WebRTC Playback: PATCH Session ignored

General

Hi everyone,

We are currently working on a custom integration using the WebRTC-Rest API. We have hit a major roadblock regarding Playback control.

The API documentation for PATCH /sessions/{sessionId} lists parameters like speed and playbackTime (start time), but it also explicitly states: “Currently it’s possible to update the AnswerSDP and the Token.”

Our tests confirm that any attempt to dynamically change the playback speed or jump to a different timestamp via PATCH is simply ignored.
Perhaps we are doing something wrong. Please let us know.

Is there any plan to support dynamic playback updates (speed/playback time) via PATCH in the WebRTC API soon? Or is there an alternative solution?

Thank you,

Nicolò

Because of limitations in the WebRTC standard, we do not support dynamicly changing the playbackTime or speed. To do this, a new connection have to be made, with the change in speed or playbackTime.

We will be looking into improving playback solution of WebRTC, but we have no release date for this.

Ok thank you.
