📹 Multi Streaming.

Starting from version 2.0.0, multiple streams are supported, allowing live streaming to separate services. Views also support this, enabling the verification of raw video data

let mixer = MediaMixer()
let stream0 = RTMPStream() // for Y Service.
let stream1 = RTMPStream() // for F Service.

let view = MTHKView()
view.track = 0 // Video Track Number 0 or 1, UInt8.max.

mixer.addOutput(stream0)
mixer.addOutput(stream1)
mixer.addOutput(view)

let view2 = MTHKView()
stream0.addOutput(view2)

Offscreen Rendering.

Through off-screen rendering capabilities, it is possible to display any text or bitmap on a video during broadcasting or viewing. This allows for various applications such as watermarking and time display.

Example

Task { ScreenActor in
  var videoMixerSettings = VideoMixerSettings()
  videoMixerSettings.mode = .offscreen
  await mixer.setVideoMixerSettings(videoMixerSettings)

  textScreenObject.horizontalAlignment = .right
  textScreenObject.verticalAlignment = .bottom
  textScreenObject.layoutMargin = .init(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 16, right: 16)

  await stream.screen.backgroundColor = UIColor.black.cgColor

  let videoScreenObject = VideoTrackScreenObject()
  videoScreenObject.cornerRadius = 32.0
  videoScreenObject.track = 1
  videoScreenObject.horizontalAlignment = .right
  videoScreenObject.layoutMargin = .init(top: 16, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 16)
  videoScreenObject.size = .init(width: 160 * 2, height: 90 * 2)
  _ = videoScreenObject.registerVideoEffect(MonochromeEffect())

  let imageScreenObject = ImageScreenObject()
  let imageURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: "game_jikkyou", ofType: "png") ?? "")
  if let provider = CGDataProvider(url: imageURL as CFURL) {
      imageScreenObject.verticalAlignment = .bottom
      imageScreenObject.layoutMargin = .init(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 16, right: 0)
      imageScreenObject.cgImage = CGImage(
          pngDataProviderSource: provider,
          decode: nil,
          shouldInterpolate: false,
          intent: .defaultIntent
      )
  } else {
    logger.info("no image")
  }

  let assetScreenObject = AssetScreenObject()
  assetScreenObject.size = .init(width: 180, height: 180)
  assetScreenObject.layoutMargin = .init(top: 16, left: 16, bottom: 0, right: 0)

CocoaPods	def import_pods pod 'HaishinKit', '~> 2.0.0-rc.2' end	def import_pods pod 'SRTHaishinKit', '~> 2.0.0-rc.2' end

SRTHaishinKit via CocoaPods supports only iOS and tvOS.
Discontinued support for Carthage. #1542

🔧 Prerequisites

Make sure you setup and activate your AVAudioSession iOS.

import AVFoundation

let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
do {
    try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .default, options: [.defaultToSpeaker, .allowBluetooth])
    try session.setActive(true)
} catch {
    print(error)
}

📓 RTMP Usage

Ingest

let mixer = MediaMixer()
let connection = RTMPConnection()
let stream = RTMPStream(connection: connection)
let hkView = MTHKView(frame: view.bounds)

Task {
  do {
    try await mixer.attachAudio(AVCaptureDevice.default(for: .audio))
  } catch {
    print(error)
  }

  do {
    try await mixer.attachVideo(AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInWideAngleCamera, for: .video, position: .back))
  } catch {
    print(error)

  await mixer.addOutput(stream)
}

Task { MainActor in
  await stream.addOutput(hkView)
  // add ViewController#view
  view.addSubview(hkView)

📓 Settings

📹 AVCaptureSession

let mixer = MediaMixer()

await mixer.setFrameRate(30)
await mixer.setSessionPreset(AVCaptureSession.Preset.medium)

// Do not call beginConfiguration() and commitConfiguration() internally within the scope of the method, as they are called internally.
await mixer.configuration { session in
  session.automaticallyConfiguresApplicationAudioSession = true
}

🔊 Audio

Device

Specifies the audio device settings.

let front = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: .audio)

try? await mixer.attachAudio(front, track: 0) { audioDeviceUnit in }

AudioMixerSettings

If you want to mix multiple audio tracks, please enable the feature flag.

await mixer.setMultiTrackAudioMixingEnabled(true)

When you specify the sampling rate, it will perform resampling. Additionally, in the case of multiple channels, downsampling can be applied.

// Setting the value to 0 will be the same as the value specified in mainTrack.
var settings = AudioMixerSettings(
  sampleRate: Float64 = 44100,
  channels: UInt32 = 0,
)
settings.tracks = [
  0: .init(
    isMuted: Bool = false,
    downmix: Bool = true,
    channelMap: [Int]? = nil
  )
]

async mixer.setAudioMixerSettings(settings)

AudioCodecSettings

var audioSettings = AudioCodecSettings()
/// Specifies the bitRate of audio output.
audioSettings.bitrate = 64 * 1000
/// Specifies the mixes the channels or not. Currently, it supports input sources with 4, 5, 6, and 8 channels.
audioSettings.downmix = true
/// Specifies the map of the output to input channels.
audioSettings.channelMap: [Int]? = nil

await stream.setAudioSettings(audioSettings)

🎥 Video

Device

Specifies the video capture settings.

let front = AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInWideAngleCamera, for: .video, position: .front)

  }
} catch {
  print(error)
}

VideoMixerSettings

var videoMixerSettings = VideoMixerSettings()
/// Specifies the image rendering mode.
videoMixerSettings.mode = .passthrough or .offscreen
/// Specifies the muted indicies whether freeze video signal or not.
videoMixerSettings.isMuted = false
/// Specifies the main track number.
videoMixerSettings.mainTrack = 0

await mixer.setVideoMixerSettings(videoMixerSettings)

VideoCodecSettings

var videoSettings = VideoCodecSettings(
  videoSize: .init(width: 854, height: 480),
  profileLevel: kVTProfileLevel_H264_Baseline_3_1 as String,
  bitRate: 640 * 1000,
  maxKeyFrameIntervalDuration: 2,
  scalingMode: .trim,
  bitRateMode: .average,
  allowFrameReordering: nil,
  isHardwareEncoderEnabled: true
)

await stream.setVideoSettings(videoSettings)

⏺️ Recording

// Specifies the recording settings. 0" means the same of input.
let recorder = HKStreamRecorder()
stream.addOutput(recorder)

try await recorder.startRecording(fileName, settings: [
  AVMediaType.audio: [
    AVFormatIDKey: Int(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC),
    AVSampleRateKey: 0,
    AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 0,
    // AVEncoderBitRateKey: 128000,
  ],
  AVMediaType.video: [
    AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodecH264,
    AVVideoHeightKey: 0,
    AVVideoWidthKey: 0,
    /*
    AVVideoCompressionPropertiesKey: [
      AVVideoMaxKeyFrameIntervalDurationKey: 2,
      AVVideoProfileLevelKey: AVVideoProfileLevelH264Baseline30,
      AVVideoAverageBitRateKey: 512000
    ]
