Force VP8 video codec in the incoming offer during WebRTC ingestion #1983
-
|
Hello guys! I am trying to find out how I can force VP8 video codec during WebRTC ingestion. At the moment, if I want to ingest video I invoke the JoinStorageSession API to start the WebRTC ingestion workflow, but the incoming offer always chooses H264 video codec which makes more preprocessing on the client side. I tried to set the media type of the created video stream for ingestion, but the offer still uses H264, instead of VP8. The documentation says that VP8 is also supported. Is it possible to force VP8 video codec in the incoming offer during WebRTC ingestion? |

VP8 ingestion is not supported. For WebRTC ingestion, only H264 is supported. However, in non-ingestion mode, VP8 is supported. |

The documentation and README.md do not mention this limitation neither. It would be better to explicitly define the supported codecs for WebRTC ingestion. |

You are correct. We have an internal ticket item to track this documentation miss. Thank you for bringing it up. |
