ConferenceTest

Conference Chat

This example demonstrates multi-party communication using Red5 Pro. It should be used in conjunction with a conference WebSocket host such as this example.

It is recommended to view this example as part of the webrtcexamples webapp shipped with the Red5 Pro Server.

Setup

WebSocket Conference Host

The WebSocket Conference Host refers to the socket endpoint that manages the list of active streams and their scopes for a given conference session.

We have provided a basic example at https://github.com/red5pro/red5pro-conference-host.

The endpoint for the WebSocket Conference Host is defined in the tests.xml as the conference_host property. By default it is set to a local IP address and port on your network (e.g., ws://10.0.0.75:8001). Change this to either the local IP or the remote IP of the machine that you launch the WebSocket Conference Host on.

The reason it is defined as a local IP on your network and not localhost is because localhost would refer to the actual device that the testbed is launched on. We assume you would not also be running the WebSocket Conference Host NodeJS server on your iOS device :)

Once a publish session has begun, a connection to the WebSocket Conference Host is established and messages with regards to active stream listing are handled:

public void connectSocket () {
  final String sRoomName = this.roomName;
  String host = TestContent.GetPropertyString("conference_host")
                .replace("http:", "ws:")
                .replace("https:", "wss:");
  String url = host + "?room=" + sRoomName + "&streamName=" + this.pubName;
  mWebSocketProvider = new WebSocketProvider(url);
  mWebSocketProvider.connect(new WebSocketProvider.OnWebSocketListener() {
    @Override
    public void onWebSocketMessage(String room, ArrayList<String> streams) {
      if (room.equals(sRoomName)) {
        String streamNames = TextUtils.join(",", streams);
        stringToQueue(streamNames);
      }
    }
  });
}

Java-WebSocket

By default, the WebSocket implementation used is the Java-WebSocket Java library. It is installed via gradle.
