Synchronization Of Data With Video Using Webrtc

I'm using WebRTC to send video from a server to client browser (using the native WebRTC API and an MCU WebRTC server like Kurento). Before sending it to clients each frame of the v

Solution 1:

I suspect the amount of data per frame is fairly small. I would look at encoding it into a 2D barcode image and place it in each frame in a way so it is not removed by compression. Alternatively just encode timestamp like this.

Then on the player side you look at the image in a particular frame and get the data out or if it.

Solution 2:

Ok, first lets get the video and audio using getUserMedia and lets make it raw data using

https://github.com/streamproc/MediaStreamRecorder

:

/*
 *
 *  Video Streamer
 *
 */


<script src="https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com/MediaStreamRecorder.js"> </script>
<script>// FIREFOXvar mediaConstraints = {
    audio: !!navigator.mozGetUserMedia, // don't forget audio!video: true// don't forget video!
};

navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints, onMediaSuccess, onMediaError);

functiononMediaSuccess(stream) {
    var mediaRecorder = newMediaStreamRecorder(stream);
    mediaRecorder.mimeType = 'video/webm';
    mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function (blob) {
        // POST/PUT "Blob" using FormData/XHR2

    };
    mediaRecorder.start(3000);
}

functiononMediaError(e) {
    console.error('media error', e);
}
</script>// CHROMEvar mediaConstraints = {
    audio: true,
    video: true
};

navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints, onMediaSuccess, onMediaError);

functiononMediaSuccess(stream) {
    var multiStreamRecorder = newMultiStreamRecorder(stream);
    multiStreamRecorder.video = yourVideoElement; // to get maximum accuracy
    multiStreamRecorder.audioChannels = 1;
    multiStreamRecorder.ondataavailable = function (blobs) {
        // blobs.audio// blobs.video
    };
    multiStreamRecorder.start(3000);
}

functiononMediaError(e) {
    console.error('media error', e);
}

Now you can send the data through DataChannels and add your metadatas, in the receiver side:

/*
 *
 *  Video Receiver
 *
 */var ms = newMediaSource();

 var video = document.querySelector('video');
 video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(ms);

 ms.addEventListener('sourceopen', function(e) {
   var sourceBuffer = ms.addSourceBuffer('video/webm; codecs="vorbis,vp8"');
   sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(/* Video chunks here */);
 }, false);
