Re: collect raw video data from camera and streaming it

As far as I know, you need DevKit to do it.

Re: collect raw video data from camera and streaming it

Search for the document titled "What Symbian OS Development Kit Do I Need?" from symbian.com and once you find it & read it, you will have the answer.

An excerpt:

Symbian creates 4 development environments:

• Symbian OS Customisation Kit (CustKit)
• Symbian OS Development Kit (DevKit)
• Symbian OS Binary Access Kit (BAK)
• Symbian OS Technology Preview SDK (TPSDK)

The CustKit enables Handset manufacturers to create mobile phones. It contains all Symbian-owned tools and source (it may omit some 3rd party source code that the licensee does not have legal right to receive). This product is not licensed to partners and is hence not covered further in this document.

The Symbian OS Development Kit (DevKit) is primarily targeted at partners contributing components to CustKit licensee “phone delivery projects” – it may also be useful for enterprise customers, network operators, and long-lead time application developers. It consists of a large subset of the CustKit: omitting only some tools that are used only by handset manufacturers, restricted Symbian OS and 3rd party sources.

The Binary Access Kit (BAK) is targeted towards long-lead time application developers, enterprise customers, and network operators. The BAK contains the same tools and the same access to partner APIs as the DevKit (with the exception of several cryptographic APIs). The BAK does not contain any core Symbian OS source code, and as a result can be licensed on much less strict terms than the DevKit. It does contain the same Example Source code as would be present in SDKs.

The Symbian OS Technology Preview Kit (TPSDK) provides early access to public ‘publish all’ APIs. It is suitable for partners needing early access to APIs that only become available when a mobile phone is released with its associated SDK. The TPSDK is available for download, at no additional cost, to Symbian Affiliate partners.

Puzzled You'd better contact the camera provider and ask for the rtp API.

You can do this by porting live555 and ffmpeg, I am just working in this field. But I think it's too hard for me to do. Sad

jianyu_21, first task is grabbing video from the built-in camera. It seems it's impossible without having DevKit, and to obtain it you should spend, AFAIK, approximately $1K.
