Publish camera using Mediadevice library

This example demonstrates how you can read a camera using the Pion Mediadevice library and publish the stream to the ion-sfu server. It also includes a frontend that can subscribe to the published video.

Requirements

• A running ion-sfu server
• v4l-utils installed on your machine
• libvpx installed on your machine

Getting started

Before starting the application, make sure that you have the right camera constraints, including the FrameFormat in the GetUserMedia function. If you are not sure which settings are right for your camera, reference the v4l2-ctl --all command that prints your connected camera's information.

When that is done, you can start the backend that sends the camera image using the go run command and provide your ion-sfu server's address.

go run main.go -a localhost:7000

The camera stream should now be sent to the ion-sfu server. You can verify this by looking at your ion-sfu server's logs or by reading the stream using the provided frontend that can be accessed by opening the included HTML file in a browser.
