Dashcast audio disabled #129

Closed jemershaw closed 1 year ago

jemershaw commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to stream with dashcast with audio enabled? It seems like whatever is streamed it is disabled. I tried adding muted: false when running dashcast but that didn't help.

I have a dahua camera that is also always muted and the button is grayed out. Am I missing something?

I don't think that's possible. Because: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay/

There should be a way around it... the go2rtc player comes unmuted by default. No?

felipecrs commented 1 year ago

Anyway, the best possible thing would be to stream directly to the cast receiver by using WebRTC.

All Google Cast devices are able to play WebRTC media, I just don't know how this could be implemented.

Maybe this could help.

go2rtc will try to play with sound. But browser can block it. If user not interact with it earlier. And no one interact with Chromecast.

I see. That's very odd!

BTW I just had a crazy idea here. What if instead of relying on Chromecast's built-in browser, we could spin-up a browser in the server-side with Puppeteer, and use Chrome's APIs to cast a page (like the go2rtc web player). This is probably doable.

The question is whether this is worth it or not, versus trying to make the stream happen directly in Chromecast without rendering it through a browser.
