WatchMe live stream!
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
With the new
YouTube WatchMe for Android
project, you can easily integrate
YouTube Live Streaming
into your Android app. YouTube WatchMe brings your app the same live broadcasting capabilities that you've seen in great apps like
Live on YouTube – by Xperia™
and
Re – by HTC
.
YouTube WatchMe for Android is an open-source project that uses the
YouTube Data API v3
,
YouTube Live Streaming API
,
Google Play Services
and
Plus API
. You can customize it for your app, and you can also contribute to the project by filing merge requests for new features or submitting bug reports.
How to start using the app
Sync the
Github repo
In your
Google Developer Console
,
Enable the Youtube Data API v3 and Google+ API.
Create a client ID for Android, using your SHA1 and package name.
Include cross-platform compiled streaming libraries.
Either
libffmpeg.so under src/main/jniLibs/armeabi,
or
another streaming library with modifying VideoStreamingInterface

This App is still experimental, so stay tuned here and subscribe to the
YouTube for Developers
channel to keep up on the latest.
Cheers,
