  • record mediasoup RTP stream using FFmpeg for Firefox

    30 juillet 2024, par Hadi Aghandeh

    I am trying to record WebRTC stream using mediasoup. I could record successfully on chrome and safari 13/14/15. However on Firefox the does not work.

    


    Client side code is a vue js component which gets rtp-compabilities using socket.io and create producers after the server creates the transports. This works good on chrome and safari.

    


    const { connect , createLocalTracks } = require('twilio-video');
const SocketClient = require("socket.io-client");
const SocketPromise = require("socket.io-promise").default;
const MediasoupClient = require("mediasoup-client");

export default {
    data() {

    FFmpeg says dimensions not  set and Could not write header for output file when I use Firefox. This might be enough for understanding the problem, but if you need more information you can read how server side is performing.
Server-Side in summary can be something like this :
lets say we initialized worker and router at run time using following functions.

    


        // Start the mediasoup workers
module.exports.initializeWorkers = async () => {
  const { logLevel, logTags, rtcMinPort, rtcMaxPort } = config.worker;

  console.log('initializeWorkers() creating %d mediasoup workers', config.numWorkers);

  for (let i = 0; i < config.numWorkers; ++i) {
    const worker = await mediasoup.createWorker({
      logLevel, logTags, rtcMinPort, rtcMaxPort
    });

    worker.once('died', () => {
      console.error('worker::died worker has died exiting in 2 seconds... [pid:%d]', worker.pid);
      setTimeout(() => process.exit(1), 2000);
    });

    workers.push(worker);
  }
};


    


    module.exports.createRouter = async () => {
  const worker = getNextWorker();

  console.log('createRouter() creating new router [worker.pid:%d]', worker.pid);

  console.log(`config.router.mediaCodecs:${JSON.stringify(config.router.mediaCodecs)}`)

  return await worker.createRouter({ mediaCodecs: config.router.mediaCodecs });
};


    


    We pass router.rtpCompatibilities to the client. clients get the rtpCompatibilities and create a device and loads it. after that a transport must be created at server side.

    


        const handleCreateTransportRequest = async (jsonMessage) => {

  const transport = await createTransport('webRtc', router);

  var peer;
  try {peer = peers.get(jsonMessage.sessionId);}
  catch{console.log('peer not found')}
  
  peer.addTransport(transport);

  peer.socket.emit('create-transport',{
    id: transport.id,
    iceParameters: transport.iceParameters,
    iceCandidates: transport.iceCandidates,
    dtlsParameters: transport.dtlsParameters
  });
};


    


    Then after the client side also created the transport we listen to connect event an at the time of event, we request the server to create connection.

    


    const handleTransportConnectRequest = async (jsonMessage) => {
  var peer;
  try {peer = peers.get(jsonMessage.sessionId);}
  catch{console.log('peer not found')}

  if (!peer) {
    throw new Error(`Peer with id ${jsonMessage.sessionId} was not found`);
  }

  const transport = peer.getTransport(jsonMessage.transportId);

  if (!transport) {
    throw new Error(`Transport with id ${jsonMessage.transportId} was not found`);
  }

  await transport.connect({ dtlsParameters: jsonMessage.dtlsParameters });
  console.log('handleTransportConnectRequest() transport connected');
  peer.socket.emit('connect-transport');
};


    


    Similar thing happen on produce event.

    


    const handleProduceRequest = async (jsonMessage) => {
  console.log('handleProduceRequest [data:%o]', jsonMessage);

  var peer;
  try {peer = peers.get(jsonMessage.sessionId);}
  catch{console.log('peer not found')}

  if (!peer) {
    throw new Error(`Peer with id ${jsonMessage.sessionId} was not found`);
  }

  const transport = peer.getTransport(jsonMessage.transportId);

  if (!transport) {
    throw new Error(`Transport with id ${jsonMessage.transportId} was not found`);
  }

  const producer = await transport.produce({
    kind: jsonMessage.kind,
    rtpParameters: jsonMessage.rtpParameters
  });

  peer.addProducer(producer);

  console.log('handleProducerRequest() new producer added [id:%s, kind:%s]', producer.id, producer.kind);

  peer.socket.emit('produce',{
    id: producer.id,
    kind: producer.kind
  });
};


    


    For Recording, first I create plain transports for audio and video producers.

