Video File Streaming via the Streaming Plugin

General
1

Hello, can you help me create a video streaming pipeline or room for webm files? The objective is to play two or more video files at specific times. I’m having trouble finding or understanding how to set up such a room. For reference, I’ve used the multistream-test configuration, but I’m unsure how to specify the filenames and file paths for these videos. Additionally, I’m encountering an error.

"data": {
					"streaming": "event",
					"error_code": 456,
					"error": "Can't add 'rtp' stream, error creating data source stream"
				}

How can I achieve this as well for the video playback

The Streaming plugin doesn’t support video files, you have to use an external tool (e.g., gstreamer or ffmpeg) to open the webm file and send RTP to the Streaming mountpoint. This is what our demo on the website does, for instance (in both the Meetecho spot video, and the one where you can see my two webcams at the same time).
