play-from-disk-h264

play-from-disk demonstrates how to send video and/or audio to your browser from files saved to disk.

This example has the same structure as play-from-disk but instead of sending VP8 it sends H264 instead.

Instructions

Create H264 Annex-B file named output.h264 and/or output.ogg that contains a Opus track

ffmpeg -i $INPUT_FILE -an -c:v libx264 -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -b:v 2M -max_delay 0 -bf 0 output.h264
ffmpeg -i $INPUT_FILE -c:a libopus -page_duration 20000 -vn output.ogg

Download play-from-disk-h264

export GO111MODULE=on
go install github.com/pion/example-webrtc-applications/v3/play-from-disk-h264@latest

Open play-from-disk-h264 example page

jsfiddle.net you should see two text-areas and a 'Start Session' button

Run play-from-disk-h264 with your browsers SessionDescription as stdin

The output.h264 and output.ogg you created should be in the same directory as play-from-disk-h264. In the jsfiddle the top textarea is your browser, copy that and:

Linux/macOS

Run echo $BROWSER_SDP | play-from-disk-h264

Windows

1. Paste the SessionDescription into a file.
2. Run play-from-disk-h264 < my_file

Input play-from-disk-h264's SessionDescription into your browser

Copy the text that play-from-disk-h264 just emitted and copy into second text area

Hit 'Start Session' in jsfiddle, enjoy your video!

A video should start playing in your browser above the input boxes. play-from-disk-h264 will exit when the file reaches the end
