How to use WebRTC with a custom video stream

[Chris]

Hi,

I would like to know how to create a remote custom media stream via
WebRTC ?
What I am trying to do is to encode a video stream that will be sent
from the server to a webbrowser through WebRTC but the video stream is
not a simple video, it's built "real-time" depending on client
requests.
The streaming requires low latency so that the <video> tag is not an
option for me.

The current sample only uses local stream from webcam or other device
so I was wondering what API should be used for other content type.

Thanks

Sorry for digging this up, but I have the same question.

I have a service that generates video data on the fly, which I want to send to clients.

I assume one would have to build a complete WebRTC client on the server that behaves like any other browser client, somehow feeding the image data to it?

Or is there a way to open plain remote RTP streams using the WebRTC browser API?

Thanks,

Jan

Hi Jan, Chris,

As mentioned in some of the earlier threads, we are focused on 2-way browser to browser communications. Therefore we will not be of much help at this time for your particular use case. But there might be other developers in this forum who have gotten further in these pursuits and hopefully they will be able to provide further guidance.

The approach that others are using is to compile the WebRTC+libjingle code (i.e. peerconnection) as a server module and integrating it into a C++ server. Then, you can create a VideoSource that you feed with your own generated frames.

You may also be able to do this using the PeerConnection.java Java bindings.
