# @openipc-rs/web
WebAssembly and WebUSB bindings for the `openipc-rs` receiver stack.
This package is the browser SDK layer. It exposes the Rust OpenIPC transport
pipeline to JavaScript:
- Realtek USB RX transfer parsing
- WFB session/decryption/FEC handling
- RTP depacketization
- H.264/H.265 Annex-B frame output for WebCodecs
- Adaptive-link feedback helpers
- WebUSB Realtek device access
It does not include a UI or video renderer. Applications are expected to feed
the encoded frames into WebCodecs, MSE, a worker pipeline, or another renderer.
## Install
```sh
npm install @openipc-rs/web
```
## Basic Shape
```ts
import init, {
OpenIpcReceiver,
WebUsbRealtekDevice,
supportedUsbFilters,
} from "@openipc-rs/web";
await init();
const filters = JSON.parse(supportedUsbFilters());
const usbDevice = await navigator.usb.requestDevice({ filters });
const radio = await WebUsbRealtekDevice.fromWebUsbDevice(usbDevice);
const receiver = OpenIpcReceiver.withKeypair(channelId, keypairBytes, minimumEpoch);
await radio.initializeMonitor(channel, channelWidthMhz, channelOffset);
while (running) {
const transfer = await radio.readRxTransfer(32768);
const batch = receiver.pushRxTransferProfiled(transfer);
for (const frame of batch.frames) {
// frame.data is encoded H.264/H.265 Annex-B data.
// Feed it into WebCodecs as an EncodedVideoChunk.
}
}
```
## WebCodecs Rendering
The Rust/WASM side outputs compressed H.264/H.265 frames. Your app should pass
those frames to WebCodecs and render the decoded `VideoFrame` objects.
```html
<canvas id="video"></canvas>
```
```ts
import init, {
OpenIpcReceiver,
WebUsbRealtekDevice,
supportedUsbFilters,
type OpenIpcVideoFrame,
} from "@openipc-rs/web";
const canvas = document.querySelector<HTMLCanvasElement>("#video")!;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d", { alpha: false })!;
let waitingForKeyframe = true;
let baseRtpTimestamp: number | undefined;
let baseTimestampUs = 0;
function timestampUs(rtpTimestamp: number): number {
if (baseRtpTimestamp === undefined) {
baseRtpTimestamp = rtpTimestamp >>> 0;
baseTimestampUs = Math.round(performance.now() * 1000);
}
const delta = (rtpTimestamp >>> 0) - baseRtpTimestamp;
return baseTimestampUs + Math.round((delta * 1_000_000) / 90_000);
}
function renderFrame(frame: VideoFrame) {
try {
const width = frame.displayWidth || frame.codedWidth;
const height = frame.displayHeight || frame.codedHeight;
if (canvas.width !== width || canvas.height !== height) {
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
}
ctx.drawImage(frame, 0, 0, width, height);
} finally {
frame.close();
}
}
async function ensureDecoder(frame: OpenIpcVideoFrame): Promise<boolean> {
const codec = frame.codecString;
const key = `${frame.codec}:${codec}`;
if (decoder && decoderKey === key) {
return true;
}
const config: VideoDecoderConfig =
frame.codec === "h264"
? { codec, avc: { format: "annexb" }, hardwareAcceleration: "prefer-hardware", optimizeForLatency: true }
: { codec, hevc: { format: "annexb" }, hardwareAcceleration: "prefer-hardware", optimizeForLatency: true };
const support = await VideoDecoder.isConfigSupported(config);
if (!support.supported) {
return false;
}
decoder?.close();
decoder = new VideoDecoder({
output: renderFrame,
error: (error) => {
console.warn("VideoDecoder error", error);
waitingForKeyframe = true;
},
});
decoder.configure(support.config ?? config);
decoderKey = key;
waitingForKeyframe = true;
return true;
}
async function decodeOpenIpcFrame(frame: OpenIpcVideoFrame) {
if (!(await ensureDecoder(frame))) {
return;
}
if (waitingForKeyframe && !frame.isKeyFrame) {
return;
}
waitingForKeyframe = false;
decoder!.decode(
new EncodedVideoChunk({
type: frame.isKeyFrame ? "key" : "delta",
timestamp: timestampUs(frame.timestamp),
data: frame.data,
}),
);
}
await init();
const filters = JSON.parse(supportedUsbFilters());
const usbDevice = await navigator.usb.requestDevice({ filters });
const radio = await WebUsbRealtekDevice.fromWebUsbDevice(usbDevice);
const receiver = OpenIpcReceiver.withKeypair(channelId, keypairBytes, minimumEpoch);
await radio.initializeMonitor(channel, channelWidthMhz, channelOffset);
while (running) {
const transfer = await radio.readRxTransfer(32768);
const batch = receiver.pushRxTransferProfiled(transfer);
for (const frame of batch.frames) {
await decodeOpenIpcFrame(frame);
}
}
```
## Browser Requirements
- HTTPS or localhost secure context
- WebUSB support
- WebCodecs support for playback in typical browser apps
- A supported Realtek 802.11ac USB adapter
