Janus Gateway offers a streaming plugin that allows you to transfer video data using software like gstreamer or ffmpeg.
If you're interested in setting this up on a Raspberry Pi, you can follow the steps outlined in the Q&A at this link:
Here is a brief summary of how to configure the Janus gateway streaming plugin:
Set up Janus gateway streaming plugin
To set up the streaming plugin, locate the configuration file
/opt/janus/etc/janus/janus.plugin.streaming.jcfg
. You can refer to the official documentation for more details.
You'll find sample configurations in the file, such as rtp-sample
which receives VP8/Opus streaming data via RTP. To stream H.264 video, you need to modify the configuration with specific settings.
h264-sample: {
type = "rtp"
id = 10
description = "H.264 live stream"
audio = false
video = true
videoport = 8004
videopt = 126
videortpmap = "H264/90000"
videofmtp = "profile-level-id=42e01f;packetization-mode=1"
secret = "somesecretid"
}
After updating the configuration, remember to restart Janus gateway.
Start video streaming
You can use tools like FFMpeg to send video data to the Janus streaming plugin through RTP. The provided command example showcases how to do this.
Note that the video parameters and the output RTP port number should match the Janus streaming plugin's configuration.
Prepare Vue.js frontend
In the next step, create a web frontend to view the streaming content using the bundled janus.js module in Janus gateway. Refer to the official documentation for information on utilizing janus.js within your Vue.js project.
A sample Vue.js project and webpack configuration are provided for reference, allowing you to import the Janus object and handle streaming video data through APIs.
For further assistance, you can explore an example Vue.js project.
