I'm working with a cheap wireless video transmitter and receiver system that uses an Android App to receive the video over WiFi.
We want to be able to identify where the stream is coming from to be able to play it in VLC or some other desktop player from a laptop.
After some digging - I've discovered that there are UDP packets being sent from the wireless transmitter to the connected device after an initial packet is sent.
So a UDP socket opens on port 9000 and the device can start receiving UDP packets which are sent in large volumes (I couldn't find any other kind of activity so I'm presuming that this is the video stream).
Node.js code to receive this below:
var server = udp.createSocket('udp4');
server.on('message',function(msg,info){
console.log('Data received from client server: ');
console.log('Received %d bytes from %s:%d\n',msg.length, info.address, info.port);
});
server.bind(9000);
This will get a list of UDP packets appearing in the Node console. And I can see them in Wireshark.
Things I've already tried:
- Various FFMpeg commands on the UDP address.
- Playing the UDP address in VLC directly.
Wireshark just identifies them as UDP packets, but the dump of hex + ASCII is below:

I'm now at a complete loss as to how I can actually get this stream to play on any device other than an Android/iOS app that the transmitter normally works with.
Any ideas on what my next steps might be to try and work this one out?
