Live from GoPro 4 to Android

Question

I am developing an Android app to get a live stream from a GoPro 4 session into an app.

In previous GoPro models, a direct stream can be obtained by requesting the URL http://10.5.5.9:8080/live/aaba.m3u8

However, in GoPro Hero 4 models, the URL request was changed to http://10.5.5.9/gp/gpControl/execute?p1=gpStream&c1=start

And this requires ffplay and a python script to support streaming.

I would like to know if this can be done in an Android app.

I do not need to have good quality and smooth playback, since I only need to get an idea of ​​the camera.

I have an idea to set the GoPro mode to an image and take a picture with an interval of 1 second. Then get the image from 100GOPRO / DCIM in the Android app per second. Can this be done on Android?

Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

I have not tried this myself until now, but I found a comprehensive github repository that shared streaming information about many GoPro cameras: https://github.com/KonradIT/goprowifihack

• wake up first as described here
• Restart the stream using http://10.5.5.9/gp/gpControl/execute?p1=gpStream&a1=proto_v2&c1=restart
• Then stream through udp: //10.5.5.9: 8554 source
