It poosible send text messages into video room?

[Gábor I]

Hi

I using video room plugin. How can i send text messages to joined room? I get "State change on data channel: closed " message in console.

I think missing "Janus started receiving our data" message because i missconfigure someone.

Thanks

You have to negotiate data channels when creating the offer/answer. See how the EchoTest and VideoCall demos do that.

Thanks. I forgot add data:true while creating the video room in js. Now works text send / receive. But .. it's seems complicate integrate (from, to) to video room plugin attributes -without direct modification (security reason)- in to video room plugin. I don't know C# programing. The video room plugin and text room is different.

[Lorenzo Miniero]

Yes, they are different. Data channels in VideoRoom are for simple publisher-to-all-viewers messages. If you need anything more complex than that, use the TextRoom instead.

TextRoom can't serve video and audio, it's true?

[Lorenzo Miniero]

Correct. Just use both plugins and have them take care of different things.

It would be spendthrift solution. User can connect twice for two different pluggin :-/

[Lorenzo Miniero]

Not sure wat you mean by spendthrift. We have multiple plugins exactly to address different features, rather than have a single monolithic that does everything. All of our applications use multiple plugins at the same time depending on what we need them to do.

Sorry for to many question. So you mean this?

var videoRoom;

var textRoom;

Janus.init({debug: 'all', callback: function(){

     videoroom = new Janus({
          server: 'https://xxx:8089/janus',
          success:function(){
                videoroom.attach({
                       plugin: "janus.plugin.videoroom"
                });
          },
     });
     textroom = new Janus({
          server: 'https://xxx:8089/janus',
          success:function(){
               textroom.attach({
                      plugin: "janus.plugin.videoroom"
               });
          },
     });

I added textroom witch different plugin handler name to my test page, but while i send "setup" to server, it's create new webrtc connection. So .. video and text using different peer connection. It's normal?

[Lorenzo Miniero]

Yes. Different plugins can't share peerconnections.
