Remote video not showing up on one end - WebRTC Video chat app - javascript

I'm new to webrtc and react. I'm developing a peer to peer video chat app. On the calling side, both remote video and local video shows up. But on the callee side, only local video shows up. I've been trying to find out where I'm doing wrong but not able to figure it out. One thing I noticed when I console.log peerconnection variable inside handle ice candidate function is, the 'connectionState' is still 'connecting' on the callee side.('connected' on the caller side).
EDIT: I have modified code for readability and using async await. Now I am getting "Failed to execute 'addIceCandidate' on 'RTCPeerConnection': Error processing ICE candidate" error.
EDIT 2: Modified code according to answer
Here is my ORIGINAL code
//refs for my video tag
const localVideoRef = useRef("");
const remoteVideoRef = useRef("");
//video elements
<video ref={remoteVideoRef} playsInline autoPlay className="remoteVideo"></video>
<video ref={localVideoRef} playsInline autoPlay muted className="localVideo"></video>
//button to start call
<button onClick={handleCall}>Call</button>

I have not put my server side code, because I find no issues in it.
From what I understand, the error is because remotedescription is not being set when addicecandidate is called. May be because I am skipping setting remote description when signalingState is stable. But if I remove that line of code, I am getting another error - "Failed to set remote answer sdp: Called in wrong state: kStable"
Where am I going wrong?

Immediately after calling pc.setLocalDescription(), the PeerConnection will start emitting onicecandidate events, thanks to Trickle ICE. However, this means that maybe the first candidates are generated too fast and they get sent to the remote peer even before sending SDP Offer/Answer!
Maybe that's what happens in your case, and the first candidates are arriving too early from the other side. For this reason it's a good idea to check the PeerConnection signaling state: if it is stable and the remote description has been already set, then you can call pc.addIceCandidate(). If not, you store the candidate in a queue.
Later, when the remote description finally arrives, after setting it you manually add all the candidates that are waiting in the queue.
Here you can see code with this idea. Candidates are first queued, and later when the PeerConnection signaling state becomes stable, queued items are added.

If the caller uses chrome and the callee uses FireFox (on localhost, same PC) the code works fine and both users can share their screen.
output with chrome
If the caller uses FireFox and the callee uses Chrome (still on localhost) the code still works fine, but the connection is not established and users cannot see the screen of the other person. I get no error in the console.
output with FireFox
In particular, with FF I am not getting "connection state change: connecting" and then "connection state change: connected".
My guess is that FF and chrome manage the async/await differently, and somehow with FF some values are not ready when actually needed, but cannot figure out why ...
with safari (MacOS) it does not work!!
I then tried it between the computer (with chrome) and an Android phone (chrome browser). It worked the first time I test it, and then never again :(
Does anyone of you has a clue ?

My peer's stream doesn't appear, what am I doing wrong? [WebRTC]

I'm trying to receive my partner's stream but it's not working, I don't know if I'm misimplementing the example given by WebRTC website and I can't understand it well because I'm new to this.
That I have to do?
const connection = new RTCPeerConnection({ iceServers: [{ urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302' }] });
async function start() {
const localStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true, audio: true});
localStream.getTracks().forEach(track => {
connection.addTrack(track, localStream);
});
}
const remoteVideo = document.querySelector('.remote-video');
connection.addEventListener('track', async (event) => {
const remoteStream = event.streams[0];
remoteVideo.srcObject = remoteStream;
connection.addTrack(event.track);
});
Please Try This:-
const start = async () => {try {
const constraints = { video: { cursor: "always" }, audio: false };
const localStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(
constraints
);
screenStream = localStream;
let videoTrack = screenStream.getVideoTracks()[0];
return localStream;
} catch (error) {}}
const remoteVideo = document.querySelector('.remote-video')
function handleRemoteStreamAddedScreen(event) {
alert("Remote stream added.")
if ("srcObject" in remoteVideo) {
remoteVideo.srcObject = event.streams[0]
} else {
remoteVideo.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(event.stream)}
remoteScreenStream = event.stream}
I hope it will be work for you.

How to identify if this code for implementing webrtc is working correctly?

I'm currently working on a webrtc project that was written before from another developer.
While I'm currently new to webrtc and I tried hard to make it work after deleting obsolete functions and other things, now can I identify what is wrong here in my steps?
I'm following steps in here
my code here is about trigger .call button
$(dod)
.find(".call")
and I run throw signaling
wbsc.emit("SEND_EVENT_EMIT_CALL_AUDIO", {
data: { type: "login", id: id },
});
$(dod).hide();
//call*donecallProccess 1
setTimeout(() => {
wbsc.emit("SEND_EVENT_EMIT_CALL_AUDIO", {
data: { type: "doneoif", id: id },
});
}, 2e3);
that can trigger and process here
case "donecall":
call(data.id);
break;
case "showcall":
handleLogin(data.success, data.id);
break;
case "offercall":
handleOffer(data.offer, data.name);
break;
case "answercall":
handleAnswer(data.answer);
break;
case "candidatecall":
handleCandidate(data.candidate);
break;
case "leavecall":
handleLeave();
then this code run one after each handle login and getUserMediaSuccess
gather permission from media stream and create a new RTCPeerConnection(servers)
get tracks from my streams with addtrack if I implement it correctly
and if ontrack happened can I collect streaming to add to remote peer like this way or should just add
yourConn.ontrack = (event) => {
if (event.candidate !== null) {
remoteVideo.srcObject = event.streams[0];
} else {
console.log("there is an error with on trackevent", event);
}
};
complete code for previous handlelogin and call is

