incoming streams: browser. Unable to view from browser

[damianoct]

Hi, I don't know if the way incoming streams are intended to work is what I understood.

I am using 1.9.7 version.

I would like to create a stream sharing my desktop and then be able to see my desktop (the stream) from another browser or publish this stream to telegram.

So I created in the config an empty stream using the following config below:

streams:
    mystream:

and then I added a producer in this stream using the following link: http://localhost:1984/webrtc.html?dst=mystream&media=display+speaker
so in my browser I selected the screen to share and the stream mystream now has one producer.

{
  "producers": [
    {
      "id": 14,
      "format_name": "webrtc",
      "protocol": "ws+udp",
      "remote_addr": "[fd07:b51a:cc66:0:a617:db5e:ab7:e9f1]:65447 host",
      "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36",
      "medias": [
        "video, recvonly, VP8, H264, AV1, VP9",
        "audio, recvonly, OPUS/48000/2"
      ],
      "receivers": [
        {
          "id": 18,
          "codec": {
            "channels": 2,
            "codec_name": "opus",
            "codec_type": "audio",
            "sample_rate": 48000
          },
          "bytes": 281151,
          "packets": 8033
        }
      ],
      "bytes_recv": 448531
    }
  ],
  "consumers": null
}

At this point I tried to create a consumer of this screen by simply visiting the following url:
http://localhost:1984/stream.html?src=mystream
and the error is: unknown error
Probably this is due to the empty stream, but since this is an incoming stream I thought it was the right way to do it.

I also tried to see the stream using the url: http://localhost:1984/webrtc.html?src=mystream&media=video+audio but it hangs indefinitely

Anyone can help me how to manage incoming sources properly? There is not enough documentation on this top.

This can be 1.9.7 version bug for incoming stream. You should try master version or previous release.

[damianoct]

with 1.96 it works. However, I tried to publish the stream via rtmp and the sounds does not work.
From the connection page this is what I see:

only the h264 is being sent to rtmp. I don't know how to also send opus (audio)

[AlexxIT]

That's right. This audio codec is not supported in RTMP
