OvenLiveKit for Web

What is OvenLiveKit for Web?

OvenLiveKit for Web is a JavaScript-based Live Streaming Encoder that supports WebRTC optimized for OvenMediaEngine, Sub-Second Latency Streaming Server. OvenLiveKit for Web relies on the browser's WebRTC API and wraps it to make it easy for you to broadcast WebRTC streams to OvenMediaEngine.

Demo

OvenSpace is a sub-second latency streaming demo service using OvenMediaEngine, OvenPlayer and OvenLiveKit. You can experience OvenLiveKit in the OvenSpace Demo and see examples of how it can be applied in the OvenSpace Repository.

Features

Streaming to OvenMediaEngine's WebRTC Provider.
- Implement OvenMediaEngine's signaling protocol
Built-in Device Capture.
Set the Quality of the Input Stream.

Quick Start

OvenLiveKit Demo

Getting started

This is the simplest example of sending a device media stream such as a webcam to OvenMediaEngine's WebRTC Provider.

// Initialize OvenLiveKit
const ovenLivekit = OvenLiveKit.create();

// Get media stream from user device
ovenLivekit.getUserMedia().then(function () {

    // Got device stream and start streaming to OvenMediaEngine
    ovenLivekit.startStreaming('wss://your_oven_media_engine:3334/app/stream?direction=send');
});

// Or you can get media stream of your display. Choose either user device or display.
ovenLivekit.getDisplayMedia().then(function () {

    // Got device stream and start streaming to OvenMediaEngine
    ovenLivekit.startStreaming('wss://your_oven_media_engine:3334/app/stream?direction=send');
});

`OvenLiveKit.create(config)`

parameters
- config: Initialization configurations.
Initialize OvenLiveKit instance. Please see the configuration details next.

`Configurations`

To make the library lightweight and easy to use, only callback options are implemented now.

`callbacks.error`

type
- Function
parameters
- error: Various Type of Error
A callback that receives any errors that occur in an instance of OvenLiveKit.
Errors are could occur from getUserMedia, getDisplayMedia, webSocket, or peerConnection.

`callbacks.connected`

type
- Function
parameters
- event: event object of iceconnectionstatechange
This is a callback that occurs when the RTCPeerConnection.iceConnectionState becomes connected.
It means that the media stream is being transmitted normally to OvenMediaEngine's WebRTC Provider.

`callbacks.connectionClosed`

type
- Function
parameters
- type: (ice | websocket) Notes which connection is closed.
- event: event object of iceconnectionstatechange or websocket
A callback that is fired when the websocket's onclose event occurs, or when RTCPeerConnection.iceConnectionState changes to failed, disconnected, or closed.
It may be that the media stream is not being sent normally to OvenMediaEngine.

`callbacks.iceStateChange`

type
- Function
parameters
- event: event object of iceconnectionstatechange
A callback that fires whenever RTCPeerConnection.iceConnectionState changes.
This is useful when checking the current streaming status.

`instance.remove()`

Release all resources(websocket, peerconnection, mediastream) and destroy the instance.

Input device listing

OvenLiveKit provides an API to get a list of user devices for convenience.

// Lists the available media input and output devices
OvenLiveKit.getDevices().then(function (devices) {

    // Got a list of user devices
    console.log(devices);

    /*
    console output is

    {
        "videoinput": [
            {
                "deviceId": "b1ab3a7041b1c9a91037b51d9c380f599f3914297b5c0ce2eb8d385dab3b8812",
                "label": "c922 Pro Stream Webcam (046d:085c)"
            }
        ],
        "audioinput": [
            {
                "deviceId": "default",
                "label": "default - Microphone(C922 Pro Stream Webcam) (046d:085c)"
            },
            {
                "deviceId": "communications",
                "label": "Communication - Microphone(C922 Pro Stream Webcam) (046d:085c)"
            },
            {

                "label": "Headphone(2- Xbox Controller) (045e:02f6)"
            },
        ],
        "other": []
    }
    */

}).catch(function (error) {

    // Failed to get a list of user devices
    console.log(error);
});

`OvenLiveKit.getDevices()`

This static method lists the available media input and output devices, such as microphones, cameras, headsets, and so forth.
videoinput, audioinput, audiooutput, other is available input/output devices. You can use deviceId to specify a device to streaming or label to make device selection UI.

