rtcprobe

Overview ¶

rtcprobe connects to a vnbox stream over WebRTC like a browser would and records what it receives, to check the server without a browser:

rtcprobe -url 'http://host:8080/g/<name>/' -cookie 'vnbox=<token>' -codec h264 -sec 10 -out /tmp/probe

It writes <out>.h264 (or .ivf) and <out>.ogg, and prints the bytes received. -lossy N claims heavy packet loss in receiver reports for the first N seconds (then none), to watch the server lower the video rate and raise it again.
