This standalone demo aims to showcase best practices and optimizations to achieve reduced TTV (Time to Video) and improved latency with Amazon IVS.
The demo app displays a list of optimization options, each opening a simple player view, with pills offering information and feedback.
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Open the cloned repository in Android Studio, or an IDE of your choice.
- Run the application on an emulated device or a physical device running API level 29 or later.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Using your own stream will create and consume AWS resources, which will cost money.
By default, the app loads a demo live stream. By tapping on the cog icon in the app, you can open the settings view and modify the live stream that the app loads.
- If you do not have an Amazon IVS Channel, create and set up an Amazon IVS channel. A guide is available here: Getting started with Amazon IVS.
