webrtc-cast

Use WebRTC to cast chrome

Requirements

• Linux
  • Tested with Debian and PiOS
• nodejs, npm, git, and chromium
• npm install express

Notes

• Clone the project.
• Move to the cloned directory: cd webrtc-cast
• If you don't have ssl certs generate self sigend with: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes
• To start the services sometimes I launch each service in an individual terminal so I can debug issues.
  • Launch the https and websocket server on port 8443: nodejs nodejs/ws.js
• On both the client and the server you need to accept the ssl certificates. In general setup I run the socket server and the web server on ws-server:8443.
  • If you self sign cert then you must accept ssl key for both https://ws-server:8443
• Lanuch chromium in kiosk mode with something like this: chromium --disable-features=PreloadMediaEngagementData,MediaEngagementBypassAutoplayPolicies --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --ignore-certificate-errors --ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests --ignore-websocket-cert-errors --kiosk https://localhost:8443/listening-chrome.html
• Or like this: chromium --disable-features=PreloadMediaEngagementData,MediaEngagementBypassAutoplayPolicies --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --ignore-certificate-errors --ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests --ignore-websocket-cert-errors --kiosk file:///home/kiosk/webrtc-cast/html/listening-chrome.html
• On the client machine go to https://ws-server:8443 to start casting.
