Streaming an Android App to an RTSP Server with EasyPusher‑Android and EasyDarwin
This guide walks through setting up a Windows Nginx RTMP server, using FFmpeg for local video push, then employing the open‑source EasyPusher‑Android component together with EasyDarwin to capture Android camera or screen, stream it via RTSP with low latency, and verify playback with EasyPlayer‑RTSP.
Setup Nginx RTMP on Windows
Build an Nginx RTMP server on Windows and use FFmpeg to push a local video file to the RTMP endpoint. Detailed steps are documented at

EasyPusher‑Android for Android capture
EasyPusher‑Android provides APIs for front/rear camera or desktop screen capture, encoding, and RTSP/RTP push. Under suitable network conditions the end‑to‑end latency is 300 ms–500 ms, making it appropriate for low‑latency live streaming scenarios.
Repository:
https://github.com/EasyDarwin/EasyPusher-AndroidDeploy EasyDarwin RTSP server
EasyDarwin is an open‑source RTSP server that integrates with EasyPusher and EasyPlayer‑RTSP.
Download the release package from https://github.com/EasyDarwin/EasyDarwin/releases, extract it on the server, and run the provided executable.
Open the control page at http://<em>server_ip</em>:10008 (default credentials admin/admin). Ensure the firewall allows inbound traffic on port 554.
Configure and start streaming from Android
Download and install the EasyPusher‑Android APK from http://app.tsingsee.com/EasyPusher.
Launch the app; the UI lets you select real‑time screen capture or camera capture.
Set the push URL to rtsp://<em>server_ip</em>:554/live, appending a unique stream identifier after /live for stream identification.
Tap the menu button (bottom‑left) to start pushing. The app shows a “pushing” message when the stream is being sent.
Return to the EasyDarwin control console; the interface displays a “push successful” status, confirming receipt of the media.
Playback verification
Download the EasyPlayer‑RTSP client from http://www.easydarwin.org/, install it, configure the source URL with the same RTSP address, and click Play. The video from the Android device is rendered, demonstrating end‑to‑end streaming.
