About WHIP/WHEP and MediaMTX Integration

WHIP (WebRTC-HTTP ingestion protocol) and WHEP (WebRTC-HTTP egress protocol) are standardized protocols for WebRTC streaming. This client utilizes VDO.Ninja as the WebRTC layer to provide a powerful and flexible streaming solution.

Using MediaMTX

To easily configure this client for use with MediaMTX, you can use the &mediamtx parameter in the URL. Here's what you need to know:

  • Simply add &mediamtx=domainname to your URL to configure the client for MediaMTX.
  • The default port for MediaMTX is 8889. If you're using the default port, you don't need to specify it.
  • If you're using a non-standard port, include it like this: &mediamtx=domainname.com:443
  • MediaMTX doesn't support stereo=0, so this setting is automatically removed if detected.
  • You can find a detail guide here for deploying MediaMTX and configuring it for use with VDO.Ninja .

Important Notes

  • Ensure your MediaMTX server is properly configured and accessible.
  • For optimal performance, use a wired internet connection when streaming.
  • Be aware of your bandwidth limitations when configuring video and audio bitrates.
  • Some browsers may have limitations with certain codecs. If you experience issues, try switching to a different codec.
  • For H265 support, you may need to enable it in your browser if not available. See here for help enabling.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

  • Check your network connection and firewall settings.
  • Ensure your MediaMTX server is running and accessible.
  • Try using different browsers or updating your current browser.
  • Verify that your camera and microphone are properly connected and permitted in your browser settings.
