webrtc-streamer and janus video rooms

[aset...@gmail.com]

I am curious if anyone on this meetecho-janus-list has used webrtc-streamer (https://github.com/mpromonet/webrtc-streamer) which is a novel project that makes a remote v4l2 camera or rtsp video feed accessible as a PeerConnection video source. It works very well in a browser context since webrtc-streamer has a built-in http server to activate the peer connection.

Seems like with some modifications, it is a handy way for a remote camera thing to serve as a publisher into a janus video room as a webrtc video source.

Please share any experiences with webrtc-streamer or similar projects as I am considering embarking on this task.

UV4L can turn any MJPEG stream (e.g. from an IP Camera) into an input video device. This will make the original source work with all the WebRTC-related functionalities supported UV4L, including Janus videorooms out-of-the-box:

Thanks @Webmaster. I am going to give UV4L a whirl. Is any of the source code for UV4L advanced linux projects available to view so I understand how the publishing from rasperry pi to Janus video rooms is implemented? Are there any other open source projects written in C/C++ that communicate with janus videoroom via a PeerConnection?

I assume these links are your tutorials @Webmaster. I loaded your pre-cooked raspberry pi image and was able to publish a raspicam into a janus videoroom

yes, the links pointed out are the tutorials about UV4L and Janus

Hi,

I published a simple javascript that join to a janus room and publish some webrtc-streamer streams https://github.com/mpromonet/webrtc-streamer/blob/master/html/janusvideoroom.js.
You can test it live application deployed on heroku https://webrtc-streamer.herokuapp.com/janusvideoroom.html that could publish stream to live application https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/videoroomtest.html .

Best Regards,

Michel.
