Please introduce the ability to record video to phone about pldroidmediastreaming HOT 7 OPEN

I'm sorry to say that we wouldn't provide the API since Pili's customer can get the MP4/m3u8 from pili cloud streaming server conveniently.

I can understand your point of View. But take this very simple and common use case.

When there is no internet, user cannot stream at all. If you allow to record, then the developer can code to appropriately upload the video to the concerned cloud storage when internet is back.

Not to forget, downloading video from the cloud server adds additional cost to the end user due to increased data cost. If you look at Periscope/Meerkat, they by default save the video to phone while streaming. After end of the stream, these apps ask to Keep or delete the video on mobile. That way the video is

Note; Even in our environment, users can download video from the backend cloud storage. But that is more costly and painful for users as it increases their data cost. So the obvious way this should work is to by default keep a copy on phone and let users decide if they want to delete it and later download from cloud. Like all other streaming apps.

I hope my argument makes sense. It is a win-win situation for all of us, including the consumer/user

Please let me know your thoughts

Today Bambuser released another live streaming app "Birdplane", which like all other live streaming apps allows to save videos on phone (specifically built for scenarios just in case the network is not good).

It is a minimum standard now to allow to save the videos on phone while live streaming

I hope you reconsider you decision. This is a must feature on Pili.

A request to reconsider the decision after taking my arguments into context.

The IOS eqivalent of this library (PLCameraStreamingKIt) allows to record locally. So do you still think it is not required in Android version?

iOS equivalent of this library does not provide the direct API to record as local file but an API to process the video buffer frame by frame. That means we can save it as video locally by hand.

I think the Android version provides the ability as well. Good luck.
