Hey thanks for this! I gave it a try, imported and built in my Android Studio ("Koala" if that matters), tried getting it installed on a phone, and unfortunately got this cryptic error:

> ninja: error: 'lib/libjpeg.so', needed by 'C:/Users/ADMIN/AndroidStudioProjects/kineticstreamer/app/build/intermediates/cxx/Debug/3xf5p505/obj/arm64-v8a/libkinetic.so', missing and no known rule to make it

That being said, I browsed through the code some more and while I think it's a great Android project, I don't think (assuming I got it working) it would be advisable for me to build on top of this. The existing complexity, and my lack of faith on cross-compatibility (different phones, SDK updates, etc) are a turn off. Heck I've even seen certain libraries and includes fail because they require different versions of Java/JDK that I have available.

So in summary, I think the solution for myself at least for now, will be to explore a different hardware route. A cheap raspberry pi equivalent, with a small display, and battery - annoying to have all these extra components but at least I know it'll work reliably.

whats cryptic about that?

I get the sense that the only development environment the OP knows at all is Python. With that perspective I understand why they might think that error is cryptic.

People keeps forgetting that pretty much everything is C-based and only a few language ecosystems have abstracted it away enough. And even then, if you want to program in slightly esoteric environment, you have to confront that fact. Just understanding how C/C++ projects are used (libraries, header file, linking,...) can get you really far if you have to stray from the happy path.
