Answer 2

This question is similar to the issue I am facing: 
https://answers.easyar.com/14564/critical-bug-in-easyar-lib-on-android

Basically, video streaming doesn't work consistently on Android devices.
Looks like EasyAR doesn't care to respond to errors which they have in their library or example projects.

@artechlearn did you manage to resolve the issue? I would very much appreciate any help.
