About this app

This program plays a raw H.264 video stream from a Raspberry Pi camera.

The program is open source and is available on GitHub under the MIT License at:

        https://github.com/ShawnBaker/RPiCameraViewer

Details on how to use this program are available at:

        http://frozen.ca/rpi-camera-viewer-for-android

Details on how to generate video on the Raspberry Pi are available at:

        http://frozen.ca/streaming-raw-h-264-from-a-raspberry-pi

In a nutshell, when you start the program it scans the local network for cameras and shows you the resulting list. Tapping on one of the camera names displays the video from that camera.

New features

Fixed a stream timeout bug that caused up to 20 seconds of latency.
Disconnecting from a camera is now more stable and faster.
All of the buttons now look the same.
