This is re-post of my question on Github, I'm trying to run the videostream-cli sample with differently sized videos.
Re-posting my question,
When using cli.py from the "videostream-cli" sample, I can't get the video stream to transmit/save at any resolution other than 640x480.
I see a few places in "aiortc/mediastreams.py" where this is hardcoded, but even changing them to my video sizes didn't seem to work.
I tried it with this video
wget 'http://downloads.4ksamples.com/videos/PUPPIES%20BATH%20IN%204K%20(ULTRA%20HD)(Original_H.264-AAC)%20(4ksamples.com).mp4' -O 'puppies.mp4'
(or wget 'http://mirrors.standaloneinstaller.com/video-sample/jellyfish-25-mbps-hd-hevc.mp4' -O jellyfish.mp4)
and then ran two peers using
videostream-cli/cli.py offer --play-from 'puppies.mp4'
videostream-cli/cli.py answer --record-to 'received.mp4'
After some of the video is transmitted and written to disk, Ctrl+C those processes and try
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=width,height -of csv=s=x:p=0 puppies.mp4
which should be 4096x2304 (or 1920x1080) and then run
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=width,height -of csv=s=x:p=0 received.mp4
which always returns a 640x480 video
Help, am I missing something?
According to one of the maintainers, this is because PyAV (used in MediaRecorder) sets up a default size of 640x480 which aiortc doesn't change.
