Requirement to build

• Gstreamer 1.19.2 - A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.
  1. Download Gstreamer package
  2. Download Gstreamer development package
  3. Once the installer is downloaded, install gstreamer to C:/ Drive.
• VB Cable - Create a fake audio device for audio capturing.
  1. Download VB Cable driver
  2. Restart your computer after install VC Cable driver, your VB Input audio enndpoint should be enabled
• Visual Studio - Build tool on window (2022 version is recommended).
  1. Download Visual Studio from Microsoft
  2. If your downloaded version is not preview/2022, please go to build.bat and change the path to vcvarsall.bat.

Client module

Client module is organize by platforms, each platform has their own techstack

• Window native application dashboard is run on electron, currently we have two core engine:
  • one based on Gstreamer multimedia framework
  • one based on core implementation of video decode on electron

(Note: only Window Gstreamer core engine implementation is capable of H265 video streaming)

• Progressive webapp hosted by Thinkmay server and can be run from any browser, however, the video and audio quality of chromium default decoder is much behind native application and is not recommended by us

Worker module

Worker module is the agent installed on worker node in order to allow it publicly accessible by user. It has three submodule with different role

• Agent submodule for session initialization
• Session core implement WebRTC
• Cluster module for managing worker cluster

Worker module is a window application written in C and based on Gstreamer multimedia framework

Test instruction

• Switch to development environment by set
  • development.h: DEVELOPMENT_ENVIRONMENT to TRUE
• Run client and worker build by run corresponding automated build bat file
  • ./build.bat
• Host signalling test server
  • cd test/Signalling
  • dotnet run .
• Run session-webrtc and remote-webrtc binary
  • worker/bin/session-webrtc.exe
  • client/bin/remote-webrtc.exe
