Use WebRTC to cast chrome
- Linux
- Tested with Debian and PiOS
- nodejs, npm, git, and chromium
- npm install express
- Clone the project.
- Move to the cloned directory:
cd webrtc-cast - If you don't have ssl certs generate self sigend with:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes - To start the services sometimes I launch each service in an individual terminal so I can debug issues.
- Launch the https and websocket server on port 8080:
nodejs nodejs/ws.js
- Launch the https and websocket server on port 8080:
- On both the client and the server you need to accept the ssl certificates. In general setup I run the socket server on ws-server:8080 and the web server on ws-server:8081.
- If you self sign cert then you must accept ssl key for both https://ws-server:8080
- Lanuch chromium in kiosk mode with something like this:
chromium --disable-features=PreloadMediaEngagementData,MediaEngagementBypassAutoplayPolicies --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --ignore-certificate-errors --ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests --ignore-websocket-cert-errors --kiosk https://localhost:8080/listening-chrome.html - Or like this:
chromium --disable-features=PreloadMediaEngagementData,MediaEngagementBypassAutoplayPolicies --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --ignore-certificate-errors --ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests --ignore-websocket-cert-errors --kiosk file:///home/kiosk/webrtc-cast/html/listening-chrome.html - On the client machine you want to share your screen go to https://ws-server:8080 and click the client.html.
