webrtc based communication and collaboration client. Contains lot of experiments modules
npm install webrtcdevelopment
grunt -verbose
`
SDK
----
Project is divided into 4 parts
1. Core RTC Conn Lib
2. Wrappers for the Core Lib containing feature sets and widgets like screensharing , recording , pointer share , machine learning , face detection etc
3. Demo Applicatins like two party full-features , multi-party full features etc which implement and use the SDK by invoking the constructirs , emitters and listeners .
4. SIgnaller over socket.io for SDP excahnge on offer answer model
$3
Download the dev dependencies by setting the NODE_ENV to dev .
This will install all grunt and gulp dependencies used for building the SDK
`
NODE_ENV=development npm install
`
To build the RtcConn , outputs RTCMultiConn
`
grunt rtcconn
`
To build the webrtcdev lib .
It encapsulates the rtcconn core along with external libs for building various custom features .
Outputs webrtcdevelopment.js , webrtcdevelopment_header.js , webrtcdevelopment.css , webrtcdevelopment_header.css and webrtcdevelopmentserver.js
`
gulp production
`
Steps
----
To run this project following steps need to be followed in that order :
1. Get the project from github
`
git clone https://github.com/altanai/webrtc.git webrtc
`
2. install nvm ( node version manager )
`shell script
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.2/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install v12.0.0
nvm use v12.0.0
`
3. install npm and update the dependencies
It will read the package.json and update the dependencies in node_modules folder on project location
`shell
sudo apt-get install npm
npm install
`
4. Change ENV variables and Test
To change the ports for running the https server and rest server, goto env.json
`json
{
"hostname" : "host",
"enviornment" : "local",
"host" : "localhost",
"jsdebug" : true,
"httpsPort" : 8086,
"restPort" : 8087
}
`
To run the tests
`shell script
npm test
`
5. Start up the Server
To start the Server in dev mode and stop the server as soon as Ctrl+ C is hit or the terminal widnow is closed .
`shell script
node webrtcserver.js
`
read more about node
To start the Server using npm start ( using package.json) , behaves same as earlier run using node. We use supervisor to restart the server incase of exceptions or new code .
`shell script
npm start
`
6. JS and CSS Libs
Make a webpage and give holders for video and button elements that SDK will use .
Inside the head tag of html
build/webrtcdevelopment_header.css
build/webrtcdevelopment_header.js
After the body tag of html
build/webrtcdevelopment.css
build/webrtcdevelopment.js
or use the minified scripts
build/webrtcdevelopment_min.css
build/webrtcdevelopment_min.js
7. Configure
Create the webrtc dom object with local and remote objects
local object :
`javascript
var local={
video : "myAloneVideo", // name of the local video element
videoClass : "", // class of the localvideo
videoContainer : "singleVideoContainer", // outer container of the video element
userDisplay : false, // do you want to display user details
userMetaDisplay : false,
userdetails:{ // users details include name , email , color
username : username,
usercolor : "#DDECEF",
useremail : useremail,
role : "participant" // role of user in the session , can be participant , admin , inspector
}
}
`
remote object :
`javascript
var remote={
videoarr : ["myConferenceVideo", "otherConferenceVideo"], // conatiners for the video after session is made
// first one is usually the local video holder followed by remote video holders
videoClass : "",
maxAllowed : "6",
videoContainer : "confVideoContainer",
userDisplay : false,
userMetaDisplay : false,
dynamicVideos : false
}
`
Incoming and outgoing media configuration ( self explanatory ) :
`javascript
var incoming={
audio : true,
video : true,
data : true,
screen: true
};
var outgoing={
audio : true,
video : true,
data : true,
screen: true
};
webrtcdomobj= new WebRTCdom(
local, remote, incoming, outgoing
);
`
7. Adding Widgets
set widgets (explained in section below)
`javascript
var widgets={ }
`
Set widgets and their properties
8. Creating session
Get session id automatically
`javascript
sessionid = webrtcdevobj.makesessionid("reload");
`
or get session name from user
`javascript
sessionid = webrtcdevobj.makesessionid("noreload");
`
9. Create a session json object with turn credentials and the session created from above step
set preference for the incoming and outgoing media connection. By default all are set to true .
`javascript
var incoming={
audio: true,
video: true,
data: true,
screen: true
};
var outgoing={
audio: true,
video: true,
data: true,
screen: true
};
`
10. finally initiate the webrtcdev constructor
`javascript
webrtcdevsessionobj = webrtcdevobj.setsession(local, remote, incoming, outgoing, session, getWidgets());
`
11. Start the session
`javascript
webrtcdevobj.startCall(webrtcdevsessionobj)
`

