PlayerEndpoint Example

have created a library for simplifing the use of kurento-client I recommend you to take a look lib-kurento

Introduction

The PlayerEndpoint example

This is a Node.js example which creates a PlayerEndpoint to WebRtcEndpoint pipeline in Kurento media server.

In this example a RTSP-H.264 stream generates by VLC is transmitted to Kureto (which is deployed on Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine) which trancodes to VP8 and transmitted to a simple web page in WebRTC.

VLC

stream desktop using:

  :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,scale=Auto,width=1920,height=1080,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/v.sdp} :sout-keep

Watch Out! - using :file-caching lower than 1000ms may cause image smearing and key-frame lose.
