Problem playing recorded videos in browsers

[Javier Gomez]

I deployed WCS 5 on AWS. I implemented the Android SDK, All it's working well, video live streaming, recording but when I try to play the recorded videos in a web browser using HTML 5 the video not play. Please check the below "Codepen".

We had some fixes related stream recording.
Make sure you have latest available build of WCS server.

service webcallserver update

or
Download and run ./install.sh

Thank you! I deployed it by manual way in Ubuntu 16.04 (64 bits). I can see that the video plays well when it's recorded in .webm format. Any way to get all videos recorded in webm ?

All H.264 WebRTC streams are recorded in mp4
All VP8 WebRTC streams are recorded in webM

So you can set VP8 as priority video codec:

codecs=opus,alaw,ulaw,g729,speex16,g722,mpeg4-generic,telephone-event,vp8,h264,flv,mpv

It should record webM

Or you can set H.264 as priority video codec:

codecs=opus,alaw,ulaw,g729,speex16,g722,mpeg4-generic,telephone-event,h264,vp8,flv,mpv

It should record mp4

This setting should be done in WCS_HOME/conf/flashphoner.properties and requires wcs server restart

Thank you! you are the best. I updated the version and the recorded video it's working well now.

Do you know any way to force H.264 in the WCS Android SDK ? Thank You!

You can disable VP8 video codec.
Example:
https://github.com/flashphoner/wcs-...e/mediadevices/MediaDevicesActivity.java#L338

String[] stripCodec = {(String) mStripStreamerCodec.getSpinner().getSelectedItem()};
streamOptions.setStripCodecs(stripCodec);

If you disable (stripCodec VP8), you leave H.264.
Or you can remove both VP8 and VP9

streamOptions.setStripCodecs({"VP8","VP9"});
