Vishal, best to direct such questions to Ant media.

Using Ant media server with webrtc, Is it possible to publish stream while playing other stream??

Nothing specific I am afraid.

Try looking at the Janus community group. I am afraid that at the end of the day what you lack is WebRTC knowledge and experience… I can recommend my courses on webrtccourse.com – they should give you the baseline of understanding but I get a feeling that you’re looking for a quick fix and a specific solution and less the background and building blocks knowhow.

I’m a musician trying to set up a WebRTC live stream 1-to-many from my studio to my website where the audience can watch via the browser. I’ve gotten it working with OpenTok until we ran into a config. error (likely for a Nancy engine that isn’t currently maintained, but 52 tech support emails back and forth couldn’t resolve it) and also on a start-up, Frozen Mountain, but had repeated audio quality issues and some audio-video lag due to differences in codec application (Millicast is WAY beyond my budget and I’ve not been able to get it working with either Red5 or Ant). So now I am simply trying to run a node.js server on my local machine and use a Hieroku/Janus to distribute to the website itself. Can you recommend a code tutorial for the specifics of the Janus configuration, specifically in terms of pushing the stream from my machine to the Janus network and subsequently to the website html/js? I’m in some deep water relative to my coding ability.

Thanks so much!

Depends how much “live” it needs to be.

For broadcast, I’d probably go with Janus or mediasoup in open source. Red5 Pro, Ant Media, millicast and others offer a commercial solution – sometimes self hosted and sometimes cloud managed. Agora also in this space as a CPaaS vendor and also LiveSwitch cloud.

If you’re fine with a bit of latency then just send it via CDN and use HLS and in the near future LLHLS.

It has been a while now… Can Kurento be used for 1 to many live streaming purpose? If not what do you suggest in that scenario.

Broadcasting with WebRTC isn’t simple. Depending on the size of the conference, different alternatives exist – from using FreeSwitch as a conferencing bridge that mixes audio, through using open source SFUs to using CPaaS vendors.

I need to implement a way to broadcast video to many people and also get them all into single audio conference. Currently doing video using RTMP and have more than 15 seconds delay.

With the current configuration if I somehow manage to create audio conference that’ll not sync with the broadcaster’s audio.

Tim, not sure what the scenario here is exactly.

Is it WebRTC –> WebRTC or is it WebRTC –> HLS?

I am building a one-to-many broadcast type system and at first was going to just use WebRTC for the back end participants.. one or more people.. And have other peers join the “call”, but don’t use their audio or video (they are just viewers). AWS has a good offering for the STUN, TURN, and Media server.

For viewers to see the stream on their desktop, I was going to relay it and pay for the bandwidth. But now I think I can add them as fake peers up to 500? I don’t understand where the multiplier is. One 5Mb stream is being shared by everyone.. so x number of people join but shouldnt it stay at 5mb per person? I understand the slow user situation but hopefully AWS media server can deal with him.

Is it possible to use the 500 limit of peer to peer and send overage to direct HLS link?
