It's already been a month and I am losing hope now.
I am trying to capture a video from device 1 and stream it to device 2.
I can already save a video file but the problem is when I stream it into another phone simultaneously while the device 1 is capturing video using camera.
I've seen many tutorials on streaming videos and applied on mine but the videos are already saved in the device, not being captured and streamed simultaneously.
I hope you can help me with this.
.
UPDATE................................................................
Currently I can send a text through socket. I am just including the image capture there to test saving the data in my phone, but it's not sending it through the socket yet.
This is my current code right now:
