This service provides a WHIP endpoint (WebRTC HTTP Ingestion Protocol) for a Symphony Media Bridge SFU. With this service you can use any WHIP compatible client push a media stream to a Sympony Media Bridge instance.

• NodeJs v18+
• A Symphony Media Bridge SFU instance running

Install dependencies

% npm install

% export SMB_URL=<URL to Symphony Media Bridge>
% export SMB_API_KEY=<API key for Symphony Media Bridge API>
% npm start

The WHIP endpoint is now available at https://localhost:8000/api/v2/whip/sfu-broadcaster and you can use a WHIP compatible client to establish a media stream to the Symphony Media Bridge.

To try this out you can use the WHIP web client available here.

If you want to protect the WHIP endpoint with an API key you can add the environment variable API_KEY with the key you wish to require.

To register ingested streams for playback using the Eyevinn WHEP Playback Endpoint you enter the URL to the WHEP endpoint service as an additional environment variable (in addition to above).

% export WHEP_ENDPOINT_URL=<URL to WHEP endpoint service>
% npm start

Start a local Symphony instance using a Docker image we provide for development and testing.

% docker run --rm \
  -e HTTP_PORT=8280 \
  -e UDP_PORT=12000 \
  -e API_KEY=dev \
  -e IPV4_ADDR=127.0.0.1 \
  -p 8280:8280 \
  -p 12000:12000/udp \
  eyevinntechnology/wrtc-sfu

% SMB_URL=https://localhost:8280 SMB_API_KEY=dev npm run dev

When a WHIP connection is established you can verify that with the following API call to the local SFU.

% curl -v -H 'X-APIKey: dev' https://localhost:8280/conferences/<conferenceId>/ingest

To list available conferences you can run the following curl command.

% curl -v -H 'X-APIKey: dev' https://localhost:8280/conferences/
