Android UVC HDMI

[skinkie]

Hi, very long ago I was around. But I recently regained interest, because of a new phone.

In the documentation it is mentioned: Additional UVC/HDMI support is available experimentally for Android.
How would I select the USB UVC input?

I am able to use the USB UVC input using the "famous" USB camera app, hence I know it is working, but I also already know that it seems that there is a bandwidth limit on this phone's "fake" USB-C input which seems to limits it processing to about 800x600x30fps, higher resolution possible at lower frame rate.

For Android, you can download this and sideload it as an APK:

Make sure your USB device is compatible. This sometimes means connecting the camera to the phone with a powered USB OTG hub. My webcam won't work directly connected, but it does work when connected to a powered USB Hub. Sometimes just an OTG compatible device is enough, but it will depend on the device and the phone I guess.

Cameras that output h264/h265 only will not work I think; UVC compatbility is important, and funky settings may break it.

Anways, to use this, just start the app, connect the camera, and within a few seconds the camera should just appear.

If this app crashes, I can put up an older version that might be more stable, but isn't as far along in terms of UI.

Given that the USB Camera app works, but is very picky on which video format was taken, I think we have this covered.

I'll take a peak. I am also interested in getting 'tally' light to work and removing the OBS-url messages after a connection is established.

I added a tally light and the view link hides when someone views it. the tally light however is only letting you know someone is viewing; not that it's active in OBS.
