Transmitting image from an external webcam to third-party apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is there a way including or not rooting the phone to have the image from an external camera being broadcast to third-party apps such as Messenger, Whatsapp or Skype?
My use case is such that as a blind person I would like to send what a wearable camera sees to someone on the other end in order to allow this person to describe what's in front of me. I think something like Gopro attached to a smartphone as long as it can work in a webcam mode would do the trick.
So far I only found apps that let one record videos from external cameras but no mention of a way to make the camera the primary device throughout the system.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
kind regards
Paweł

[Q] Problem on ExperiencedKernel

@artas182x Can you place the new kernel or patch for fixing sensor? I am new to xda so I am not allowed to post messages in the development forum.
I happy that you have a ram hack version but after I flashed it, I cannot access my recovery mode in usual way. Also I want both the ram hack and 1080p video recoding work at the same time.
You can't have ramhack and 1080 recording at the same time.
To have more ram something had to be disabled, and i think that disabling 1080 recording was a good choice.
Got much more free ram, in exchange of not so frequent used feature.
And what's Your problem with Recovery?
I can access CWM and TWRP normally, Home+VolUP+Power.
I fixed sensor. I will upload new version, when i finish fixing other bugs. I'm trying also to add gpu oc via sysfs.
--
Version 0.2 with fixed sensor released!

It does not work Miracast

Miracast is not working, that is, you can send the display by youtube but it does not work in another application, you can not do a screenshot on tv phone does not search for available devices. Do you also have this problem.

You need to have root and to add next line to build.prop file:

Save and reboot your phone.

Anyone knows how to make Youtube videos always play in HQ on Remix OS for PC?

I managed to find an app to change the resolution Easy DPI Changer works great.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chornerman.easydpichanger&hl=en
However even at 1080P Youtube Videos play at low resolution. You manually have to check HQ to get them to play at better resolution. Does anyone know how to force Remix OS to play all Youtube videos in HQ?
I can only assume that Netflix videos will also play in low resolution. I haven't tried Netflix yet.
As far as I know this depends on the app settings or internet speed.
YouTube app should play videos in highest available resolution depending on internet speed.

Not so sure about that. I have 60Mbit/s download and 10Mbit/s Upload and my Nvidia Shield Android TV always plays everything in HQ but on Remix OS I have to manually click the HQ icon
I understand. I don't know how the YouTube app decides on the default quality, but it looks like it depends on the hardware.
Most likely it doesn't have your GPU/CPU on it's "list of 720/1080p fully capable hardware" and that's why it doesn't automatically pick the highest resolution.
Still... it's just my deduction.
Easiest way to enforce YouTube behaviour from Nvidia Shield would be to fake your Remix OS hardware info by changing GPU/CPU info with the NVIDIA Shield (or some other hardware running Android officially) info. It should be possible just like setting fake GPS fix.
I'm using a Laptop with an I5 3320m processor, it uses the Intel HD Graphics 4000. I believe this can handle 1080p Youtube in Windows.
Anyways I added some tweaks to my build.prop and at 1080p it stutters too much. I dropped the resolution to 1366x768 since I'm using a 32" TV and it handles 720P pretty good now but struggles with 720p at 60 fps in Youtube.
But now Youtube atomatically chooses resolution up to 720p 60 fps with the modifications to the build.prop
Does Remix OS has good Intel drivers? Anyway to update them if there are better drivers out there?
Have you checked if this laptop can view 1080p videos on Windows?
I don't think you'd be able to view them fluidly on this machine - not from YouTube.
Jide focused on trying to provide best Intel GPU drivers and I think your HD 4000 won't work any better.
You could update drivers, but that would require building your own kernel which is a pain, because Jide posted no documentation on how this should be done. Additionally their kernel source repository gives errors on build trials...
All in all, know that on Remix OS YouTube videos will play best in the YT app. In browsers they usually have worse framerate.

