RootEncoder is an Android library written in Java/Kotlin for encoding and pushing live video/audio streams to media servers over RTMP, RTSP, SRT, UDP, and WHIP protocols. It supports camera1/camera2 sources, filters, and multiple codecs like H264/H265, AAC, and Opus.

Use cases

  • stream live camera video from an Android app to an RTMP server
  • broadcast audio and video over RTSP from Android
  • push SRT streams from a mobile device
  • build a live streaming app on Android
  • record and stream phone camera to a media server
  • add WHIP WebRTC ingest to an Android app

When to choose

  • you need to push live streams from Android to RTMP/RTSP/SRT servers with pure Java/Kotlin code
  • you want codec and camera source flexibility including CameraX and UVC
  • you need a mature, actively maintained Android streaming encoder library

When to avoid

  • you need iOS streaming (use the separate RootEncoder-iOS project)
  • you need playback or receiving streams rather than encoding/pushing
  • your target platform is not Android
