Debugging WebRTC? Ever wanted a bit more visibility into the flow of a WebRTC call?\u00a0 Or see exactly what PeerConnection API calls were made and when? Have we got a debugging deal (dev tools plugin) for you! Go here<\/a> or search for “dev tools media panel” on about:addons.<\/p>\n

Getting Started<\/h3>\n

After loading the plugin and starting a call on, for example, appear.in, open the dev tools (Tools -> Web Developer -> Toggle Tools).\u00a0 Next, click on the \u201cMedia-Webrtc\u201d pane.\u00a0 The “Media-Webrtc” pane is most likely at the far right. Finally, selecting the Webrtc tab shows something like:\"\"
\n<\/p>\n

Expanding the PeerConnection element shows live updates on bytes\/packets transmitted and received for RTP and RTCP streams as well as a list of API calls (including arguments) and a list of ice candidates, also with live updates on incoming and outgoing bytes.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h3>\n

Expanding the API info section, you\u2019ll see a list of API calls like this:\"\"<\/p>\n

You can even expand some of the api calls for details. Of particular note, expanding setRemoteDescription or setLocalDescription calls shows the raw SDP received.\"\"<\/p>\n

And finally, the following two example screenshots show the ICE candidates and RTP\/RTCP data available. The received and transmitted bytes counters update automatically:\"\"<\/p>\n

The code for the add-on is hosted on GitHub here<\/a>. Lastly, we welcome Pull Requests! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Debugging WebRTC?
