Currently, we have our stable build of Jitsi-Meet, then customized it & added some new features for our target customers. Now we are planning to integrate the Livestream feature into our application. We have found out that Jitsi uses an internal feature called Jibri to record and stream simultaneously but we are looking for alternative solutions other than Jibri.
If there's any method to Livestream internally in our application please let us know
thanks in advance...
For your requirement and if you don't wanna use jibri you may have to change in jitsi-videobridge codes where you have to add your own logic for sending streams to both end users and livestream server.
But from my knowledge, there is no alternative or better pre-built solution (till today) for this other than jibri and unfortunately we also use jibri for recording in our build. Thanks..!
And you can discuss jitsi related topics in https://community.jitsi.org where you will be able to get help/advice from much more experienced jitsi enthusiasts.

Hello, I am looking for a way to forward my live stream from my server to another server, for example, Facebook via rtmp.
the structure would be something like:
My cam -> my server -> other server rtmp -> viewers
My intention is to capture the transmission and forward it to many rtmp servers to consume the server's resources and not the client's resources, I don't have much knowledge in video transmissions, if it is possible to do it via nodejs it would be great, thanks
I have searched for SFU and other ways that are possible, but I want to have several alternatives and find the most ideal to implement it in production
I never did it myself, so I can't recommend the best way to do it.
After some research, if you want to stay with nodejs, I personallly recommend Mediasoup.
It is a powerfull SFU developed in c++ which provided really good bindings with nodejs. All the heavy process is done in c++ and the nodejs API call a child process where the c++ mediasoup worker runs on it. You only have to care about the nodejs API nothing else.
With mediasoup it should not be too difficult to get your stream on the nodejs server.
After that, for transmitting you stream to a rtmp server, it seems you can call ffmpeg in a child process to transfer it from your nodejs server to a rtmp server.
I found two github projects with this kind of approach.
The first one is a bit outdated, using an old mediasoup version but maybe you can find something interesting. Specially for the client/browser part, you have an HTML file that should be helpfull. Be aware the API for Mediasoup may have changed, both the front and the back.
EDIT : The first project does not use Mediasoup client library, you can look at it here
The second is more recent and really seems to match your need, maybe you will need some cutomization. But they don't provide any front end part.
For mediasoup, you will find a lot of ressources over the internet, github, youtube for the client/server part.
If you want to look at it, the installation guide for the Mediasoup v3 (last) version. You have to install a python specific version and set few environment variables. After that you can install the npm package and happy coding !
It is easier to install on linux, so if you are on windows, preferably use WSL2 for testing. I don't know anything about Mac, but I know docker is possible, so should be good too.
A lot simpler option to stream your webcam to other servers will be to use OBS studio, but you must have already considered it
They have a plug in that permits to send your stream to multiple platform at once, looks really cool ! Here
Hope it can give you some more options !
I want to build a one to many users streaming app where admin can stream video and users can view that video in live. I have to use node.js. which is best approach and what are good tools for that.
Does using webrtc one to many affect performance at large scale?
Suggestions please...
Thanks
given my extensive experience in the subject and the use of many WebRTC libraries, I would recommend that you use an SFU or MCU where you can cover high-level conferences on a large scale, I do not recommend the use of WebRTC one to one due to you'll no doubt have a lot of performance issues.
My recommendation is that you use an SFU or MCU library, for example:
https://github.com/livekit/livekit
LiveKit is easy to use, great scalability (depends on your server), it has tools to measure the server so you know if you need a better one, it also has many server-side and client-side SDKs such as: Javascript, ReactNative, Flutter, Android and Server Side: PHP, Nodejs, Etc.
It also allows you to have total control of the room, who can enter a room, who can broadcast, etc.
I hope my answer helps you.
I am very new to webrtc, I am slightly confused about it.
I am able to do one-to-one video/audio call using node.js, but still confused is it possible to check how long two people had talked?
If yes, please guide me.
If not then what is the best way to monitor call length? (I don't want to record audio or video, just the length).
Thanks in Advance.
Are you using nodejs as your socket server, or as the actual endpoints? Last I checked webrtc didn't have a native nodejs interface but you could use one of the available NPM modules.
It's always possible to track from the app side. Get the time at the start, get the time at the end and report that to your server. The WebRTC api for iOS, Android, and JS has a GetStats api you can call during or after a session to get this information as well. AppRTC has examples on how to do that.
