How to Subscribe

Subscribing to a Red5 Pro stream requires a few components to function fully.

Setup R5Connection

The R5Connection manages the connection that the stream utilizes. You will need to setup a configuration and intialize a new connection.

//Create the configuration from the tests.xml
R5Configuration config = new R5Configuration(R5StreamProtocol.RTSP,
	TestContent.GetPropertyString("host"),
	TestContent.GetPropertyInt("port"),
	TestContent.GetPropertyString("context"),
	TestContent.GetPropertyFloat("subscribe_buffer_time"));
R5Connection connection = new R5Connection(config);

SubscribeTest.java #33

Setup R5Stream

The R5Stream handles both subscribing and publishing. Creating one simply requires the connection already created.

//setup a new stream using the connection
subscribe = new R5Stream(connection);

SubscribeTest.java #41

The R5StreamDelegate that is assigned to the R5Stream will receive status events for that stream, including connecting, disconnecting, and errors.

Preview the Subscriber

The R5VideoView will present subscribed streams. To view the subscribing stream, it simply needs to attach the R5Stream.

A R5VideoView can be set in any View, or created programmatically

display = (R5VideoView) view.findViewById(R.id.videoView);

SubscribeTest.java #48

Lastly, we attach the Stream to the R5VideoView to see the streaming content.

display.attachStream(subscribe);

SubscribeTest.java #49

Start Subscribing

The R5Stream.Subscribe method will establish the server connection and begin Subscribing.
