Open WebRTC Toolkit Media Server

The media server for OWT provides an efficient video conference and streaming service that is based on WebRTC. It scales a single WebRTC stream out to many endpoints. At the same time, it enables media analytics capabilities for media streams. It features:

  • Distributed, scalable, and reliable SFU + MCU server
  • High performance VP8, VP9, H.264, and HEVC real-time transcoding on Intel® Core™ and Intel® Xeon® processors
  • Wide streaming protocols support including WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP, HLS, MPEG-DASH
  • Efficient mixing of HD video streams to save bandwidth and power on mobile devices
  • Intelligent Quality of Service (QoS) control mechanisms that adapt to different network environments
  • Customer defined media analytics plugins to perform analytics on streams from MCU
  • The usage scenarios for real-time media stream analytics including but not limited to movement/object detection

How to install develop dependency

In the repository root, use one of following commands to install dependency.

  • Interactive mode: scripts/installDeps.sh
  • Non-interactive mode: scripts/installDepsUnattended.sh In interactive mode, you need type "yes" to continue installation several times and in non-interactive, the installation continues automatically.

How to build release package

Requirements

The media server can be built on following platforms:

  1. Ubuntu 18.04
  2. CentOS 7.6

Instructions

In the root of the repository:

  1. Build native components: scripts/build.js -t all --check.
  2. Pack built components and js files: scripts/pack.js -t all --install-module --sample-path ${webrtc-javascript-sdk-sample-conference-dist}.

The ${webrtc-javascript-sdk-sample-conference-dist} is built from owt-javascript-sdk, see https://github.com/open-webrtc-toolkit/owt-client-javascript for details.

If "--archive ${name}" option is appended to the pack command, a "Release-${name}.tgz" file will be generated in root folder. For other options, run the scripts with "--help" option.

Quic Start

In the repository root, run following commands to start media server on single machine:

  1. ./bin/init-all.sh --deps
  2. ./bin/start-all.sh
  3. Open https://localhost:3004 to visit the web sample page. Due to the test certificate, you may need confirm this unsafe access.
