Sebastian Dröge 23d998a1db Slightly improve code making use of element factories retrieved from an element
We can use `is_some_and(...)` instead of `map_or(false, ...)`.

Also in a few places the factory was retrieved multiple times, one time
with unwrapping and another time with handling the `None` case
correctly. Instead of unwrapping, move code to handle the `None` case.

webrtcsink examples

Collection of webrtcsink examples

webrtcsink-stats-server

A simple application that instantiates a webrtcsink and serves stats over websockets.

The application expects a signalling server to be running at ws://localhost:8443, similar to the usage example in the main README.

cargo run --example webrtcsink-stats-server

Once it is running, follow the instruction in the webrtcsink-stats folder to run an example client.

webrtcsink-custom-signaller

An example of custom signaller implementation, see the corresponding README for more details on code and usage.

WebRTC precise synchronization example

This example demonstrates a sender / receiver setup which ensures precise synchronization of multiple streams in a single session.

RFC 6051-style rapid synchronization of RTP streams is available as an option. Se the Instantaneous RTP synchronization... blog post for details about this mode and an example based on RTSP instead of WebRTC.

The examples can also be used for RFC 7273 NTP or PTP clock signalling and synchronization.

Signaller

The example uses the default WebRTC signaller. Launch it using the following command:

cargo run --bin gst-webrtc-signalling-server

Receiver

The receiver awaits for new audio & video stream publishers and render the streams using auto sink elements. Launch it using the following command:

cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-recv

The default configuration should work for a local test. For a multi-host setup, see the available options:

cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-recv -- --help

E.g.: the following will force avdec_h264 over hardware decoders, activate debug logs for the receiver and connect to the signalling server at the specified address:

GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=avdec_h264:MAX \
WEBRTC_PRECISE_SYNC_RECV_LOG=debug \
cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-recv -- --server 192.168.1.22

Sender

The sender publishes audio & video test streams. Launch it using the following command:

cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-send

The default configuration should work for a local test. For a multi-host setup, to set the number of audio / video streams, to enable rapid synchronization or to force the video encoder, see the available options:

cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-send -- --help

E.g.: the following will force H264 and x264enc over hardware encoders, activate debug logs for the sender and connect to the signalling server at the specified address:

GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=264enc:MAX \
WEBRTC_PRECISE_SYNC_SEND_LOG=debug \
cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-send -- \
  --server 192.168.1.22 --video-caps video/x-h264

The pipeline latency

The --pipeline-latency argument configures a static latency of 1s by default. This needs to be higher than the sum of the sender latency and the receiver latency of the receiver with the highest latency. As this can't be known automatically and depends on many factors, this has to be known for the overall system and configured accordingly.

The default configuration is on the safe side and favors synchronization over low latency. Depending on the use case, shorter or larger values should be used.

RFC 7273 NTP or PTP clock signalling and synchronization

For RFC 7273 NTP or PTP clock signalling and synchronization, you can use commands such as:

Receiver

cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-recv -- --expect-clock-signalling

Sender

cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-send -- --clock ntp --do-clock-signalling \
  --video-streams 0 --audio-streams 2

Android

webrtcsrc based Android application

An Android demonstration application which retrieves available producers from the signaller and renders audio and video streams.

Important: in order to ease testing, this demonstration application enables unencrypted network communication. See app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml for details.

Build the application

  • Download the latest Android prebuilt binaries from: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/
  • Uncompress / untar the package, e.g. under /opt/android/.
  • Define the GSTREAMER_ROOT_ANDROID environment variable with the directory chosen at previous step.
  • Install a recent version of Android Studio (tested with 2023.3.1.18).
  • Open the project from the folder android/webrtcsrc.
  • Have Android Studio download and install the required SDK & NDK.
  • Click the build button or build and run on the target device.
  • The resulting apk is generated under: android/webrtcsrc/app/build/outputs/apk/debug.

For more details, refer to:

Once the SDK & NDK are installed, you can use gradlew to build and install the apk (make sure the device is visible from adb):

# From the android/webrtcsrc directory
./gradlew installDebug

Install the application

Prerequisites: activate developer mode on the target device.

There are several ways to install the application:

  • The easiest is to click the run button in Android Studio.
  • You can also install the apk using adb.

Depending on your host OS, you might need to define udev rules. See: https://github.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rules

Setup

  1. Run the Signaller from the gst-plugins-rs root directory:
    cargo run --bin gst-webrtc-signalling-server
    
  2. In the Android app, tap the 3 dots button -> Settings and edit the Signaller URI.
  3. Add a producer, e.g. using gst-launch & webrtcsink or run:
    cargo r --example webrtc-precise-sync-send
    
  4. Click the Refresh button on the Producer List view of the app.
