Integrating WebRTC with Openfire XMPP server

[Manjunath Betadur]

I am working on an app where I am using Openfire XMPP server and want to support AV Conferencing feature, for which I want to use WebRTC. As, WebRTC needs some Signalling mechanism, I want to use XMPP itself for Signalling.
The app is going to be supported for iOS & Android. So, using XMPPFramework library for iOS and asmack library for Android.

So, basically here is the question :
- How to integrate WebRTC with Openfire server ? Like, is there any plugin kind of thing ?
- How to make Openfire work as signalling for WebRTC ? Are there any examples available ?
- Are there any existing apps that use XMPP + WebRTC for IM & AV Conferencing ? (I know Google Hangouts uses WebRTC but it also uses proprietary protocol for IM instead of XMPP)

Thanks,
Manju

have you seen the openfire version of Jitsi meet? https://community.igniterealtime.org/blogs/ignite/2014/05/01/jitsi-videobridge-ver-130

Note that you don't need any plugin to transport signalling over xmpp.

The interop demos from https://github.com/legastero/jingle-interop-demos should work with openfire from the browser.

I suspect it continues to use Jingle ;-)

We are doing almost exactly what you plan to do. We have it working across iOS<->iOS using data channels.

Instead of Openfire which is a horrible memory hog and not very actively maintained, we are using prosody which is generally well maintained and comes with many plugins.

As mentioned no plugin is required, just need to get things setup to send or receive signalling messages on the client side.

This example helped us:

https://github.com/YK-Unit/AppRTCDemo

We took that and made quite a few changes, we will also publish our code in about a month or two once our app is released.

Andy,

Do you really have to beat up Openfire in order to promote Prosody. When was the last time you visited igniterealtime.org or checked the openfire source code at GitHub.

WebRtc works perfectly with Openfire in both mesh multi/user and peer to peer using either Jingle or Rayo XMPP protocols for signalling.

Sorry, definately no intention to beat up on OpenFire.

It's definitely got the best admin UI of all the servers. There's many great things going for it.

For some reason (out of the box) I couldn't make it work with WebRTC, installing prosody it worked just fine, so I guess that's why I'm a little bit negative on it, but that's most likely just my inexperience at the time with configuration.

Andy,

We successfully use a customized version of ejabberd (for websockets) to do the signalling. Our app uses a HTML front end which speaks through libstrophe (through ejabberd) to each other. Works very well!

Thank you Philipp. It helped me dig more on this... :-)

Hi Faraz. Is there an example of the ejabberd && libstrophe solution? I would like to try it.

Thanks!!
