WebRTC - Set usage limit

[sergiobellini]

Question

Hi everyone, I have a MediaMTX server with only the WebRTC service active, connected to a website with iframe (and SSL certificates).
To avoid overloading the server where MediaMTX runs, is it possible to set a timeout? That is, after 5 minutes of viewing, the video automatically ends?

Hello, this logic can be easily implemented by writing a script that:

1. connects to MediaMTX API and downloads list of WebRTC readers through /v3/webrtcsessions/list
2. filters WebRTC readers with state = read and created < (now - 5 minutes)
3. kicks these readers through /v3/webrtcsessions/kick

I really hadn't thought about APIs, thank you very much!
