ChatRoom no video

[djuka]

Hello, I tried VideoChat code from client2 on my local environment and I can't get video in the application. Connection is established but no local video in the frame.
Then I used your demo.flashphoner.com and section VideoChat to try my server and I found that does not work even on your demo page. I think my WCS server is not configured for VideoChat.
Can you help me and explain are there some additional configurations for video Chat on server?
Just to notice, all Rest methods are available for the roomChatApp.

Hello

How did you test video chat sample?

This is how we test video chat and how it works step by step:

0. Open page

Two Way Video Chat

1. Enter unique nickname "123"
2. Click "Join"
3. Copy invite link
4. Open your invite link in new browser tab or page
5. Enter unique nickname "555"
6. Click "Join"
7. See two way video chat from user 123
8. See two way video chat from user 555

Chrome 94, Windows 10

1) I click Join button
2) ESTABLISHED writes for status but Join button not goes to Leave
3) Both video windows, local (small) and remote (big) are empty
4) Message boxes displays NONE
5) Publish button is disabled

I think WCS server is not configured for chat. Just to mention Stream recording works.

Server is configured. You are testing in iframe.

1. Try to test directly using link: https://demo.flashphoner.com/client2/examples/demo/streaming/video-chat/video-chat.html
2. Check web console messages F12

Some ad-blockers can affect scripts inside of iframes.

It is the same even in out of the iframe.

Hi Max, thank you for your support. I didn't found what was the problem and it was sure some issue with the server. I did reinstall the server application and now it works as expected.

Pleas note: if you are using custom backend replacing default RoomApp

your custom application must forward all the queries to the standard http://wcs:8081/apps/RoomApp and must return all the responses from it to client. For example:

$api_method = array_pop(explode("/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
$body = file_get_contents('php://input');
$incoming_data = json_decode($body, true);
$response_data = json_decode("{}");

error_log($api_method);
//process method
switch($api_method) {
    case"connect":
        ...
        // POST /connect query to WCS default RoomApp
        $response_data = json_decode(postToRoomApp($api_method, $body), true);
    break;
    ...
    default:
        // POST any query to WCS default RoomApp
        $response_data = json_decode(postToRoomApp($api_method, $body), true);
    break;
}
header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK', true, 200);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($response_data);
...

// Passing query to WCS default RoomApp
function postToRoomApp($method, $data_string) {
    // Here should be your WSC RoomApp address
    $wcs_url="http://wcs:8081/apps/RoomApp/" . $method;

    $response="";
    if( $curl = curl_init() ) {
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $wcs_url);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json',                                                                               
                               'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string)));      
        $response = curl_exec($curl);
        $http_code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        if($http_code != 200) {
            ubnormalResponse($http_code);
        }
        error_log($response);
        curl_close($curl);
    }
    return($response);
}

function ubnormalResponse($code) {
    if ($code == 403) {
        header('HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden', true, $code);
    } else {
        header(':', true, $code);
    }
    die();
}

Maybe that was the problem.

Thank you so much. I will have it on my mind when I play with apps next time.
