• Use deck.js as a remote presentation tool

  8 janvier 2014, par silvia

  deck.js is one of the new HTML5-based presentation tools. It’s simple to use, in particular for your basic, every-day presentation needs. You can also create more complex slides with animations etc. if you know your HTML and CSS.

  Yesterday at linux.conf.au (LCA), I gave a presentation using deck.js. But I didn’t give it from the lectern in the room in Perth where LCA is being held – instead I gave it from the comfort of my home office at the other end of the country.

  I used my laptop with in-built webcam and my Chrome browser to give this presentation. Beforehand, I had uploaded the presentation to a Web server and shared the link with the organiser of my speaker track, who was on site in Perth and had set up his laptop in the same fashion as myself. His screen was projecting the Chrome tab in which my slides were loaded and he had hooked up the audio output of his laptop to the room speaker system. His camera was pointed at the audience so I could see their reaction.

  I loaded a slide master URL :
  http://html5videoguide.net/presentations/lca_2014_webrtc/?master
  and the room loaded the URL without query string :
  http://html5videoguide.net/presentations/lca_2014_webrtc/.

  Then I gave my talk exactly as I would if I was in the same room. Yes, it felt exactly as though I was there, including nervousness and audience feedback.

  How did we do that ? WebRTC (Web Real-time Communication) to the rescue, of course !

  We used one of the modules of the rtc.io project called rtc-glue to add the video conferencing functionality and the slide navigation to deck.js. It was actually really really simple !

  Here are the few things we added to deck.js to make it work :

  • Code added to index.html to make the video connection work :

    <meta name="rtc-signalhost" content="http://rtc.io/switchboard/">
    
    <meta name="rtc-room" content="lca2014">
    
    ...
    
    <video id="localV" rtc-capture="camera" muted></video>
    
    <video id="peerV" rtc-peer rtc-stream="localV"></video>
    
    ...
    
    <script src="glue.js"></script>
    
    <script>
    
    glue.config.iceServers = [{ url: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302' }];
    
    </script>

    The iceServers config is required to punch through firewalls – you may also need a TURN server. Note that you need a signalling server – in our case we used http://rtc.io/switchboard/, which runs the code from rtc-switchboard.

  • Added glue.js library to deck.js :

    Downloaded from https://raw.github.com/rtc-io/rtc-glue/master/dist/glue.js into the source directory of deck.js.

  • Code added to index.html to synchronize slide navigation :

    glue.events.once('connected', function(signaller) {
    
      if (location.search.slice(1) !== '') {
    
        $(document).bind('deck.change', function(evt, from, to) {
    
          signaller.send('/slide', {
    
            idx: to,
    
            sender: signaller.id
    
          });
    
        });
    
      }
    
      signaller.on('slide', function(data) {
    
        console.log('received notification to change to slide: ', data.idx);
    
        $.deck('go', data.idx);
    
      });
    
    });

    This simply registers a callback on the slide master end to send a slide position message to the room end, and a callback on the room end that initiates the slide navigation.

  And that’s it !

  You can find my slide deck on GitHub.

  Feel free to write your own slides in this manner – I would love to have more users of this approach. It should also be fairly simple to extend this to share pointer positions, so you can actually use the mouse pointer to point to things on your slides remotely. Would love to hear your experiences !

  Note that the slides are actually a talk about the rtc.io project, so if you want to find out more about these modules and what other things you can do, read the slide deck or watch the talk when it has been published by LCA.

  Many thanks to Damon Oehlman for his help in getting this working.

  BTW : somebody should really fix that print style sheet for deck.js – I’m only ever getting the one slide that is currently showing.

• Find out what device to use for capturing with ffmpeg ?

  14 septembre 2013, par wvxvw

  I'm trying to broadcast my screen and I cannot capture audio. There's one complication however. I don't have pulseaudio, and it simply doesn't work on my system, so installing it is out of question. Below is the command I'm trying :

  ffmpeg -f alsa -i ??? -f x11grab -s 1920x1200 -r 15 -i :0.0 \
  
      -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 \
  
      -preset fast -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 1280x800 -threads 0 -f flv "$URL"

  Here's the list of my audio devices :

  I know that ??? should be something like hw:X,Y, but maybe it can be something else. I can't find the corresponding entry in the man page.

  As an aside, it would be great if you can suggest another audio codec. I can't find what are the options, and this particular one isn't compatible with FLV because of too high bitrate.

  PS. This is the error I'm getting :

  Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid data found when processing input
