Suckless surf + OpenWebRTC

Question

I found out about OpenWebRTC and was wondering if there was a way to implement it in the suckless surf browser. Does anyone know if this is possible and how I would go about it?

I wouldn't use OpenWebRTC, development has stopped and you will probably hit bugs. WebRTC has had some pretty big changes since development has stopped (PlanB -> Unified Plan) and mDNS candidates.

GStreamer itself now has webrtcbin. There are also WebRTC implementations (webrtc.org, aiortc, pion) that can do media!

I would build the WebRTC integration out of process. You could write some IPC and let a 'WebRTC implementation' talk over a socket and exchange SDPs back and forth. I don't know surf's code that well to know how possible that is though.

No problem! If you have any general WebRTC stuff always happy to help on the Pion Slack (even if you aren't using Pion) – Sean DuBois Feb 09 '20 at 05:14
