GenericStream in BackgroudActivity

[milazki]

Hi, Pedro!
I am currently doing a project that allows the user to stream from the camera in the background. For this task, I used the background example, everything worked well in the background, but there was a problem with orientation: if the user turned the phone, the camera would not turn on the stream. After that, I saw a Generic Stream in your project that solves this problem, but I don't fully understand how to run it in the background. In the example, it works in the background, but if you start the stream and exit the activity, then the application crashes, is there a way to solve this problem?
Is it possible for it to work with orientation as in Generic Stream (Rotation Activity) and at the same time retain functionality in the background, as in BackgroundActivity?

Hello,

You have an example using GenericStream in a Service here:
https://github.com/pedroSG94/RootEncoder/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/pedro/streamer/screen/ScreenService.kt
You only need use the desired video source and audio source and conmunicate the service with the activity

Yes, thanks, it helped.
A slightly different question appeared... When the screen is rotated, the image is distorted, especially noticeable if hold the device at 45 degrees, is it possible to fix this? Saving only two modes: vertical and horizontal

Hello,

Can you share images where I can notice the distortion?
Also, I will need a way to reproduce it. Maybe create a project with a code example

.Hello, I may have explained the problem incorrectly. I attached a video where the image stretches/distorts during rotation. Used the source code

Hello,

I can't see an image distortion.
I only can see a problem. When you rotate the device, image rotate even if your screen don't do it.
But this problem was fixed here: 784c862
This fix is available in version 2.4.4

Did you use this method to handle orientation?
