Before running any of the following pipelines you need to set up the credentials using the environment variables or adding the element properties to the kinesiswebrtcbin element.
Setup
In order to test the below pipelines, after completing the AWS registration process and Keys generation, you can use the following web page to run tests: https://awslabs.github.io/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-js/examples/index.html. Make sure you complete the following:
- Use same region you used in the AWS account setup
- Add your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key
- Add channel name and make sure it matches with the element channel property.
- Depending on your use case, select Video only, Audio only, or both.
- Let STUN/TURN NAT Traversal option as default.
- Keep Use trickle ICE selected.
- You are ready to run the pipelines below, depending on the video, and audio selection. For example, by running a pipeline with a video sender component, you will see something like this:
kinesiswebrtcbin as Master:
kinesiswebrtcbin as Viewer:
Before running the pipelines, make sure you have the credentials and channel properly set up as follows. Please recall to use a custom channel name to avoid conflict with other WebRTC tests running with the same AWS instance.
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your AWS account access key> export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your AWS account secret key> export SIGNALING_CHANNEL=<Your channel name> export CHANNEL_ROLE=<master|viewer>
For RidgeRun engineers only, AWS credentials and keys for testing can be found here.
Notice that when on Viewer mode, if you're kinesiswebrtcbin is sending data the pipeline will throw an error if the Master disconnects.

Troubleshooting
If there is no video from the app side (if the pipeline does not connect to the viewer), please check that the region property of the element matches the region in the signaling channel site. The default region of the element is us-west-1, thus, if the signal channel has us-east-1 and the pipeline uses the default region, then the connection is not going to work. But, if both are set to stream under the us-west-1 region, then the connection will be successful.