Description of Widgets with SDK invocation
$3
User RTCDataConnection api from webRTC to send peer to peer nessages within a session. If camera is present the SDK captures a screenshot with user's cemars feed at the isnatnt of typing the message and send along with the message.
When the chat widget is active , if the dom specified by the container id is present then webSDK uses as it is, else it creates one default box
`json
{
active: true,
container: {
id: "chatContainer" // dom id of the chat conatiner
},
inputBox:{
text_id:"chatInputText", // dom id of the chta's input box
sendbutton_id:"chatSendButton", // dom id for the chat's send button
minbutton_id:"minimizeChatButton" // dom id for minimizing the Chat conaginer
},
chatBox:{
id: "chatBoard" // dom id for the chat board where all messages are dispalyed
},
button:{ // on and off button states for the chat widget button
class_on:"btn btn-warning glyphicon glyphicon-font topPanelButton",
html_on:"Chat",
class_off:"btn btn-success glyphicon glyphicon-font topPanelButton",
html_off:"Chat"
}
}
`
Upcoming : Adding emoticons to Chat
$3
Uses the RTCDataConnection API from WebRTC to exchange files peer to peer. Progress bar is displayed for the chunks of file transferrred out of total number of chunks. Many different kindes of file transfer have been tested such as media files ( mp3 , mp4 ) , text or pdf files , microsoft pr libra office dicuments , images ( jpg , png etc ) etc .
File share widgets creates uses 2 containers - File Share and File List . If the dom ids of the container are not present on the page , the SDK crestes default conainers and appends them to page
The list of files with buttons to view , hide or remove them from file viewers are in file Viewer container .
Displaying or playing the text or media files happens in file share container , which also has button to maximize , minimize the viewer window or in case of images to rotate them.
For divided file share container
`
{
active : true,
fileShareContainer : "fileSharingRow", // File sharing container

Working steps
1.create a new session
Navigate on browser https://localhost:8082/#2435937115056035
which creates websocket over socket.io wss://localhost:8083/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket
2.check for channel presence
first client message
`shell script
[ "presence",
{
channel: "2435937115056035"
}
]
`
on the server side
`
Presence Check index of 2435937115056035 is false
`
websocket response from server ["presence", false]
3.If channel doesnt exist already create
client message to open channel
`shell script
[ "open-channel",
{
channel: "2435937115056035",
sender: "gxh0oi2jrs",
maxAllowed: 6
}
]
`
server response
`shell script
------------open channel------------- 2435937115056035 by gxh0oi2jrs
registered new in channels [ '2435937115056035' ]
information added to channel { '2435937115056035':
{ channel: '2435937115056035',
timestamp: '12/18/2018, 10:18:01 PM',

