HEVC Roadmap?

[bchah]

Hello friends, can we please get an update on your roadmap for HEVC support? For me it is most needed in the WebRTC Publisher. But other requests like HEVC in RTSP & RTMP Enhanced have been pending for some time so it would be great to see some updates around HEVC. Thank you!

Enhanced RTMP is planned on our roadmap, and unfortunately, as far as I know, no browser supports HEVC in WebRTC yet.

Thank you for the response. To my delight I've seen that HEVC in WebRTC (WHIP/WHEP) is fully supported in iOS and macOS Safari, or in Chrome on Windows with a GPU and these flags:

chrome.exe --enable-features=PlatformHEVCEncoderSupport,WebRtcAllowH265Receive,WebRtcAllowH265Send --force-fieldtrials=WebRTC-Video-H26xPacketBuffer/Enabled

If others are doing it, that means OME can do it even better 😀 OvenLiveKit could also support HEVC transmission.

Oh... actually I didn't know this was built into chrome. Now it's our turn.
