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.

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.

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.
