RED5 AXIS camera capturing & streaming

Question

I want to capture an AXIS camera & stream it. I am quite new to RED5. I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.vikulin.rtmp.publisher.Publisher2.packetReceived(Publisher2.java:23) at org.red5.server.presentation.output.flv.FLVStream.dispatchEvent(FLVStream.java:243) at org.red5.server.presentation.output.flv.FLVStream.sendAVCDecoderConfig(FLVStream.java:162) at org.red5.server.presentation.output.flv.FLVStream.addEvent(FLVStream.java:76) at org.red5.server.presentation.MediaPresentation.onMediaEvent(MediaPresentation.java:43) at org.red5.server.presentation.input.avp.codecs.H264.addPacket(H264.java:206) at org.red5.server.presentation.RTSPStream.onRTSPEvent(RTSPStream.java:100) at org.red5.server.net.rtsp.proxy.RtspTcp.setupAndPlay(RtspTcp.java:287) at org.red5.server.presentation.RTSPStream.onSDP(RTSPStream.java:138) at org.red5.server.net.rtsp.proxy.RtspTcp.parseDescription(RtspTcp.java:128) at org.red5.server.net.rtsp.proxy.RtspTcp.describe(RtspTcp.java:64) at org.red5.server.presentation.RTSPStream.startInput(RTSPStream.java:77) at org.red5.server.presentation.RTSPStream.start(RTSPStream.java:82) at org.vikulin.rtmp.publisher.Publisher2.main(Publisher2.java:49)

Here is the code:

public class Publisher2 implements IStreamListener {

    PublishClient client;

    @Override

        System.out.println("" + arg1);
        VideoData data = new VideoData(arg1.getData());
        RTMPMessage message = RTMPMessage.build(data);
        try {
            client.pushMessage(message);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {

        Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Publisher2.class);
        String publishName = "testb";
        String host = "127.0.0.1";
        int port = 1935;
        String app = "live";
        PublishClient client = new PublishClient();
        client.setHost(host);
        client.setPort(port);
        client.setApp(app);
        client.start(publishName, "live", null);
        while (client.getState() != PublishClient.PUBLISHED) {
            Thread.sleep(500);
        }

        Publisher2 test = new Publisher2();
        final RTSPStream camera = new RTSPStream("192.168.254.115", 554,
                "rtsp://192.168.254.115/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&videokeyframeinterval=30&fps=30");
        camera.addStreamListener(test);

        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                camera.start();
            }
        }).start();

        try {
            Thread.sleep(30000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        camera.stop();
        try {//wait for write out.
            Thread.sleep(3000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        client.stop();
    }
}

If you have any idea please help me!

Answer 1

You declared a client variable in your main method, but in your packetReceived method, you reference the class variable. The class variable is still null at that point. So, possibly change this line:

PublishClient client = new PublishClient();

to this:

client = new PublishClient();

or pass the client in to your method, and remove variable declaration from your class.
