file using the LiveKit SDKs. Here are the main approaches:
• Python SDK: Use the av
library to decode the MP4 file, convert frames to the required format, and yield them as VideoFrame
objects. Create a VideoSource
and LocalVideoTrack
, then publish the track to the room. This method allows direct streaming of MP4 files.
• Go SDK: First, convert your MP4 file to a supported format (like H.264) using ffmpeg
. Then, use NewLocalFileTrack
to publish the encoded file as a video track.
• LiveKit CLI: Convert the MP4 to H.264, then use the CLI to join a room and publish the video file as a track.
Key requirements:
• MP4 files must be converted to supported codecs (H.264, VP8, or VP9) before publishing
• Set the correct frame rate and video dimensions when publishing
If you need a step-by-step code example for a specific SDK (Python or Go), let me know which one you prefer.
