GstWebRTC Wrapper

GStreamer WebRTC Wrapper – Flexible WebRTC Integration for GStreamer Pipelines RidgeRun’s GStreamer WebRTC Wrapper is a powerful GStreamer plugin and C++ library that simplifies the integration of WebRTC streaming into existing GStreamer pipelines, giving developers fine-grained control over pipeline behavior, signaling protocols, and ICE server configurations. Unlike other WebRTC solutions that auto-generate pipeline components, this wrapper allows complete customization—ideal for embedded platforms, advanced media servers, and custom video workflows. Whether you're enhancing an existing application with WebRTC capabilities or building a new real-time streaming product, the GStreamer WebRTC Wrapper enables low-latency, secure peer-to-peer media transmission—without sacrificing control. Key Features: Advanced Pipeline ControlDesigned for developers who need to: Extend existing pipelines with WebRTC output Use non-standard or highly optimized pipelines Dynamically adjust streaming flows during runtime Signaling Protocol SupportBuilt-in support for: PubNub WebRTC ICE Server CompatibilityWorks with: Xirsys Coturn Flexible IntegrationAvailable as both a GStreamer plugin and a C++ library, making it easy to use with a wide variety of architectures and workflows. Data Channel SupportEnable non-media communication between peers (requires GStreamer 1.18 or later). Optimized for Embedded SystemsBuilt with performance-critical applications in mind, ensuring low overhead and high reliability. Example Use Case: A video analytics system running on i.MX8 or Jetson AGX Orin needs to transmit processed camera streams to a browser-based monitoring dashboard in real time. By integrating the GStreamer WebRTC Wrapper, the system uses a custom GStreamer pipeline with PubNub signaling and Coturn as its ICE server. The result is low-latency, secure, and highly configurable WebRTC streaming—with no need to modify the core analytics pipeline. What’s Included: GStreamer WebRTC Wrapper plugin C++ library for advanced integration Support for PubNub and multiple ICE servers Sample GStreamer pipelines and configuration guides Optional 11-hour Embedded Software Support package Supported Platforms: x86-64 Linux Apple macOS (x86) NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8 NVIDIA Jetson (Nano, TX2, Xavier NX, AGX Orin) Qualcomm RB5, RB6, C8550 Why RidgeRun?
