Video channel CLI
=================
This example illustrates the establishment of a video stream using an
RTCPeerConnection.
By default the signaling channel used is "copy and paste", but a number of
other signaling mecanisms are available.
By default the sent video is an animated French flag, but it is also possible
to use a MediaPlayer to read media from a file.
This example also illustrates how to use a MediaRecorder to capture media to a
file.
First install the required packages:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install aiortc opencv-python
Running the example
-------------------
To run the example, you will need instances of the `cli` example:
- The first takes on the role of the offerer. It generates an offer which you
must copy-and-paste to the answerer.
.. code-block:: console
$ python cli.py offer
- The second takes on the role of the answerer. When given an offer, it will
generate an answer which you must copy-and-paste to the offerer.
.. code-block:: console
$ python cli.py answer
Additional options
------------------
If you want to play a media file instead of sending the example image, run:
.. code-block:: console
$ python cli.py offer --play-from video.mp4
If you want to recording the received video you can run one of the following:
.. code-block:: console
$ python cli.py answer --record-to video.mp4
$ python cli.py answer --record-to video-%3d.png
