Testing Your Cisco StadiumVision Mobile App


The Cisco StadiumVision Mobile SDK includes the ability for developers to test their application without being connected to a Cisco Connected Wi-Fi Network. This capability is provided with a set of files that can emulate the data received over the network. The clean.stream file that comes bundled with the SDK contains just one video channel.

To provide app developers with additional ways to test multiple channels, an additional set of clean.stream files is available for use on Apple iOS and Google Android. This package includes a number of Cisco StadiumVision Mobile stream files for local playback on a mobile device. The stream files enable an SVM app developer to perform some basic testing when access to the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile backend infrastructure is not available.

We recommend that you get started using these stream files with the included Cisco StadiumVision Mobile demo app before attempting to use it with the app you are developing. For details consult the read-me files included in the root folder of the SDK package.

All stream files are encoded with the default triplet below. The app listening to these stream files must use this exact triplet in order to receive the streams.

"license": { "venueName": "VenueName", "contentOwner": "ContentOwner", "appDeveloper": "AppDeveloper" }

The following stream files are included:

  • video.stream: This stream file contains 4 video channels, as opposed to the one video channel in the stream file that comes bundled with the SDK. The stream file starts off with one channel. Every 10 seconds another channel appears, until all 4 channels are present. The channels then start dropping off one by one, until no channels remain.
    The video on channel 1 freezes when the channel disappears from the channel lineup. In order to keep the file size reasonable, only one of the channels includes media.
  • audio.stream: This stream file contains one audio channel.
    Only the Android SDK supports audio channels.
  • ccast.stream: This stream file contains the required streams to test basic EVS C-Cast functionality. The stream file contains these 3 channels:
    • CcastTimeLineXML: Data channel carrying the C-cast timeline in XML format.
    • CcastTimeLineJSON: Data channel carrying the C-cast timeline in JSON format.
    • CcastTimeMedia: File channel carrying the C-Cast mp4 video and jpg thumbnail files.
      The iOS Sample app 2.1 does not support file channels. The iOS SDK does however have full file channel support.
