Type Parameters

Constructors

LocalMediaBase()

Initializes a new instance of the LocalMediaBase<TLocalMedia, TAudioTrack, TVideoTrack> class.

Declaration

public LocalMediaBase()

Properties

AudioEncoding

Gets the local audio encoding configuration. If there are multiple audio tracks in a custom media stack, this method calls into the first audio track.

Declaration

public AudioEncodingConfig AudioEncoding { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AudioEncodingConfig

AudioEncodings

Gets or sets the local audio encoding configurations. Audio encodings cannot be empty, so if you set an encoding with a null value or an empty array, this method creates an empty array with one AudioEncodingConfig in it.
If a new audio encodings array has the same number of encodings as the current one, the new audio encodings are applied to the local media’s audio track. Otherwise, an exception is thrown because the number of audio encodings cannot be changed once they are set.

Declaration

public AudioEncodingConfig[] AudioEncodings { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AudioEncodingConfig[]

AudioSimulcastDisabled

Gets or sets whether audio simulcast is disabled.

Declaration

public bool AudioSimulcastDisabled { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

AudioSimulcastEncodingCount

Gets or sets the maximum number of simulcast encodings that this media produces for the audio stream.
The number of encodings cannot be changed once they are set.
This property must be set before the media starts.

Declaration

public int AudioSimulcastEncodingCount { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32

AudioSimulcastPreferredBitrate

Gets or sets the preferred audio simulcast bitrate, in kbps. The bitrate must be a positive integer.

Declaration

public int AudioSimulcastPreferredBitrate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32

DefaultVideoBitsPerPixel

Gets or sets the default bits-per-pixel for video.

Declaration

public static double DefaultVideoBitsPerPixel { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double

State

Gets the current state of this media. The possible states are defined in the enumeration LocalMediaState. Use this property to check if, for example, the media instance is starting, has started, is stopping, or has stopped.

Declaration

public LocalMediaState State { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
LocalMediaState

VideoEncoding

Gets the local video encoding configuration.
If there are multiple video tracks in a custom media stack, this method calls into the first video track. Returns the local VideoEncodingConfig.

Declaration

public VideoEncodingConfig VideoEncoding { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
VideoEncodingConfig

VideoEncodings

Gets or sets the local video encoding configurations. Video encodings cannot be empty, so if you set the value of this method to null or an empty array, an exception is thrown.
The number of video encodings cannot be changed once set. If the number of new video encodings is different from the existing number of video encodings, an error is thrown. If a new video encoding array has the same number of encodings as the current one, the encodings are applied to the media’s VP8, VP9, H.264, and H.265 controllers, converters, encoders, and packetizers.
For controllers which inherit from FrameRatePipe, that means setting controller.OutputSynchronizationSource to the encoding.SynchronizationSource. If the encoding.FrameRate is greater than zero, this sets the controller.MaxFrameRate and controller.TargetFrameRate to the encoding.FrameRate.
For converters which are the ImageScalePipe type, that means setting converter.MaxScale and converter.TargetScale to encoding.Scale, as long as encoding.Scale is greater than zero.
For encoders, if the encoder's output format is not a fixed bitrate and encoding.Bitrate is greater than zero, that means setting the encoder.MaxBitrate and encoder.TargetBitrate to encoding.Bitrate.
For packetizers, that means setting packetizer.Deactivated to encoding.Deactivated.

Declaration

public VideoEncodingConfig[] VideoEncodings { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
VideoEncodingConfig[]

VideoSimulcastBitsPerPixel

Gets or sets the video simulcast bits per pixel (bpp). The bits per pixel value must be greater than or equal to zero.
If the video source has declared a target width, height, and frame rate, and VideoSimulcastBitsPerPixel has a set value, then the encoding bitrates are calculated with setVideoSimulcastBitsPerPixel’s value instead of the preferred bitrate.

Declaration

public double VideoSimulcastBitsPerPixel { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double

VideoSimulcastDegradationPreference

Gets or sets the video’s simulcast degradation preference.
The following degradation preferences can be set:
Automatic: Prefers to automate degradation based on video type. A Screen video type prefers to degrade FrameRate. A Camera video type prefers to degrade Resolution. An unknown video type prefers a Balanced approach.
Balanced: Prefers to degrade both FrameRate and Resolution together in smaller increments.
FrameRate: Prefers to degrade FrameRate instead of Resolution.
Resolution: Prefers to degrade Resolution instead of FrameRate.

Declaration

public VideoDegradationPreference VideoSimulcastDegradationPreference { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
VideoDegradationPreference

VideoSimulcastDisabled

Gets or sets whether video simulcast is disabled. If true, video simulcast is disabled. If false, video simulcast is enabled.

Declaration

public bool VideoSimulcastDisabled { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

VideoSimulcastEncodingCount

Gets or sets the maximum number of simulcast encodings that this LocalMedia produces for the video stream. The default value is 2. For LiveSwitch Media Server, the maximum is 4 encodings. This property must be set before the LocalMedia starts.

Declaration

public int VideoSimulcastEncodingCount { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32

VideoSimulcastPreferredBitrate

Gets or sets the preferred bitrate of a video simulcast in Kbps. The bitrate must be a positive integer.

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32