users: [ 'gxh0oi2jrs' ],
status: 'waiting',
endtimestamp: 0,
log:
[ '12/18/2018, 10:18:01 PM:-channel created . User gxh0oi2jrs waiting ' ] } }
`
websocket response from server
`shell
[ "open-channel-resp",
{
status: true,
channel: "2435937115056035"
}
]
`
4.Join a session and check for channel presence
navigate another browser client to same session url such as https://localhost:8084/#2435937115056035?name=aa&email=abc@gmail.com
`shell
check presence ["presence", {channel: "2435937115056035"}]
["presence", true]
Presence Check index of 2435937115056035 is true
`
5.If channel is present join the channel
`shell script
["join-channel", {channel: "2435937115056035", sender: "2ilwvn9qq39",…}]
------------join channel------------- 2435937115056035 by 2ilwvn9qq39 isallowed true
[ "join-channel-resp"
{
status: true,
channel: "2435937115056035",
users: ["gxh0oi2jrs", "2ilwvn9qq39"]
}]

Issue1 CORS exception prevents loading the connection to socket.io server
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://domain.com:8083/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=NiEMZt0' from origin 'https://domain.com:8084' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource
solution1 Ensure that the resource is added to servers cors origin list . By default it works on same origin only..
Note : Same hostname but diff ports still counts as different origins
Test cors
curl -H "Origin: https://domain:8084" --head https://domain.com:8083/socket.io
Issue2 Using wildcard
value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.
solution the requested origin for cross origin requests should be loaded to env varaible and will be refered by socket.io and rest api server and signaller
const allowedOrigins = ['/.localhost./'
];
process.env.allowedOrigins = allowedOrigins;
Issue3 CORS with credentails
value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header in the response is '' which must be 'true' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.
solution add credentials access when using cross origin or make credentails false

Cases when user deosnt have ir isnt able to acces his audio/video devices due of any of reasons such as
- user has no webcam or microphone
- intentioanlly/accidentally denied access to the webcam
- plugs in the webcam/microphone after getUserMedia() code has initialized
- device is already used by another app on Windows
- user dismisses the privacy dialog
Rejections of the returned promise are made by passing a DOMException error object to the promise's failure handler.
The DOMException interface represents an abnormal event
Possible errors are:
`json
openrmc.webrtc.Errors = {
NOT_SUPPORTED : 'NOT_SUPPORTED',
CONSTRAINTS_REQUIRED : 'CONSTRAINTS_REQUIRED',
AUDIO_NOT_AVAILABLE : 'AUDIO_NOT_AVAILABLE',
VIDEO_NOT_AVAILABLE : 'VIDEO_NOT_AVAILABLE',
AV_NOT_AVAILABLE : 'AV_NOT_AVAILABLE'
} ;
`
* AbortError - Although the user and operating system both granted access to the hardware device, and no hardware issues occurred that would cause a NotReadableError, some problem occurred which prevented the device from being used.
* NotAllowedError - One or more of the requested source devices cannot be used at this time. This will happen if the browsing context is insecure (that is, the page was loaded using HTTP rather than HTTPS). It also happens if the user has specified that the current browsing instance is not permitted access to the device, the user has denied access for the current session, or the user has denied all access to user media devices globally. On browsers that support managing media permissions with Feature Policy, this error is returned if Feature Policy is not configured to allow access to the input source(s).
Older versions of the specification used SecurityError for this instead; SecurityError has taken on a new meaning.
* NotFoundError - No media tracks of the type specified were found that satisfy the given constraints.
NotReadableError
Although the user granted permission to use the matching devices, a hardware error occurred at the operating system, browser, or Web page level which prevented access to the device.
* OverconstrainedError - The specified constraints resulted in no candidate devices which met the criteria requested. The error is an object of type OverconstrainedError, and has a constraint property whose string value is the name of a constraint which was impossible to meet, and a message property containing a human-readable string explaining the problem.
Because this error can occur even when the user has not yet granted permission to use the underlying device, it can potentially be used as a fingerprinting surface.
* SecurityError - User media support is disabled on the Document on which getUserMedia() was called. The mechanism by which user media support is enabled and disabled is left up to the individual user agent.
* TypeError - The list of constraints specified is empty, or has all constraints set to false. This can also happen if you try to call getUserMedia() in an insecure context, since navigator.mediaDevices is undefined in an insecure context.

