Using the library

Minimal Example:

// Callbacks
void started(void *myContext) {
    // Start capturing audio & video
}

void failed(void *myContext, caff_Result result) {
    // Handle error
    // Stop capturing if necessary
}


// Once on startup
caff_initialize("example", "1.0", caff_SeverityDebug, NULL);


// Starting a broadcast
caff_InstanceHandle instance = caff_createInstance();
caff_Result result = caff_signIn(instance, "Myuser", "|\\/|Yp455WYrd", NULL);
if (result != caff_ResultSuccess) return -1;
result = caff_startBroadcast(instance, &myContext, "My title!", caff_RatingNone, NULL, started, failed);


// On your video/audio capture thread(s)
caff_sendVideo(
    instance, caff_VideoFormatNv12, pixels, pixelBytes, width, height, caff_TimestampGenerate);
caff_sendAudio(instance, samples, 2);


// When it's over:
caff_endBroadcast(instance);
caff_freeInstance(&instance);

Build instructions

Windows

Prereqs:

  • Visual Studio 2019 with "Desktop development with C++" selected and "C++ Clang tools for Windows" installed.

Steps:

  • Download the latest version of webrtc-prebuilt-windows.7z from https://github.com/caffeinetv/webrtc/releases
  • Extract the file somewhere convenient
  • Set WEBRTC_ROOT_DIR environment variable to the directory you extracted the files to
  • Download obsdeps "https://obsproject.com/downloads/dependencies2019.zip" . Extract file
  • Set DepsPath environment variable to directory you extracted files to. This is needed to get curl
  • In the libcaffeine root directory:
    • mkdir build64
    • cmake -H. -Bbuild64 -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A "x64" -T "ClangCL" -D BUILD_TESTS=OFF -DWEBRTC_ROOT_DIR="%WEBRTC_ROOT_DIR%" -DDepsPath="%DepsPath%\win64\include" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="%VSINSTALLATION%/VC/Tools/Llvm/bin/clang.exe" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="%VSINSTALLATION%/VC/Tools/Llvm/bin/clang++.exe"
    • start libcaffeine.sln
  • Build the solution in Visual Studio

Mac

Prereqs:

  • Xcode
  • CMAKE

Steps:

  • Download the latest version of webrtc-prebuilt-macos.7z from https://github.com/caffeinetv/webrtc/releases
  • Extract the archive somewhere convenient
  • Set WEBRTC_ROOT_DIR environment variable to the directory you extracted the files to
  • In the libcaffeine root directory:
    • mkdir build
    • cd build
    • cmake .. -G Xcode
    • Build the project in Xcode

Note: if the cmake command above fails, it may be due to the XCode commandline tools being selected. To resolve this, reset your XCode selection and retry: sudo xcode-select -r

    • include
    • lib32
    • lib64
  • Copy caffeine.h into include
  • Copy the .dll and .pdb files into the binXX folders
  • Copy the .lib files into the libXX folders
  • From CMakeFiles/Export/libXX/cmake folder copy libcaffeineTarget.cmake, libcaffeineTarget-debug.cmake , libcaffeineTarget-debug.cmake into libXX/cmake
  • Copy libcaffeineConfig.cmake into libXX/cmake
  • Copy libcaffeineConfigVersion.cmake into libXX/cmake
  • 7z a libcaffeine-vX.Y-windows libcaffeine-vX.Y-windows.7z

Mac:

  • Build for macOS
  • Create a folder named libcaffeine-vX.Y-macos
  • Inside that create these folders:
    • binXX
    • include
