have in mind?
