easyrtc multyparty don't work anymore

[Primo Levi]

I have used for a lot of time this software at home without problem, now I recieve a black screen from peers if they are not part of my lan.

I have also tried to use open easyrtc but I'm not able to start the server.

The software is installed in Win 10 Pro updated, Node 5.3.

This configuration was definitely working until a year ago. For about a year I didn't need it so I don't know when it stopped working

Thanks in advance

I'm starting a new project using open-easyrtc, but I have a feeling maybe it will have similar problems. Are the peers able to negotiate a connection? Is it a signalling problem? I had similar issues in the past; sometimes it worked for some clients on some networks, but not on others. Maybe a TURN/STUN server would help?

Maybe a TURN/STUN server would help?

This is also my opinion, I can join the room send messages but I cannot see or hear the others partecipants if they are not part of my lan.

My problem is that my knowledge is limited and I'm not able to set TURN/STUN server. Could someone help me with step by step instructions.

Thanks a lot

Sorry, my knowledge is limited too. It does sound like firewall rules on those networks are not allowing the video and audio, so STUN or TURN would help. 

There is a nice introduction near the end about ICE (TURN and STUN):

https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webrtc/infrastructure/

EasyRTC includes a demo that shows using easyrtc.setIceUsedInCalls(iceServerList) to set a list of STUN and TURN servers (demos/demo_ice_filter.html, the code: https://github.com/open-easyrtc/open-easyrtc/blob/master/demos/js/demo_ice_filter.js)

Running your own STUN server sounds doable, but probably more work than you want. TURN sounds like too much work and expensive (sounds like needs hefty infrastructure to relay multimedia content).

Alternatively, there are some public STUN servers you can use. There are some lists that may be helpful:

I may need to try this soon, but I have to deal with other priorities now. Please share if you make any progress!

Cheers,
