This sample code is based on Google's shadercam library and extends the shadercam-example app with live streaming support using the Wowza GoCoder™ SDK. The camera preview display is based on Android's camera2 API with real-time filtering using the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL).
The shadercam example app was updated to support live streaming by adding a StreamingRenderer class that uses the WOWZGLBroadcaster API class and the WOWZRenderAPI.VideoFrameRenderer interface in the GoCoder SDK to encode each frame for the video stream while a live broadcast is active.