I need to write own video hosting with player on client side.
My required approaches:
The user can upload video to hosting
The user can watch any video from hosting
I don't ask to write me solution, I am asking for help where should I start from to lean about it? Which technologies or frameworks should I learn for my task to realize it using python?
P.S. Each detail will be very useful, especially some links to articles because I couldn't find by myself not knowing accurately what do I need to search.

Now, I think to store videos in the file system directly and use postgresql to store additional information about videos and users. Of course, large services use Hadoop, BigTable and etc but for my task so solution will be enough I think.
When the user uploaded a new video, my server saves it into a temporary directory and puts in the processing queue. Small programs takes new videos one by one, generates thumbnails and decrease a quality of videos and moves it to the base storage. Is it a good idea?
But I still can't get how make a video streaming
Ok So I dont want to encourage the behavior of people thinking SO is a codewriting service, But this is a truly legitimate answer. So first of all, you want to choose a language. Currently I'd recommend the use of javascript and Node.js (Java needs to die). However, IDK Node as well as I know Python. Python is an all purpose language yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah. Whats important in this case is your framework of choice (or library). The libraries that allow you to make websites in python (or make it easier to do so) are very interesting. There are several but my favorite is Python Flask. Python flask is actually very similar to Node.js + Express.js. Use this link to get started. Take a few days to learn the insides of this framework. VERY MODULAR, VERY POWERFUL. Using basing logic and database knowledge, one can easily accomplish a simple file upload and authentication-using, web service. However I Know of 2 really good guides that will help you with the streaming of the videos. I mean yes, You don't really need to know this. You could potentially load the requested video using a <video> tag, but streaming is a much MUCH
more favorable solution. Take some time to learn about video streaming and compression, and after you think about it, check out these links: AUDIO STREAMING GIST and MIGUEL GRINBERG FLASK VIDEO STREAMING BLOG POST
Good luck with flask and
Pro tip: learn about http(s) and the get and post methods
You would never imagine how many times I struggled with a bad request error or a method not allowed because I didn't do my research
I have a telephony scenario in which the following happens:
Customer calls a Voice Gateway
TCL script runs and a code is taken from customer
Authentication is done through a RADIUS server
Customer will hear correct voice menu
The problem is that RADIUS server must connect to a SQL Database and check the credentials. I have currently designed the solution using cisco secure ACS and through managed stored procedures on MS SQL server.
My question is: Is the VoiceXML a better tool to do this job and because some extenstions and wrappers of VoiceXML exists in .net, does it fit in this simple scenario??
Sincerely speaking, I am a little confisued with the technology and looking for a good tutorial on its features as well.
Thanks
In a strict sense, only step 4 is implemented by VoiceXML. Other aspects are handled by the platform or external code. VoiceXML is the standards mechanism for implementing step 4, but if all you are going to do is limited audio output and simple input, it may be overkill depending on the solutions available to you.
The following is just an example of a way to solve your problem and is fairly fictitious given I don't know anything about your environment nor constraints.
Given most VoiceXML platforms, upon receiving of a call your VoiceXML application will be executed. If this is a servlet/ASP based solution, you can perform steps 2 & 3 then generate/return the VoiceXML to play the menu, gather the input and move to the next step. If this is a static VoiceXML 2.1 solution, you can use a Data element call to make an HTTP request to a system that can perform these actions. The system will need to return XML that the Javascript/ECMAScript in VoiceXML application can parse and provide the correct audio output and input processing.
Since you are asking about VoiceXML, I'm assuming your challenge is the telephony aspect of the problem. Unless you have a system already available, choosing and activating a premise or hosted solution is far more complicated than the call flow code involved. Depending on your requirements, there are solutions as low as a single line, analog modem that supports audio output and DTMF input to massively scaled on premise and hosted solutions to handle 10,000s of concurrent calls that implement VoiceXML as well as a wide range of other call flow technologies.
VoiceXML would work fine in this scenario. There is a an open source project called VoiceModel that uses ASP.NET MVC to generate the VoiceXML and therefore integrates nicely with the .NET stack. There are a lot of examples in the project with discussions on how to use the examples in this blog. The examples use Voxeo Prophecy as the VoiceXML platform which has a SIP interface that will connect with a Voice Gateway. You can download two ports for free to try it out.
