Build

Download

To download run the following command:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-c.git

You will also need to install pkg-config and CMake and a build enviroment

Configure

Create a build directory in the newly checked out repository, and execute CMake from it.

mkdir -p amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-c/build; cd amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-c/build; cmake ..

We have provided an example of using GStreamer to capture/encode video, and then send via this library. This is only build if pkg-config finds GStreamer is installed on your system.

By default we download all the libraries from GitHub and build them locally, so should require nothing to be installed ahead of time. If you do wish to link to existing libraries you can use the following flags to customize your build.

Cross-Compilation

If you wish to cross-compile CC and CXX are respected when building the library and all its dependencies. You will also need to set BUILD_OPENSSL_PLATFORM, BUILD_LIBSRTP_HOST_PLATFORM and BUILD_LIBSRTP_DESTINATION_PLATFORM. See our .travis.yml for an example of this. Every commit is cross compiled to ensure that it continues to work.

Static Builds

If -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=TRUE then all dependencies and KVS WebRTC libraries will be built as static libraries.

CMake Arguments

You can pass the following options to cmake ...

  • -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS -- Build all KVS WebRTC and third-party libraries as static libraries.
  • -DADD_MUCLIBC -- Add -muclibc c flag
  • -DBUILD_DEPENDENCIES -- Whether or not to build depending libraries from source
  • -DBUILD_OPENSSL_PLATFORM -- If buildng OpenSSL what is the target platform
  • -DBUILD_LIBSRTP_HOST_PLATFORM -- If buildng LibSRTP what is the current platform
  • -DBUILD_LIBSRTP_DESTINATION_PLATFORM -- If buildng LibSRTP what is the destination platform
  • -DBUILD_TEST=TRUE -- Build unit/integration tests, may be useful for confirm support for your device. ./tst/webrtc_client_test
  • -DCODE_COVERAGE -- Enable coverage reporting
  • -DCOMPILER_WARNINGS -- Enable all compiler warnings
  • -DADDRESS_SANITIZER -- Build with AddressSanitizer
  • -DMEMORY_SANITIZER -- Build with MemorySanitizer
  • -DTHREAD_SANITIZER -- Build with ThreadSanitizer
  • -DUNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR_SANITIZER Build with UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer`

Build

To build the library and the provided samples run make in the build directory you executed CMake.

make

Run

Setup your environment with your AWS account credentials and AWS region:

  • First set the appropriate environment variables so you can connect to KVS. If you want to use IoT certificate instead, check Setup IoT.
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID= <AWS account access key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY= <AWS account secret key>
  • Region is optional, if not being set, then us-west-2 will be used as default region.
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION= <AWS region>

Setup desired log level:

Set up the desired log level. The log levels and corresponding values currently available are:

  1. LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE ---- 1
  2. LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG ---- 2
  3. LOG_LEVEL_INFO ---- 3
  4. LOG_LEVEL_WARN ---- 4
  5. LOG_LEVEL_ERROR ---- 5
  6. LOG_LEVEL_FATAL ---- 6
  7. LOG_LEVEL_SILENT ---- 7

To set a log level, run the following command:

export AWS_KVS_LOG_LEVEL = <LOG_LEVEL>

For example:

export AWS_KVS_LOG_LEVEL = 2 switches on DEBUG level logs while runnning the samples

Note: The default log level is LOG_LEVEL_WARN.

Running the Samples

After executing make you will have the following sample applications in your build directory:

  • kvsWebrtcClientMaster - This application sends sample H264/Opus frames (path: /samples/h264SampleFrames and /samples/opusSampleFrames) via WebRTC. It also accepts incoming audio, if enabled in the browser. When checked in the browser, it prints the metadata of the received audio packets in your terminal.
  • kvsWebrtcClientViewer - This application accepts sample H264/Opus frames and prints them out.
  • kvsWebrtcClientMasterGstSample - This application sends sample H264/Opus frames from a GStreamer pipeline. It also will playback incoming audio via an autoaudiosink.

