Automatic fallback/fail over for live streams

[bjornw]

Hi,
I'm wondering if there are any plans on implementing any fallback/fail over function for when a live stream goes offline? For example playing a local video file if a live stream abruptly goes down because of a bad connection from the streamer to the server.

Hello @bjornw

Ant Media is already taking care of this, Have a look at the JS code snippets below.
 

function checkAndRepublishIfRequired() {
  var iceState = webRTCAdaptor.iceConnectionState(streamId);
  console.log("Ice state checked = " + iceState);

  if (iceState == null || iceState == "failed" || iceState == "disconnected"){
  webRTCAdaptor.stop(streamId);
  webRTCAdaptor.closePeerConnection(streamId);
  webRTCAdaptor.closeWebSocket();
  initWebRTCAdaptor(true, autoRepublishEnabled);
  }	
}

Also this file helps

Feel free to revert back if having any issue in implementation.

Thank you.

Great to hear, thanks for the quick answer!

Is there anyway similar functionality when not using webrtc? I’m doing SRT ingest and transcoding to HLS with adaptive bitrate.

Hello @bjornw

I haven't tried srt as of now. So other members may help you.
