A critical bug fix β energy-saving mode (hide preview + dim screen) was stopping the live RTMP stream. Root cause: any stopPreview() call closes the camera capture session, dropping encoder frames. The fix implements energy-saving entirely in the UI layer as a near-black overlay (0xFF111111), keeping CameraPreview in the Compose composition at all times. Safe to toggle on/off any number of times mid-stream. π‘
β οΈ Action needed: This is marked as a major issue. Please review and merge PR #5!
Triaged a non-coding query. No code changes needed. Can be closed.

The codebase has seen exceptional velocity in the March 14β18 window! Here are the highlights:
| Commit Area |
Key Additions |
| β
T-035: QA Suite |
150 acceptance tests passing (StreamConfig, Resolution, AbrLadder, EndpointProfile, CameraSwitcher, BatteryMonitor) |
| π Security |
RedactingLogger applied to EncryptedEndpointProfileRepository & StubEncoderBridge β no credential leaks |
| π§ Navigation |
Full Compose AppNavGraph with Settings Hub, Video/Audio/General settings, Endpoint management |
| π₯ Stream Screen |

| π Process Recovery |
StreamViewModel handles process death, re-attaches preview via CompletableDeferred on service reconnect |
| π Connection Test |
TCP probe with 10s timeout, transport security enforcement |
| π‘οΈ ABR + Thermal |
6-rung quality ladder, adaptive policy, EncoderController with Mutex + 60s cooldown, API 29+/legacy thermal monitors |
| πΉ Camera Features |
CameraRevocationHandler, CameraSwitcher (debounce), LocalRecordingManager |
| π Audio Features |
DefaultAudioSourceManager (mute/unmute), AudioFocusHandler, MediaModeTransition (video+audio β audio-only) |
| π Metrics & Diagnostics |
SimpleMetricsCollector, detailed failure diagnostics |
| ποΈ CI/CD |
GitHub Actions APK release workflow with input tag support |
| π FGS/Intent security |

Implementation Progress
Based on the 42-task WBS in IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md, all core tasks (T-001 β T-042) appear complete through the March 14β18 sprint! This covers:
- β
All Phase 1 (Core Streaming MVP) tasks
- β
All Phase 2 (Settings & Configuration) tasks
- β
All Phase 3 (Resilience & Polish) tasks
- β
QA acceptance suite (T-035) with 150 tests
- β
Security hardening (T-026, T-036, T-038)
π Security Posture
All hard security rules are in place:
- β
EncryptedSharedPreferences for all credentials
- β
Intent carries only
profileId β no secrets in extras
- β
CredentialSanitizer + RedactingLogger for all log paths
- β
android:allowBackup="false" in manifest
- β
System default
TrustManager for RTMPS
- β
ACRA excludes
LOGCAT and SHARED_PREFERENCES
π― Recommended Next Steps
- π΄ Merge PR
#5 β The energy-saving stream fix is critical for long-session users. Review and merge!
- π‘ Close PR
#6 β Non-actionable draft, safe to close.
- π§ͺ Device Testing β With v0.0.1 released, run E2E on real devices: test RTMP/RTMPS streams, thermal throttling, reconnect backoff, and the new energy-saving overlay.
- π± F-Droid Submission β The
foss flavor is ready and CI-verified. Consider submitting to F-Droid!
- π Changelog/README β Document v0.0.1 features for users (sideload instructions exist in
SIDELOAD_INSTRUCTIONS.md β
).
- π Phase 5 Planning β Overlays, H.265, SRT transport, and multi-destination streaming are explicitly out of scope currently. Good time to plan if desired.
πͺ The project is in great shape! A massive amount of work landed cleanly, tests are passing, and the architecture is solid. Keep the momentum going!