Issue1 net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH 200 (OK)
\
solution This error is definite mismatch between the data that is advertised in the HTTP Headers and the data transferred over the wire.
It could come from the following:
Server: If a server has a bug with certain modules that changes the content but don't update the content-length in the header or just doesn't work properly. It was the case for the Node HTTP Proxy at some point (see here)
Proxy: Any proxy between you and your server could be modifying the request and not update the content-length header.

at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:84:21) {
errno: -104,
code: 'ECONNRESET',
syscall: 'read'
}
`
\
Solution ECONNRESET error means that peer closed connection https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html .
To overcome this example either set try catch and reconnect to prevent sever from crashing or client from disconnectinig
or if you are running the http and wss server on the sae port like i was doing . Put them on seprate ports .
I started seeing this problem a lot after I upgraded the http protocol version from https to http2 ( using native node module )
for example for http server
`javascript
const app = http2.createSecureServer(options, (request, response) => {
request.addListener('end', function () {
file.serve(request, response);
}).resume();
});
app.listen(properties.http2Port);
`
the again declare it separately for wss server
`javascript
const server = require('http2').createSecureServer(options);
const io = require('socket.io')(server, {
secure: true,
serveClient: false,
pingInterval: 10000,
pingTimeout: 5000,
cookie: false
});
io.origins(':');
io.on('connect', onConnection);
server.listen(properties.wss2Port);

Issue 3 WSS errors on socket.io as, error in connection establishment: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR \
or WebSocket opening handshake was cancelled
\
solution recheck the session connection to socket.io , especially the ports and whther or not they are already in use
Issue 4 Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 403
\
solution Related to ECONNRESET
Issue 5 {code: 0, message: "Transport unknown"}
code: 0
message: "Transport unknown"
or
Status Code: 400 Bad Request
\
solution Either specify same protocol on both client and servers ide or do not specify and transport protocol at all .
For isntance this problem arises when server specifies websocket transport but client tries connecting over polling
server specifying tarsnport websocket
`javascript
ioServer(httpApp,{
transports: ['websocket'],
secure: true
})
`
But client tries polling connection

Issue 6 CERT INVALID ERROR such as
`shell script
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
``
\
Solution Since the certs are self signed , navigate to the wss port on http and allow permission under teh advanced button in scren below
!CERT_AUTHORITY
Issue 7 GoDaddy SSL ecrts key gives no start line
`shell script
library: 'PEM routines',
function: 'get_name',
reason: 'no start line',
code: 'ERR_OSSL_PEM_NO_START_LINE'
``
\
Solution first check whether the key file has valid certificate
`shell script
openssl x509 -text -in file.key
`
Check if it prints an error including the text "unable to load certificate", then your file is not sufficient.
See if the format is correct
`shell script
openssl pkcs8 -in key.txt -inform pem
Error reading key
140542854250944:error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line:../crypto/pem/pem_lib.c:745:Expecting: ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY
`
If not then re-save the file with charectar encoding UTF-8 and Line ending Unix/Linux

`
Solution Happens on ec2 container. Map the exteral initernal specifically in conf ot cli
`shell
turnserver -X EXT_IP/INT_IP
`
or in config external-ip=EXT_IP/INT_IP
Issue 3 Assigning address
`shell
errno=99
Cannot bind local socket to addr: Cannot assign requested address
`
solution Check if the ports are open
`shell
ps -ef | grep 3478
`
and kil any processes that may be found running

Issue 4 Both username and credential are required when the URL scheme is "turn" or "turns". at new WrappedRTCPeerConnection
`json
var iceservers_array = [{urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302'},
{url: "turn:user@media.xxx.com:3478", credential: 'root'}];
`
Solution change this to
`json
var iceservers_array = [{urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302'},
{ username: "user",
credential: "root",
url: 'turn:media.xxx.com:3478'}];
