Research direction

Start with the switch between the RtmpCamera2 and RtmpFromFile classes, since the report says the black screen and flicker happen when moving between them. Reproducing it needs an Android device and an RTMP endpoint, and the issue does not say what the expected behaviour is. Done would mean either a documented way to switch sources without the black screen or a code change that removes it, and the thread has no maintainer answer yet.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We have a requirement to sometimes show adds... so when we are switching from RtmpCamera2 to RtmpFromFile or vice versa we are facing a black screen issue, a no stream on card that we have as well as a flicker that persists for 2-3 seconds. How to avoid this ?
