Finally found some time to make my #WHEP client send an offer instead of waiting for one: may be helpful to others too, especially if GStreamer's whepsrc isn't an option yet (it isn't available on Fedora yet, for instance)
Small teaser of the #WHIP and #WHEP presentation I'll be making in a few hours at #TADSummit... if you want to see the rest, you'll have to tune in! See you at about 2pm Paris time!
October will be a busy but fun month for me: join me in Krakow for RTC.on (https://rtcon.live/), where I'll talk about #BWE (Bandwidth Estimation) and how I'm adding it to #Janus, and in Paris for TADSummit (https://tadsummit.com/2023/) where I'll talk about #WHIP, #WHEP and #WebRTC broadcasting!
@chiefgyk3d Standardized WebRTC-based streaming tools are just around the corner. #Twitch already has undocumented support for WHIP-ingestion and #OBS will have #WebRTC support through #WHIP in the next release. #WHEP for egress to viewers is what is still needing work in the ecosystem, but I see #selfhosted ultra low-latency streams being feasible in the near future.
Since I had to do quite some work on #Janus due to the many changes in the new #WHEP draft, I thought I'd write a new blog post to summarize what's new in the spec, and what we did as a result. If you don't know much about #WHIP, #WHEP, or #WebRTC broadcasting, hopefully the blog post will help shed some light on that too.
Hope you'll enjoy it, boosts welcome!
#fosdem happened. And I got the chance to speak in front of the Open Media dev room about WHIP and WHEP.
Time for @danjenkins to do his magic, and talk about #webrtc for broadcasting purposes using #WHIP and #WHEP (and #WHOA ) #openmedia #fosdem #fosdem23
Shameless plug - I'll be on Cloudflare TV later ( 4.30 - 5.00 UTC) https://cloudflare.tv/event/PZ5wXGv2 talking about WebRTC
That presentation only covered #WHIP, but provided some context on how to handle distribution of media streams on a larger scale via #webrtc as well. #WHEP is a more recent proposal, that I recently covered in a blog post:
https://www.meetecho.com/blog/whip-whep/
For both protocols there are open source implementations (including some of my own), so if you're interested in the possibilities there's plenty of ways to play with them!
I haven't seen any #webrtc post so far, so I thought I'd contribute one myself, since it's what I work on everyday.
These are exciting times for this technology, especially if you're interested in large scale #broadcasting, as the IETF is actively working on standardizing protocols for that, and will have a meeting later this week:
#WHIP → ingestion (replaces RTMP)
#WHEP → distribution (replaces HLS/Dash)
If you want to learn more, I made a presentation at #fosdem2022:
