status quo?

Hey there,

can you give me a short overview how far this project is already? Is it possible to recieve NDI Streams on full framerate on an andorid device? What Android Version did you test on? What kind of device?

thank you a lot for sharing!

The whole project is very young. One week ago, i searched for an app that could display ndi streams. I found only apps that costs money (even monthly money) and this was a not satisfying situation. And then I thought: It could not be too hard to write an app that displays an ndi stream so give it a try.

The current implementation is not production ready. There is a lot of work to be done. I only implemented to video formats (bgra and uyvy because my ndi sources use those formats). Another restriction is that ndi hx is currently not possible.

I tested this app on two devices. On an LG G7 thinq with Android 10 and on a Samsung M31s with Android 12. I didn't tested the app on any tablet yet.

The main restriction factor when it comes to the max possible framerate is your network. When your network is poor, the framerate will be poor. In my test environment i'm pretty happy with the framerates (25fps over a wireless network - both sender and receiver are wireless) is no problem. More than 25fps is currently not implemented.

My plan is to keep up the development of this app. And there will be a more detailed README file with build instructions soon.
