JCenter shutdown - do you plan to move the latest version to another repository?

[natario1]

Hi @mekya , I know that you said that you don't maintain this library anymore and we don't expect new versions. But given that jcenter is shutting down, I was wondering if you plan to migrate at least v3.1.0 to some other repository manager like maven central, so that it can still be consumed by everyone?

As far as I can see, the lib is currently jcenter only, please correct me if I'm wrong. And many apps and libraries depend on LibRtmp, e.g. ExoPlayer RTMP module. So we'd appreciate this a lot. Thanks!

[mekya]

Hi @natario1 , Yeah likely we can migrate to maven central.

What's the timeline for jcenter?

[natario1]

AFAIU by the end of march 2021, publishing is blocked, but they'll still serve packages until 1st of February 2022. I might read this wrong though. https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/

[mekya]

I see. Thank you. I think we definitely add the lib to the maven repo or somewhere.

[natario1]

Great! Thank you.

@mekya - Is there any update on this? I would expect the warnings in Android Studio to be progressively more prominent the closer toward the deadline we get.

Hi @ojw28 ,

Recently, I'm using this project in another product. I've found a bug in this code in NAL unit parsing.

I am trying to fix it in this week and I can send the project to the maven central after that.

Hi Guys,

There is SNAPSHOT version available sonatype. Can you check if it is working for you? https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;gav~io.antmedia~rtmp-client~~~~kw,versionexpand

implementation 'io.antmedia:rtmp-client:3.2.0-SNAPSHOT

And add snapshot repo to your repositories

maven {
   url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
}

[ojw28]

@mekya - Is this just a step toward the goal of providing a versioned release somewhere, or is this intended to be a replacement for distribution via jcenter? I think we're really looking for a versioned release (i.e., the ability to depend on a specific version, and expect that the binary wont change unless we change the version that we're depending on). Thanks!

Hi @ojw28 ,

This is just a step toward the goad of providing a versioned release somewhere. If it seems ok for you, I can create a versioned release(not snapshot) that binary won't change to the maven central.

[ojw28]

Thanks for the clarification. I'd be happy to test this given a media RTMP link that's accessible over the internet. Unfortunately I've not been able to find a working one. Do you know of one that I could use for testing?

Hi @ojw28 ,

I think you may try this one :)

PS: TBH, I've not find an opportunity to test it in the Exoplayer. So I'm wondering if it works for you.

[ojw28]

I gave the snapshot a try with ExoPlayer, and it appears to work correctly.

[mekya]

Good to know. I can publish as a versioned release(3.2.0) whenever you're ok.

Btw, what do you think adding WebRTC playback(a kind of experimental extension) to the ExoPlayer for real time playback? I think we can make this development.

That would be great. Please let us know where we can get it, when available.

This isn't on our roadmap for the near future, but we'd consider a high quality pull request adding support.

Ok. I can send it in my convenient time.

What makes a PR high quality for you? Do you have development guidelines?

[ojw28]

@mekya - Do you have an ETA on when there will be a versioned release? Thanks!

[mekya]

I think I can push to the repo in a couple of days If you don't have any feedback.

[ojw28]

We don't have any feedback other than it appears to work correctly, as noted above. Thanks!

[ojw28]

@mekya - Any update on this? Thanks!

[mekya]

Sorry for late reply.
