Media over QUIC
Media over QUIC (MoQ) is a live media delivery protocol utilizing QUIC streams. See the Warp draft.
This repository is a Rust server that supports both contribution (ingest) and distribution (playback). It requires a client, such as moq-js.
Requirements
- rust: duh
- ffmpeg: (optional) used to generate fragmented media
- go: (optional) used to generate self-signed certificates
- openssl: (options) ...also used to generate self-signed certificates
Media
This demo simulates a live stream by reading a file from disk and sleeping based on media timestamps. Obviously you should hook this up to a real live stream to do anything useful.
Download your favorite media file and convert it to fragmented MP4, by default media/fragmented.mp4:
wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4 -O media/source.mp4
./media/generate
Certificates
Unfortunately, QUIC mandates TLS and makes local development difficult. If you have a valid certificate you can use it instead of self-signing.
Otherwise, we use mkcert to install a self-signed CA:
./cert/generate
With no arguments, the server will generate self-signed cert using this root CA. This certificate is only valid for 2 weeks due to how WebTransport performs certificate fingerprinting.
Server
`The Warp server supports WebTransport, pushing media over streams once a connection has been established.
cargo run
This listens for WebTransport connections on https://localhost:4443 by default.
Use a MoQ client to connect to the server.
