So basically the error was entirely misleading

simple-whip-client creates SDP offers in sendrecv mode, so it doesn't work with cloudflare stream right now

and cloudflare stream also requires exactly one video and one audio stream, so any workflow I do I have to include a random, unused audio stream

Ah, yeah, I love the one about broken driver on RPi and v4l2h264enc, what it actually means you're feeding it a wrong input format :D

Yup, sendonly also bit me on the ass, had everything working and then it just broke after an update

I was able to rewrite the direction by modifying simple-whip-client, but I couldn't figure out why it was only changing direction for the video stream and not audio

so that was basically a dead end

the go-whip client linked in the cloudflare docs is super rough, and doesn't include any samples

I need to check what the parameter I used was, can look it up once I'm back at my machine

And also clean up and decouple my code so I can post it on GitHub to hopefully help someone out

oh, and compiling gstreamer is a total nightmare

0/10 not recommended

Oh yes, especially the rust plugins

the rust stuff is the easiest imo

That's why I gave up on whipsink, just too much pain since it's not in the repos

the main issue is that nobody lists the damn dependencies you need

so yeah I can build a barebones gstreamer with almost no dependencies

which is cool

but there's 0 help if you want to build it out

Couldn't get the cross compile working properly for it, and it ate like 12 gogs of space and took an hour on a Pi :D

yuck

currently looking at ffmpeg and libdatachannel

and then just implementing whip myself

Ffmpeg docs though, ugh

Gstreamer is bad, but ffmpeg...

eh, helps to already know all about ffmpeg

libffmpeg I mean, not the CLI stuff

right

And no, I'm no expert to begin with

Just wondering, gstreamer 1.20 ?
