问题
we were using the vlc plugin in Chrome to play a multicast stream (RTP Ipv6) but with the deprecation of NPAPI-Plugins we need an alternative. I was trying to search something about html5 video but nothing.
NPAPI deprecation: developer guide
Any idea?
Thanks
回答1:
RTP directly to the browser is not a solution I'd use today. The implementation effort to transform a number of RTP packets to Media Segments accepted by the Media Source Extension (MSE) is rather high and perhaps it's not even doable on all browsers (chrome.sockets seems to be a way to do it at least on Chrome browsers). Plugin development for more than a single browser is a nasty business as well. Don't go there!
I am not sure if it fits your requirements but here is what I'd do:
I would setup a process that converts RTP packets to MPEG-DASH packets on a server. Coincidentally I implemented a solution like that. You can find it on Github as RTP2DASH. The example receives multiple qualities of the same stream from ffmpeg but you don't need that - a single video stream from any RTP source should be enough as you can run MPEG-DASH with just a single video stream. Doing DASH seems like a big overhead in the beginning but the advantage is that there are players working on all browsers such as the DASH-IF Reference Player (I wouldn't use that one) or Google's Shaka Player (which is included in my example) already there.
