KanTV

KanTV("Kan", aka Chinese PinYin "Kan" or Chinese HanZi "看" or English "watch/listen") , an open source project focus on study and practise state-of-the-art AI technology in real scenario(such as online-TV playback and online-TV transcription(real-time subtitle) and online-TV language translation and online-TV video&audio recording works at the same time) on Android phone/device, derived from original ijkplayer , with much enhancements and new features:

  • Watch online TV and local media by my customized FFmpeg 6.1, source code of my customized FFmpeg 6.1 could be found in external/ffmpeg according to FFmpeg's license

  • Record online TV to automatically generate videos (useful for short video creators to generate short video materials but pls respect IPR of original content creator/provider); record online TV's video / audio content for gather video / audio data which might be required of/useful for AI R&D activity

  • AI subtitle(real-time English subtitle for English online-TV(aka OTT TV) by the great & excellent & amazing whisper.cpp ), pls attention Xiaomi 14 or other powerful Android mobile phone is HIGHLY required/recommended for AI subtitle feature otherwise unexpected behavior would happen

  • 2D graphic performance

  • Set up a customized playlist and then use this software to watch the content of the customized playlist for R&D activity

  • UI refactor(closer to real commercial Android application and only English is supported in UI language currently)

  • Well-maintained "workbench" for ASR(Automatic Speech Recognition) researchers/developers/programmers who was interested in practise state-of-the-art AI tech(such as whisper.cpp) in real scenario on Android phone/device(PoC: realtime AI subtitle for online-TV(aka OTT TV) on Xiaomi 14 finished from 03/05/2024 to 03/16/2024)

  • Well-maintained "workbench" for LLM(Large Language Model) researchers/developers who was interested in practise state-of-the-art AI tech(such as llama.cpp) in real scenario on Android phone/device, or Run/experience LLM model(such as llama-2-7b, baichuan2-7b, qwen1_5-1_8b, gemma-2b) on Android phone/device using the magic llama.cpp

  • Well-maintained "workbench" for GGML beginners to study internal mechanism of GGML inference framework on Android phone/device(PoC:Qualcomm QNN backend for ggml finished from 03/29/2024 to 04/26/2024)

  • Well-maintained "workbench" for NCNN beginners to study and practise NCNN inference framework on Android phone/device

  • Well-maintained turn-key / self-contained project for AI researchers(whom mightbe not familiar with regular Android software development)/developers/beginners focus on edge/device-side AI learning / R&D activity, some AI R&D activities (AI algorithm validation / AI model validation / performance benchmark in ASR, LLM, TTS, NLP, CV......field) could be done by Android Studio IDE + a powerful Android phone very easily

Build Android APK

  • Option 1: Build APK from source code by Android Studio IDE

  • Option 2: Build APK from source code by command line

      lunch 1
      ./build-all.sh android
    

Run Android APK on Android phone

This project is a learning&research project, so the Android APK will not collect/upload user data in Android device. The Android APK should be works well on any mainstream Android phone(report issue in various Android phone to this project is greatly welcomed) and the following four permissions are required:

  • Access to storage is required to generate necessary temporary files
  • Access to device information is required to obtain current phone network status information, distinguishing whether the current network is Wi-Fi or mobile when playing online TV
  • Access to camera is needed for AI Agent
  • Access to mic(audio recorder) is needed for AI Agent