Run any of the sample applications by passing to it the name that you want to give to your signaling channel. The application creates the signaling channel using the name you provide. For example, to create a signaling channel called myChannel and to start sending sample H264/Opus frames via this channel, run the following command:

./kvsWebrtcClientMaster myChannel

When the command line application prints "Signaling client connection to socket established", you can proceed to the next step.

Now that your signaling channel is created and the connected master is streaming media to it, you can view this stream. To do so, open the WebRTC SDK Test Page using the steps in Using the Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC Test Page and set the following values using the same AWS credentials and the same signaling channel that you specified for the master above:

  • Access key ID
  • Secret access key
  • Signaling channel name
  • Client ID (optional)

Choose Start viewer to start live video streaming of the sample H264/Opus frames.

Setup IoT

{
   "Version":"2012-10-17",
   "Statement":[
      {
          "Effect":"Allow",
          "Action":[
            "kinesisvideo:DescribeSignalingChannel",
            "kinesisvideo:CreateSignalingChannel",
            "kinesisvideo:GetSignalingChannelEndpoint",
            "kinesisvideo:GetIceServerConfig",
            "kinesisvideo:ConnectAsMaster",
          ],
          "Resource":"arn:aws:kinesisvideo:*:*:channel/\${credentials-iot:ThingName}/*"
      }
   ]
}

Note: "kinesisvideo:CreateSignalingChannel" can be removed if you are running with existing KVS signaling channels. Viewer sample requires "kinesisvideo:ConnectAsViewer" permission. Integration test requires both "kinesisvideo:ConnectAsViewer" and "kinesisvideo:DeleteSignalingChannel" permission.

  • With the IoT certificate, IoT credentials provider endpoint (Note: it is not the endpoint on IoT AWS Console!), public key and private key ready, you can replace the static credentials provider createStaticCredentialProvider() and freeStaticCredentialProvider() with IoT credentials provider like below, the credentials provider for samples is in createSampleConfiguration():
createLwsIotCredentialProvider(
            "coxxxxxxxx168.credentials.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com",  // IoT credentials endpoint
            "/Users/username/Downloads/iot-signaling/certificate.pem",  // path to iot certificate
            "/Users/username/Downloads/iot-signaling/private.pem.key", // path to iot private key
            "/Users/username/Downloads/iot-signaling/cacert.pem", // path to CA cert
            "KinesisVideoSignalingCameraIoTRoleAlias", // IoT role alias
            channelName, // iot thing name, recommended to be same as your channel name
            &pSampleConfiguration->pCredentialProvider));

freeIotCredentialProvider(&pSampleConfiguration->pCredentialProvider);

Use Pre-generated Certificates

The certificate generating function (createCertificateAndKey) in createDtlsSession() can take between 5 - 15 seconds in low performance embedded devices, it is called for every peer connection creation when KVS WebRTC receives an offer. To avoid this extra start-up latency, certificate can be pre-generated and passed in when offer comes.

Important Note: It is recommended to rotate the certificates often - preferably for every peer connection to avoid a compromised client weakening the security of the new connections.

Take kvsWebRTCClientMaster as sample, add RtcCertificate certificates[CERT_COUNT]; to SampleConfiguration in Samples.h, call create certificate before signalingClientCallbacks.messageReceivedFn = masterMessageReceived; in kvsWebRTCClientMaster.c

createCertificateAndKey(GENERATED_CERTIFICATE_BITS, &pSampleConfiguration->certificates[0].pCertificate, &pSampleConfiguration->certificates[0].pPrivateKey);

Then pass in the pre-generated certificate in initializePeerConnection() in common.c.

configuration.certificates[0].pCertificate = pSampleConfiguration->rtcConfig.certificates[0].pCertificate;
configuration.certificates[0].pPrivateKey = pSampleConfiguration->rtcConfig.certificates[0].pPrivateKey;

Getting the SDPs

If you would like to print out the SDPs, run this command: export DEBUG_LOG_SDP=TRUE

File logging

If you would like to enable file logging, run this command: export AWS_ENABLE_FILE_LOGGING=TRUE

You can also change settings such as buffer size, number of log files for rotation and log file path in the samples

Documentation

All Public APIs are documented in our Include.h, we also generate a Doxygen each commit for easier navigation.