Media APIs

OvenLiveKit also provides APIs to control a media stream from a user device.

<video id="myVideo"></video>

// Create instance
const ovenLivekit = OvenLiveKit.create();

// Attaching video element for playing device stream
ovenLivekit.attachMedia(document.getElementById('myVideo'));

const constraint = {
  audio: true,
  video: true
};

// Gets a device stream with a constraint that specifies the type of media to request.
ovenLivekit.getUserMedia(constraints).then(function (stream) {

    // Got device stream. Ready for streaming.
     ovenLivekit.startStreaming('wss://your_oven_media_engine:3334/app/stream?direction=send');
}).catch(function (error) {

    // Failed to get device stream.
    console.error("Error", error);
});

// Display media also works in the same way.
ovenLivekit.getDisplayMedia(constraints).then(function (stream) {

    // Got device stream. Ready for streaming.
     ovenLivekit.startStreaming('wss://your_oven_media_engine:3334/app/stream?direction=send');
}).catch(function (error) {

    // Failed to get device stream.
    console.error("Error", error);
});

`instance.attachMedia(videoElement)`

parameters
- videoElement: HTML <video> element
If the video element is attached, when the media stream is received from the user device, it starts playing in the automatically set video element.
This can be useful when previewing the media stream you want to stream.

`instance.getUserMedia(constraints)`

parameters
- constraints: MediaStreamConstraints dictionary. If not set the optimal input that the browser thinks is selected.
returns Promise
- resolved
  - stream: MediaStream. You can use this stream for whatever you need.
- rejected
  - error: Throws error while getting the stream from the user device.
This API is the most important API in OvenLiveKit. Make the OvenLiveKit streamable by getting the media stream from the user input device. You can get the media stream from any user input device you want using the constraints parameter. The device ID to be used in the constraints parameter can also be obtained from OvenLiveKit.getDevices().
For natural behavior, you can have the browser automatically select the device stream without passing a constraints parameter. However, if you want to control the device stream strictly (e.g., specify input devices, video resolution, video frame rates), you can control it by passing the constraints parameter.

`instance.getDisplayMedia(constraints)`

parameters
- constraints: MediaStreamConstraints
returns Promise
- resolved
  - stream: MediaStream. You can use this stream for whatever you need.
- rejected
  - error: Throws error while getting the stream from the display.
Captures the entire screen, application window, or browser tab.

`instance.setMediaStream(stream)`

parameters
- stream: MediaStream - The valid MediaStream you want OvenLiveKit to utilize.
returns Promise
- resolved
  - stream: MediaStream - Returns the same stream provided as an input, confirming its successful attachment.
- rejected
  - error: Throws an error if an invalid MediaStream is provided.
The setMediaStream function is designed to let developers directly attach an external or pre-existing MediaStream. This can be particularly useful when you're sourcing the stream not directly from user input devices, but other origins.

Streaming APIs

Congrats on getting the media stream from the user device and then ready to stream into OvenMediaEngine.

// Create instance
const ovenLivekit = OvenLiveKit.create();

ovenLivekit.getUserMedia().then(function () {

    const connectionConfig = {
        iceServers : null ,
        iceTransportPolicy: null,
        maxBitrate: null
    }

    // Got media stream from user device and start to stream to OvenMedieEngeine
    ovenLivekit.startStreaming(connectionUrl, connectionConfig);
});

`instance.startStreaming(connectionUrl, connectionConfig)`

parameters
- connectionUrl: The connection URL to OvenMediaEngine is explained here.
- connectionConfig: See ConnectionConfig details next.
When this API is called, the media stream starts to be streamed according to OvenMediaEngine's signaling protocol.

`ConnectionConfig`

`preferredVideoFormat`

type
- String: Video codec name (eq. H256, VP8)
If set the specified codec will be preferred if available.

`iceServers`

type
- RTCConfiguration.iceServers
If set use the set STUN and TURN servers.

`iceTransportPolicy`

type
- RTCConfiguration.iceTransportPolicy
If set use the set ice policy.

`maxVideoBitrate`

type
- Number: Unit is Kbps.
If set limits max bitrates of streaming to OvenMediaEngine.

`sdp.appendFmtp`

type
- String: String you want to append to a=fmtp of SDP.
If set video format is appended to the a=fmtp sections of SDP.

`instance.stopStreaming()`

Close peer connection and websocket associated with OvenMediaEngine.
