Remote video Not Playing

I am trying to deploy the openvidu app on Ubuntu with native. After installation i am able to access openvidu dashboard https://173.212.233.93:8443/ following authorization details:

Username: OPENVIDUAPP

Password: MY_SECRET

when i run test it doesnot play remote video and is just loading loading loading… i try this test on my desktop with no camera and mircophone then all the test goes ok just in couple of sec.

Same in case of my application when i try to run my application it doesnot play the remote connected user video. But is shows that a new user join the sessison a new video element is created.

Thanks in advance. !

Hi @pabloFuente

I am getting same error, I have followed example of web component each & every step. I have deployed on AWS Linux(ubuntu) server. I am using docker container for OpenVidu server and Kurento as stated in document. I have also opened all ports in security groups but still nothing works. Also when I create session I can only see the video streaming of self but not the person who has joined. Please help me.

“It is no creating subscriber video to the publisher”. That’s how it is supposed to work. Publisher users can receive and send video, but Subscriber users can only receive. If you want a N:N communication, all of your users must be Publishers. openvidu-mvc -node works this way: all users are Publishers, so all of them can see each other, as you can see in this demo (its behaviour is exactly the same as openvidu-mvc-node).

I see this in your javascript code:

session.connect(token, '{"clientData": "' + nickName + '"}', function (error) {

		// If the connection is successful, initialize a publisher and publish to the session
		if (!error) {

			// socket.emit('add user', window.username);
			// Here we check somehow if the user has at least 'PUBLISHER' role before
			// trying to publish its stream. Even if someone modified the client's code and
			// published the stream, it wouldn't work if the token sent in Session.connect
			// method doesn't belong to a 'PUBLIHSER' role
			if (isPublisher()) {

				// --- 4) Get your own camera stream ---

				var publisher = OV.initPublisher('video-container', {
					audio: true,        // Whether you want to transmit audio or not
					video: true,        // Whether you want to transmit video or not
					audioActive: true,  // Whetehr you want to start the publishing with your audio unmuted ot muted
					videoActive: true,  // Whether you want to join the publishing with your video enabled or disabled
					quality: 'MEDIUM',  // The quality of yur video ('LOW', 'MEDIUM', 'HIGH')
					screen: false       // true to get your screen as video source instead of your camera.
					// See 'How do I...?' -> 'Screen share' section to learn more
				}, function (error) {       // Function to be executed in case the PUblisher initialization fails
					if (error) {
						console.log('Error while initializing publisher: ', error);
					}
				});

				// When our HTML video has been added to DOM...
				publisher.on('videoElementCreated', function (event) {
					// Init the main video with ours and append our data
					var userData = {
						nickName: nickName,
						userName: userName
					};
					initMainVideo(event.element, userData);
					appendUserData(event.element, userData);
					$(event.element).prop('muted', true); // Mute local video
					// socket.emit('add user', username);
				});


				// --- 5) Publish your stream ---

				session.publish(publisher);

			} else {
				console.warn('You don\'t have permissions to publish');

				initMainVideoThumbnail(); // Show SUBSCRIBER message in main video
			}

If condition if (isPublisher()) { is false, your user will not publish its video. Check that condition to fix this.
