Server setup

Enforce bitrate increasing

To prevent translation quality decreasing while Full HD stream is publishing, bitrate increasing should be enforced on server side with the following parameters in flashphoner.properties file

webrtc_sdp_min_bitrate_bps=3000000
webrtc_sdp_max_bitrate_bps=7000000

In this case publishing bitrate will be held between 3000 kbps and 7000 kbps.

Playback codec configuration

By default, for playing WebRTC video stream the same video codec is used with which it is published (VP8), and transcoding on server is not performed.

To use H.264 codec for playback, VP8 can be excluded on browser side using Web SDK stipCodecs option:

playStream = session.createStream({
    ...
    stripCodecs: "VP8"
}).on(STREAM_STATUS.PENDING, function (publishStream) {
    ...
});
playStream.play();

If H.264 is used for playback, VP8 to H.264 transcoding is performed on server.

WebRTC transport setup

By default, OBS WebRTC Client publish a stream using UDP transport. To publish a stream using TCP transport, enable this protocol usage on server side 

ice_tcp_transport=true