}
in here here number 7 instruction they said should I add Wait for an incoming remote SDP description from the signaling service and set it using RTCPeerConnection.setRemoteDescription(). as the caller where can I add it? in handleCandidate function?
and in the callee side number 1 instruction the said that I should
Create a new RTCPeerConnection instance with the appropriate ICE configuration.
can I reuse
yourConn = new RTCPeerConnection(servers);
or should instantiate a new one to prevent conflict in website server process
as a not yourConn it's global value and in top level of this file and reuse it over all
the connection, is peers 2 or the callee should have another new RTCPeerConnection?
and for remoteVideo.srcObject = remoteStream; the remoteStream value is global and I overwrite it. can I here add new media stream or just it's good to dealing with the present one which is remoteVideo element?
// remoteStream = new MediaStream();
remoteVideo.srcObject = remoteStream;
the issue that was here is to split the RTCPeerConnection object and just create new one for each peer local and remote that what i did and it working corectly after i remove addtrack completly and replace it with addtranceiver and gettranceiver
u can find it here from previous issue's answer and i fix it here
and no need to overwrite or reset the srcObect value. The track transition on receiver side in the same MediaStream should be "seamless" RTCRtpSender.replaceTrack
This allows you to seamlessly change which track is being sent without having to renegotiate at the expense of another offer/answer cycle

Remote video not showing the stream

Im not sure what is wrong. The caller and callee both receive the same stream that is getting set in local video but it wont set the remote video.
I have seen it worked before when I clicked the call button twice but I changed the code and dont know how to recreate it.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Update
Im not sure why this is the case but I have to send just the offer and receive the answer again. For now, I resend an offer createAndSendOffer(), starting the process again. I dont think this is the best practice and if you find a better solution that would be great :)
first check your pc.ontrack() firing or not. pc.ontrack() event is fired after pc.addTrack() and remotedescription is set.and also make sure tracks are added before creating answer/offer

WebRTC: Connection is successful but answering peer never receives "track" events

With two peers connected via WebRTC, we can see the peer connection is complete, yet only one client is receiving the video stream (the "offering" peer). The "answering" peer is never receiving "track" events (peerConnection.ontrack).
Code for the "answering" peer that displays the problem:
const peerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection({ iceServers: [{ urls: 'stun:stun1.l.google.com:19302' }]});
const localStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true });
localStream.getTracks().forEach((track) => { peerConnection.addTrack(track, localStream) });
const { data } = await axios.get("http://{HIDDEN}/offer");
if (data) {
// console.log('received offer', data.offer)
await peerConnection.setRemoteDescription(data.offer);
const answer = await peerConnection.createAnswer();
await peerConnection.setLocalDescription(answer);
connectionInfo.current.answer = peerConnection.localDescription;
data.iceCandidates.forEach(async (candidate: any) => {
await peerConnection.addIceCandidate(candidate);
});
// Set peer connection event handlers
peerConnection.onicecandidate = (event) => {
if (event.candidate) connectionInfo.current.iceCandidates.push(event.candidate);
};
peerConnection.onicegatheringstatechange = async () => {
if (peerConnection.iceGatheringState === "complete" && connectionInfo.current.answer) {
await axios.post("http://{HIDDEN}/answer", connectionInfo.current);
}
};
peerConnection.ontrack = async (event) => {
remoteStream.addTrack(event.track);
};
if (peerConnection.iceGatheringState === "complete") {
await axios.post("http://{HIDDEN}/answer", connectionInfo.current);
}
}
I found this post which mentions your problem and suggests that the order in which event listeners are created relative to the peerConnection.setRemoteDescription() call is the problem: https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/issues/198
Moving the event handlers immediately after the new RTCPeerConnection initialization (before the description setting) should fix the issue. For example:
const peerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection({ iceServers: [{ urls: 'stun:stun1.l.google.com:19302' }]});
// Set peer connection event handlers - MOVED UP HERE
peerConnection.onicecandidate = (event) => {
if (event.candidate) connectionInfo.current.iceCandidates.push(event.candidate);
};
peerConnection.onicegatheringstatechange = async () => {
if (peerConnection.iceGatheringState === "complete" && connectionInfo.current.answer) {
await axios.post("http://{HIDDEN}/answer", connectionInfo.current);
}
};
peerConnection.ontrack = async (event) => {
remoteStream.addTrack(event.track);
};
const localStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true });
localStream.getTracks().forEach((track) => { peerConnection.addTrack(track, localStream) });
const { data } = await axios.get("http://{HIDDEN}/offer");
if (data) {
// console.log('received offer', data.offer)
await peerConnection.setRemoteDescription(data.offer);
const answer = await peerConnection.createAnswer();
await peerConnection.setLocalDescription(answer);
connectionInfo.current.answer = peerConnection.localDescription;
data.iceCandidates.forEach(async (candidate: any) => {
await peerConnection.addIceCandidate(candidate);
});
if (peerConnection.iceGatheringState === "complete") {
await axios.post("http://{HIDDEN}/answer", connectionInfo.current);
}
}
