node-srt installation problem
workwithtariq opened this issue · 6 comments
I wanted to play video with srt protocol on the browser, but I didn't find a way to play it. After doing some research, I wanted to try @eyevinn/srt node package, but when I am trying to install, it produces this error.
$ npm install --save @eyevinn/srt

There seems to be an issue when building the SRT library. Perhaps there are some packages missing in your linux-distribution. You could try cloning the SRT repo with the 1.4.2 tag and see if you can build it manually. Just to verify that it works.
However, if you plan to use SRT in the browser with this library it will not work. This library is an extension to NodeJS and does not compile into wasm or something you can load in your browser.

As SRT is an extension to the UDP protocol it would require changes on a browser tech networking layer, which is something you cannot extend from a browser application. You would need to look into other protocols for realtime video playback in a browser. WebRTC is for example a candidate, or traditional HTTP based streaming protocols such as HLS and MPEG-DASH.
If you want a primer in video streaming (HTTP based) you can have a read here: https://eyevinntechnology.medium.com/internet-video-streaming-abr-part-1-b10964849e19