    


    const rtpTransport = router.createPlainTransport(config.plainRtpTransport);


    


    then rtp transport must be connected to ports :

    


      await rtpTransport.connect({
    ip: '127.0.0.1',
    port: remoteRtpPort,
    rtcpPort: remoteRtcpPort
  });


    


    Then the consumer must also be created.

    


      const rtpConsumer = await rtpTransport.consume({
    producerId: producer.id,
    rtpCapabilities,
    paused: true
  });


    


    After that we can start recording using following code :

    


     this._rtpParameters = args;
    this._process = undefined;
    this._observer = new EventEmitter();
    this._peer = args.peer;

    this._sdpString = createSdpText(this._rtpParameters);
    this._sdpStream = convertStringToStream(this._sdpString);
    // create dir
    const dir = process.env.REOCRDING_PATH ?? 'storage/recordings';
    if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) shelljs.mkdir('-p', dir);
  
    this._extension = 'webm';
    // create file path
    this._path = `${dir}/${args.peer.sessionId}.${this._extension}`
    let loop = 0;
    while(fs.existsSync(this._path)) {
      this._path = `${dir}/${args.peer.sessionId}-${++loop}.${this._extension}`
    }

this._recordingnModel = await Recording.findOne({sessionIds: { $in: [this._peer.sessionId] }})
    this._recordingnModel.files.push(this._path);
    this._recordingnModel.save();

let proc  = ffmpeg(this._sdpStream)
    .inputOptions([
      '-protocol_whitelist','pipe,udp,rtp',
      '-f','sdp',
    ])
    .format(this._extension)
    .output(this._path)
    .size('720x?')
    .on('start', ()=>{
      this._peer.socket.emit('recording');
    })
    .on('end', ()=>{
      let path = this._path.replace('storage/recordings/', '');
      this._peer.socket.emit('recording-closed', {
        url: `${process.env.APP_URL}/recording/file/${path}`
      });
    });

    proc.run();
    this._process =  proc;
  }



    


  • popen returns output after delay ?

    7 février 2013, par Scarface

    I am executing FFMPEG with popen() to get the result of the process. The main reason I am doing this is so I can stream constant output and build a progress bar.

    The issue is that the process starts and I receive some initial information. The rest of the information does not appear until after the process is done however. So essentially, the rest of the output (output on the progress) which comes on intervals when the process is going is delayed right before the process and all comes at once after the process is done which is useless.

    I need the output to constantly come so I can update a progress bar. If I change 2>&1 to 2> stderr.txt that text file receives output consistently but I would like to receive in php since many processes may be running. Anyone have any ideas on solving this ? It seems noone can figure this out...and it is driving me crazy ! IF anyone helps me figure this out (and actually solve it), I will start a bounty and then accept their answer.

    $handle = popen ('/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i /home/g/Desktop/cave.wmv -deinterlace -acodec libfaac -ab 96k -ar 44100 -vcodec libx264 -s 480x320 -f flv /home/g/Desktop/file.flv 2>&1', 'r');
    
if ($handle) {
    

    
    while(! feof ($handle)) {
    

    
echo $read = fgets ($handle);
    

    
ob_flush();
    
    flush();
    
    } 
    
    pclose ($handle);
    
}

  • Error transcoding with FFmpeg : Error : Output format hls is not available

    6 mai 2024, par asif mohmd

    I am using FFmpeg library to transcode a video file into multiple resolutions and create an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) master playlist.

    


    It takes a video file as input but its does give me the output with HLS playlist.I got a error called "Output format hls is not available". Only the Output directory is creating

    


    I am using FFMpeg 7.0 full build version and also tried older versions and ffmpeg essentials and also tried chocolatey.

    


    if i remove the implementation of HLS from this code.it will create 4 different resolution videos in my output.

    


    Note:I just tried this same code on my friend MAC Book by only changing the setffmpegPath : "ffmpeg.setFfmpegPath("C :\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe") ;" to his ffmpeg directory.
Its working perfectly in his mac book

    I am using Windows 11 and FFMpeg version 7.0. I repeatedly checked, using CMD commands, that my FFMpeg was installed correctly and confirmed the environment variables path, experimented with various FFMpeg versions, and tried with FFMpeg full build Chocolatey package.

    &#xA;

    In Command Line its working perfectly :
