ErizoAPI, a Node.js addon wrapper for erizo, the MCU Library for WebRTC

Erizo is a project that aims to implement a library able to communicate with WebRTC (http://www.webrtc.org) browser clients in order to provide advanced communication services. With ErizoAPI you can use easily erizo in your Node.js projects.

Requirements

You must have built erizo in your computer in order to use erizoAPI. You can find erizo code at http://github.com/ging/erizo

Building Instructions

1- Export the paths to get the source code and the library of erizo:

- Main path to erizo
  export ERIZO_HOME=path/to/erizo
- Path to liberizo.so
  export LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH=path/to/erizo/build/erizo

2- Execute build.sh

##Usage

With erizo you can publish and subscribe to WebRTC streams. First get the erizoAPI module.

OneToManyProcessor is the muxer that gets the published stream and sends it to the subscribers. With more than one OneToManyProcessor you can make multiconference services.

Also you need a WebRtcConnection for each participant (publisher or subscriber).

Start the ICE negotiation and check periodically its state (the negotiation is asynchronous). When candidates are gathered (state > 0) set the client SDP.

Finally return the local SDP to the client and the connection is stablished.

Note that the way to interchange the SDPs between the client and erizo is out of the scope of this project.

###Publishing a stream

To publish a stream add the publisher WebRtcConnection to the OneToManyProcessor

###Subscribing to a stream

To subscribe to a stream add a subscriber WebRtcConnection to the OneToManyProcessor. OneToManyProcessor needs an unique peer identifier for each subscriber.

In order to start correctly the communication send a FIR packet to the publisher. Make sure the ICE state is READY (wrtc.getCurrentState() > 2)

Also you can remove a determined subscriber from the muxer
