Example of player for iOS
This player can be used to play any type of stream on Web Call Server
- RTSP
- WebRTC
- RTMP
- RTMFP
On the screenshot below an RTSP stream is being playing.
In the input fields
- 192.168.2.107 in the URL is the address of the WCS server
- stream name is entered in to the 'Play Stream' field (RTSP URL in this case)
Work with code of the example
To analyze the code, let's take Player example, which can be downloaded with corresponding build 2.5.2.
View class for the main view of the application: ViewController (header file ViewController.h; implementation file ViewController.m).
1. Import of API. code
#import <FPWCSApi2/FPWCSApi2.h>
2. Session creation.
FPWCSApi2 createSession code
The options include:
- URL of WCS server
- appKey of internal server-side application (defaultApp)
FPWCSApi2SessionOptions *options = [[FPWCSApi2SessionOptions alloc] init]; options.urlServer = _connectUrl.text; options.appKey = @"defaultApp"; NSError *error; FPWCSApi2Session *session = [FPWCSApi2 createSession:options error:&error];
3. Connection to the server
FPWCSApi2Session connect code
[session connect];
4. Receiving the event confirming successful connection.
ViewController onConnected code
On this event, ViewController playStream method is called to play stream
- (void)onConnected:(FPWCSApi2Session *)session { [self changeViewState:_remoteStreamName enabled:NO]; [self playStream]; }
5. Stream playback.
FPWCSApi2Session createStream, FPWCSApi2Stream play code
Object with next stream options is passed to createStream method:
- stream name
- view to display video
- (FPWCSApi2Stream *)playStream { FPWCSApi2Session *session = [FPWCSApi2 getSessions][0]; FPWCSApi2StreamOptions *options = [[FPWCSApi2StreamOptions alloc] init]; options.name = _remoteStreamName.text; options.display = _remoteDisplay; NSError *error; FPWCSApi2Stream *stream = [session createStream:options error:nil]; ... if(![stream play:&error]) { UIAlertController * alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Failed to play" message:error.localizedDescription preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert]; UIAlertAction* okButton = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Ok" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction * action) { }]; [alert addAction:okButton]; [self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil]; } return stream; }
6. Disconnection.
FPWCSApi2Session disconnect code
- (void)startButton:(UIButton *)button { [self changeViewState:button enabled:NO]; if ([button.titleLabel.text isEqualToString:@"STOP"]) { if ([FPWCSApi2 getSessions].count) { FPWCSApi2Session *session = [FPWCSApi2 getSessions][0]; NSLog(@"Disconnect session with server %@", [session getServerUrl]); [session disconnect]; } else { NSLog(@"Nothing to disconnect"); [self onDisconnected]; } } else { [self changeViewState:_connectUrl enabled:NO]; [self connect]; } }
7. Receiving the event confirming successful disconnection.
ViewController onDisconnected code
- (void)onDisconnected { [self changeViewState:_connectUrl enabled:YES]; [self onStopped]; }
