Implement thermal monitoring and user notification for device overheating during long RTMP streams #4
Description
Summary
Implement thermal monitoring and user notification to detect overheating during long RTMP streaming sessions, especially on older Android devices.
Observed Problem
During long RTMP streaming sessions, high CPU usage can cause the device temperature to rise significantly, making the device hot.
Conditions
- Long-running RTMP video encoding sessions
- Older phone models are more affected
Why This Matters
- Overheating can damage devices
- Sustained heat degrades user experience and stream reliability
- Users are currently not warned before reaching unsafe thermal conditions
Required Work
- Use Android's built-in temperature management API
- Monitor device temperature during streaming
- Notify the user when device temperature becomes too high so they can stop the stream and reduce heat
Expected Outcome
- The app detects elevated thermal conditions during streaming
- Users receive a clear warning before the device reaches unsafe heat levels
- Thermal monitoring closes a current gap in stream safety for long-running sessions
Impact if Not Resolved
- Devices may overheat during streaming
- Increased risk of hardware damage on older phones
- Users remain unaware of unsafe thermal conditions until the device is already too hot
Priority
Critical / major. This was explicitly identified as a critical gap and grouped with other major issues requiring prompt resolution.
