WebRTC is an evolving technology for peer-to-peer communication on the web. This repository demonstrates how this technology can be used to establish a peer connection from a Python instance. It connects to a public live stream and saves the video&audio as a mp4 file.
We recommend using Conda or (Miniconda) to manage the packages and versions of this WebRTC Python Client. You are free to choose your version manager of choice (eg. pyenv or plain pip), in that case have a look at environment.yml to see what packages you need to install. Below are the installation instructions using Miniconda.
git clone https://github.com/kunwu/webrtc_client.git
cd webrtc_client
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate webrtcThis client works out of the box with the google signaling server. By default, it connects to the live stream provided by Eyevinn.
