Wooow! Of course I will wait, thanks a lot. Hope you mention the news on the thread. Cheers

I’m confused how an application would mix both Membrane and Janus - what would Janus do that Membrane couldn’t do alone, given that Membrane can mix audio / video and handle the signaling component of it.
Excited to see the starter kit though! I think I will wait for it to start my app

Membrane is not ready yet to fully act as a WebRTC peer. We’re closer than ever but the realistic estimate is 2-3 months and I am pretty sure some unexpected bugs will show up.
We don’t want to wait for so long with releasing such a tool.
Given that we decided to create a tool where Janus essentially acts as a source to the Membrane pipeline. In the long run we obviously plan to upgrade it to be 100% Membrane.

It is awesome to hear that Membrane could at some point in the future act as a WebRTC peer Is it in scope to make it work also with WebRTC data channels or will it be only for audio/video? Just out of curiosity.

It’s not in the roadmap yet, but it will be possible to add in the future. PRs for that are going to be very welcome once A/V is ready

Hi,
what would be the best way if I want encode a video file and stream it realtime? I am thinking of Membrane. Is WebRTC the way to go?
Made a thread about this here How would I serve / stream a video file?
Thanks

It all depends on the target platform and requirements regarding the latency. If you don’t need to stream it in with very low latency, HLS might be good enough. Please note that there are many quirks related to real-time reencoding, not all formats are very compatible with that as some of them store metadata at the end of the file.

We do have HLS element and it’s working in one of the projects we did comercially, although it does not have public stable release yet. It will be available within a few weeks.
