Getting WebRTC error... "getUserMedia not available" with reverse proxy setup

[Mayank Aggarwal]

Hi,

I have setup a server with janus media gateway and I am trying to run the videoroom demo. I am getting WebRTC error... "getUserMedia not available" even when I have setup reverse proxy as described here https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/docs/deploy.html

In web application

var server = "/janus";

In apache config:

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
ProxyPass /janus http://127.0.0.1:8088/janus retry=0
ProxyPassReverse /janus http://127.0.0.1:8088/janus

I know that getUserMedia works with HTTPS, but it also works with localhost right (with HTTP)? I am using this url - http://10.6.245.190/myapp/index.html

Can someone point out what I am missing here?

Thanks,

Mayank

You can only do getUserMedia on https, and your page is on http.

Hi Lorenzo, 

Thanks for the response. Could you please tell me if this changed recently? I was able to do getUserMedia with HTTP 3 years ago. 

Thanks,

Mayank

It's been like that for a very long time. You can only use plain HTTP + gUM on localhost.

Hi Lorenzo,

I was able to fix the issue by adding the hostname of my server to the whitelist in chrome flags (add to whiltelist by opening chrome://flags and search for unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure.) Sharing this for the bigger audience here.
