A simple video call for Kivy use aiortc.

• Note:

  • Use python 3.7 or above.
  • Currently, mobile is not supported.
  • Camera use OpenCV, not use kivy camera provider.
  • Have some problems when handling audio.

TODO:

• Add new app icon in kivyrtc/data (replace existing file) and remove this todo.
• Generate a new GUID for Inno setup when create new project and remove this todo.
• When change version, remember change in files: main.py and buildtools/create-installer.iss
• When you release app please change IS_RELEASE in utils/platform.py to True and remember change back to False when done it.

• Create env:

# On Mac, Linux
pip3 install --upgrade virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv .env
source ./.env/bin/activate

# On Windows
py -3 -m pip install --upgrade virtualenv
py -3 -m virtualenv .env
.\.env\Scripts\activate

• Install lib:

  • On OS X run:

  brew install ffmpeg opus libvpx pkg-config

  • On Windows:

    • Download Microsoft C++ Build tools to build PyAV, aiortc and opus.
    • You can copy include, lib folders in win-lib to .env, to avoid following the steps below.
    • Dowload libvpx and ffmpeg(shared and dev) or build it yourself.
    • Extrack it and copy all content in folder include to .env\Include and lib to .env\libs.
    • Copy path/to/lib/bin to os.environ["PATH"] in main.py.
    • For opus you have to build it yourself because I can't find any builds. Download source opus and extrack it in %USERPROFILE%.
    • Open opus-1.3.1\win32\VS2015\opus.vcxproj, find and add SDK version to:

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='ReleaseDLL|x64'" Label="Configuration">
    <ConfigurationType>DynamicLibrary</ConfigurationType>
    <PlatformToolset>v140</PlatformToolset>
    <WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>Your Windows SDK version</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>
    </PropertyGroup>

    • Build it by Command Prompt for VS: msbuild "opus-1.3.1\win32\opus.vcxproj" /property:Configuration=ReleaseDLL;Platform=x64 /m /v:minimal
    • Copy x64\ReleaseDLL\opus.lib to .env\libs, opus-1.3.1\Include to .env\Include and add path/to/x64/ReleaseDLL/opus.dll to os.environ["PATH"].

• Install requirements and run:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

Make sure you follow all steps in Environment preparing and check all TODO

• For Windows/MacOS, you must activate env and run pyinstaller:
  • Output folder will save in dist folder.
  • You must close app and the opened file or folder in dist folder before packaging app. If you not, pyinstaller can't build project.

# On Mac, Linux
source ./.env/bin/activate
# On Windows
.\.env\Scripts\activate
pyinstaller ./desktop.spec

• To create installer:
  • Windows: download Inno Setup and run .\buildtools\create-installer.iss. Output file will save in .\buildtools\Output folder.
  • Mac: run cmd pkgbuild --install-location /Applications --component 'dist/Kivy RTC.app' 'dist/Install Kivy RTC v0.1.0.pkg'