Ok I just tested YouTube on a external monitor in Windows with resolution at 1920x1080.
I tried playing some trailers tagged 1080p 60fps which really lag on Remix OS. For some reason the video only goes to 720P when playing in Windows but it plays smooth.
On Remix OS when the same video plays it's tagged as 720P 60fps and it lags, the video/audio is choppy at times.
This is the video I tested
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeK-d553Mjk
I also tested it in Windows on another Laptop that has a i5 4300U with an Intel HD graphics 4400 GPU
and on this one it lets me pick 1080P 60fps in Chrome and it plays smooth. I think on the other laptop it only went to 720P because I was using IE
**Edit**
Ok I installed Chrome on the other Laptop and in Windows it seems to lag a little in 720p 60fps and 1080p 60fps, not as much as in Remix OS but there is some lag every few seconds.
The i5 4300U with an Intel HD graphics 4400 GPU does not seem to have this issue. I guess YouTube 720p60 and 1080p60 are demanding and the HD graphics 4400 GPU does a better job
I did one more test.
In Chrome I went to chrome://flags
and disabled Hardware-accelerated video decode and now YouTube 1080p60 videos seem to play smooth on the i5 3320 with the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics card since it's using the CPU for hardware acceleration now
Does anyone know how to make Remix OS use the CPU and not the GPU for hardware acceleration? This probably will fix the stutter in YouTube.
@saulin78
As far as I know it's not possible to set Software Renderer on a per app basis. The app either has to have special codecs like MX Player has (HW/SW mode) or you need to boot the whole system in SW or HW mode.
For YouTube or Chrome apps on Android HW/SW switching is NOT possible.
You can try booting Remix OS in full SW rendering mode - CPU will handle all graphics.
This mode usually provides much worse overall performance which is self-explanatory.
From experience I know in this mode even high end CPU's can't handle high res video playback.
To test, you need to boot the OS with special kernel parameter in grub boot menu:
Code:
androidboot.swrast=1
Here is the info on how to apply the parameter: Guide
@Vioner
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually ended up tweaking my build.prop with suggested settings from other forums and this one and still the YouTube app struggles with 720p60, the video is not choppy anymore but the sound cuts in/out, however the videos play smooth using the Chrome Browser and the sound is fine there so I'll just use that
Chrome browser for Android is simply much different from the Windows/Linux one and it can't provide the same performance.
I'm glad you reached a somewhat acceptable scenario.

Finally! MIUI v8.11.15+ Builtin Screen Recorder has System Audio Recording!

Hi i'm here to ask why we still can not record internal audio for android 7+ versions? Is it hard to hack it? Android 6 CAN RECORD why from nougat to latest 8.1 we can NOT record internal audio? Is it still possible? Thank you!
I hope one day devs will look into it! It really helps while recording gameplays and streaming using just a phone!
Edit:
I have found the app that can record internal/system audio here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.nick.app.screencast
BUT. . . it need ROOT access and Xposed framework and can only record for 30mins also you wont be able to hear sounds while recording and it has crackling sound for oreo! After installing the app goto xposed installer and enable the module then reboot check record audio and in audio source choose r_submix.
Video example
https://youtu.be/YX7GHkAc1ko
I hope someone fix this issues like be able to listen while recording and extend the recording time. Here's his github
https://github.com/Tornaco/ScreenCast
https://github.com/Tornaco/ScreenCast/releases
I don't know if it's open or closed source. Thanks!
Edit:
Finally Xiaomi added System audio/internal audio recoeding in their built in screen recorder app!
Only on MIUI 8.11.15 Above!
the strange thing is that in samsung devices this is possible (record only internal audio). -Galaxy C9 Pro with nougat. You could buy mobizen headphones to record internal audio ... or buy a samsung cell phone.

As far as my knowledge goes (not too far) currently there is no app that can record audio for android above than ,5.1.1 so my suggestion to you is just use a 3.5 mm audio jack and connect it to the source and receiver!

Sent from my One Plus 5T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yeah, this would be really useful. Why don't they make this?
No?
Sad that this is not still posible.
I hope someone port miui 10 screen recorder that has built-in internal/system audio recorder.
I dont know why samsung and lg can do this but not other brands! Why??? Im so sad. I might buy samsung now ;(
OP updated i found the app!
Try using Rec Me Screen Recorder from the playstore and download the app called internal audio plugin from the playstore as well.
With this app you can record internal audio while you can still hear gameplay..
Works with ANDROID NOUGAT AND OREO!!?
ROOT REQUIRED!!!
However the recorded internal audio is high quality but the audio that you hear while recording is very poor.

Not working on Resurrection Remix 6 on Xiaomi Mi A1!
When enabling the plugin, it says applying changes and reboots! But after reboot it's still disabled! ?
Install this app as system app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fooview.android.fooview
Then go to fooview settings developer settings and enable "internal audio recording"
This will set internal audio recording for all apps what use the android capture api, systemwide.

ROFL 13$
There are people who are so much greedy, that they allways loose more money instead of making some.
if this guy would be smart, he would sell ot for 3 or maybe 5$
He would get much more money than with a 13$ app.

There are people who are so much stupid, that they do not understand and do not try to understand why such a price. Look at what functions there is in the appendix D*V Screen Record and compare with those functions that are in applications for 3 - 5 dollars, and then write. D*V Screen Record really records the video with the sound inside the device, without any speakers, microphones, bluetooth .......... Before I wrote my post, I tested 30 apps from the Play Store and they don't record video with internal sound. So who's here the fool? You or the guy who made the really necessary and working application? D*V Scrien Recorder can make a printscreen - but in other applications there is even no this function! D*V Scrien Recorder records in excellent quality and can immediately rassharivat this video for various services including YouTube and much more - so do not talk nastily without any facts and grounds! In occasion of greed - greedy you and same as you who want all for free. You know what can buy for $ 13 ??? one dish in a cafe or even half a dish for that money ........... So who's an idiot? So, here you greedy idiot.
