Tell HN: Twitch.tv now supports WebRTC ingestion (via WHIP)

You can use it today with these values. If you have any feedback/questions I would love to hear.

* URL - https://g.webrtc.live-video.net:4443/v2/offer

* Bearer Token - (Twitch Stream Key)

You can stream from your browser or from other tools like OBS. You can get a build of OBS that supports WebRTC here. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7926. This doesn't use all the features of WebRTC yet, but it will continue getting better and better.

I'm not entirely sure I've been able to get this to work.

I do get back an SDP, and Twitch says my stream is excellent, but I get an Error #1000 from Twitch; video download was cancelled. This is when using OBS WHIP.

When I try it via the browser, I get "site has been blocked by CORS policy", so it seems the end point isn't browser friendly.

When I bypass the CORS with a proxy, things negotiate, except I end up with a zero frame rate and missing (or strange?) media codec information. In this case, Twitch doesn't respond, but the browser thinks there is a connection.

I added support for this new Twitch webRTC endpoint to VDO.Ninja. You can try it out here: https://vdo.ninja/alpha/whip

WOOOOOOOO!

How do you try it directly from a browser?

Thanks
