Research direction

The payload names FaceUnity's CameraRenderer, BaseFURenderer, ICameraRenderer, OnGlRendererListener (onRenderAfter) and FUCameraConfig, all in the FULiveDemoDroid sample, and the GLSurfaceView they render into. It does not name any RootEncoder source file or API for accepting frames. The work is to decide how processed GL frames reach RootEncoder's video input, which needs OpenGL and encoder knowledge. Done would be a design answer or example code from a maintainer, not a small patch.

Description

Hello,

I am using the RootEncoder library to stream content, typically from the phone's camera. Now, I need to apply some filters and effects, so I am integrating FaceUnity (FULiveDemoDroid).

FaceUnity renders using android.opengl.GLSurfaceView, and I would like to use this GLSurfaceView output for streaming with RootEncoder.

Implementation Details:

FaceUnity has a CameraRenderer class that extends BaseFURenderer and implements ICameraRenderer.

CameraRenderer uses a GLSurfaceView for rendering camera input with effects.

The camera is configured using FUCameraConfig, which sets properties like resolution, frame rate, and camera type.

The rendering process is managed by OnGlRendererListener, which provides callbacks such as onRenderBefore (for raw input data) and onRenderAfter (for processed data).

My Goal:
I want to take the output from GLSurfaceView (after FaceUnity has processed the camera feed) and stream it using RootEncoder.

Question:

  1. How can I access the processed frame data from FaceUnity's GLSurfaceView?
  2. What is the best way to pass this data to RootEncoder for streaming?

Any guidance or sample code would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
