Hello, is anyone able to stream from OBS-Webrtc (https://github.com/CoSMoSoftware/OBS-studio-webrtc) to the Janus video room demo? (https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/videoroomtest.html)

I would like to test this out, but every time I click 'start streaming' in OBS-WebRTC, it crashes instantly. I don't have another machine to test on right now. 

My OBS-WebRTC settings:
Service: Janus WebRTC Server
Server Name: wss://janus.conf.meetecho.com:8989
Server Room: 1234
Stream Key: null

I have also tried setting the server to ws://janus.conf.meetecho.com:8188
and the stream key I have entered random text or left blank, but nothing so far has worked - everything results in an instant crash of OBS-WebRTC.

But I'm wondering if things have changed since then... 

If this is not possible to do on the janus.conf.meetecho.com server, could someone let me know how I could do this on my own Janus server? I have it installed on Ubuntu at the moment. Ultimate use case is a 1 to 10 live broadcast (from OBS-WebRTC).

Thank you

Please use your own server for testing, NOT ours. That server is ONLY for testing the demos we ship online, and is not a resource anyone can (ab)use. If you keep on trying to do that, we'll be forced to shut it down for good, meaning there won't be any demo website for people interested in Janus.

Understood. My intention was only to see if streaming from OBS-WebRTC was possible so that I could narrow down the problem I'm having - not to use the meetecho server for anything more than 10 minutes. I have Janus installed on my own server with websockets enabled but I'm not a dev, so I'm trying to figure it out.

Try docker container to run janus server locally and use that instead for quick start you can use this.

Dear all,

I am using a Linux VM running inside VMWare Workstation installed on my Windows PC. I can run the demo successfully on the local VM, but from outside the VM, I cannot run the demo. I know it's because of the port forwarding problem. In the VMWare settings, I need to set up the port forwarding to access the internal VM's specific port. I set up some of the port forwardings, for example, 8080, to access the web server inside VM. But I believe that's not enough - there should be many other ports that need to be set up for the forwarding to make the demo working. My questions are:

1. What are those ports that I should set up for the forwarding so that I can access the demo running inside the VM?
2. If there are easier ways to set up the demo, what are they?

Thank you!

Well as i already said easiest way to setup janus server locally is by using docker about vm work station i m not quite sure if that supports guest-host port forwarding,
Assuming you are running linux machine on windows system what you can really do is setup docker on linux machine and try demo on linux machine itself,or maybe you can setup a cheap virtual machine on any cloud provider and run docker container there..
About on which ports default janus server run,
Http api runs on port 8088
Websocket runs on port 8188
Admin http api runs on port 7088
Admin websocket runs on port 7188

If you're using a modern Windows version it might be easier to run Janus in the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
