Maxim Solodovnik closed OPENMEETINGS-550. ----------------------------------------- > GSOC: Improvements for video conferencing with limited bandwidth. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OPENMEETINGS-550 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-550 > Project: Openmeetings > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Irina Arkhipets > Assignee: Maxim Solodovnik > Priority: Major > Labels: gsoc, gsoc2015, gsoc2016, java, mentor > Fix For: 5.0.0 > > > The main idea of this task is to allow client to choose video quality from > his side. > I.e. client itself could influence the transferred amount of data to it. > From the Sebastian's e-mail: > ... > So what could be realized is that every stream that is broadcasted from one > user via webcam to Red5/OpenMeetings will be re-transcoded into multiple > streams (high, middle, low) bandwidth. > So there might be some limitations to that: - "high" quality will never be > better then the original material. We can't make a picture better then the > original. So all re-transcoding will only make the original to lower quality, > never to higher. - Re-transcoding has to happen on the server side (and > number of streams are limited, we can't provide a stream on the required > bandwidth "on-demand" for each user, or only with very big effort) - it will > require real-time transcoding on server side which is possible with FFMPEG > and some integration into Red5. But we would need a very specialized student > that is keen and very motiviated as there is hardly any documentation on that > available in the internet. What a project makes a success is if all > participant know the potential outcome and the tools and methods that are > needed to realize that. I would be happy to put this project on our list but > it will be difficult to find somebody with the needed skills. > ... > Please take a look here for more clarification: > http://markmail.org/message/g36swvjk6j33dwoi#query:+page:1+mid:mbeg6lfd3wonm6jl+state:results -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
