The web does not receive the stream of the phone

Hello,

I’ve been having a problem for some time now. I’m developing an application with React Native that communicates via WebRTC to another application in React.js. I can get my video feedback and the stream (audio/video) from the React.js application but I can’t receive the stream from the React Native application to the React.js application, yet there is indeed an AddIceCandidate which is played as well as a RemoteDescription and LocalDescription on both sides but I have the impression that the event onaddstream is not fired on the React.js side whereas it’s on the React Native side, which makes the stream audio/video is well added (I think).

Has either of you ever encountered this problem?

Hello again,

I’ve been able to investigate a little more and it looks like the SDP on the phone isn’t okay.
The video tracks would be missing and the recvonly value would be incorrect (I think).

Below is the SDP of the phone application

        </View>
      )}
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}

export default App;

I’ve been stuck for a few days now and I can’t find out what I might have missed in the configuration of the React Native application… :pray:

Hi, I found a solution to this problem, the bottom line is that the addTrack API is not implemented in react-native-webrtc, and you need to implement it yourself, here is the issue where the solution is written in detail https://github.com/peers/peerjs/issues/612

I had same issue before. The problem was - app sdp sent too earlier.
your web sdp has msid with string but your app doesn’t. (example from above code)

your app’s sdp has this (incorrect)
a=msid-semantic: WMS

your web’s sdp has this (correct)
a=msid-semantic: WMS nf9qrVa8UUSEz58PoYZvxZJxneCBl4xBnauc . <— this

Should all offer and answer both have some random strings for msid-semantic.

Try to send your app’s offer/answer sdp AFTER added all tracks on the peerConnection
(After when event.candidate is null in onicecandidate event)

Not sure this is the best solution but I hope it helps you
