adding rtcp processing example

[themusicman]

Wanted to contribute an example like the one in the Pion project here: https://github.com/pion/webrtc/tree/master/examples/rtcp-processing

[mickel8]

Hi @themusicman, thanks for the contribution!

A couple of notes:

• current example is almost the same as the echo example so we add a lot of code that we need to maintain and update as API changes
• handling RTCP in ex_webrtc is a little easier as we get those packets automatically. I can see why Pion has a separate example for this as they need to call ReadRTCP in a loop (link)

I would favor adding a clause for RTCP in our echo example that just ignores those packets. We can add a short comment too. Something like this:

  defp handle_webrtc_msg({:rtcp, _packets}, state) do
    # do something with RTCP packets
    {:ok, state}
  end

This way:

• we show how to receive RTCP packets
• we don't add too much extra code that needs to be maintained
• we don't send messages to the FE or log them in the console so the output is clean

@mickel8 Fair points.

I updated the PR.

Is there anything that you want help with in regards to the project? Maybe RTCP Sender and Receiver Reports?

Thanks for the PR @themusicman! i have deleted the comment as we are going to talk about RTCP in our guides section (in hex docs) at some point.

That's something @LVala is already working on!
When it comes to the roadmap itself, I am working on ICE features (mDNS and TURN servers support) .

Other things I have in my mind but are not planned for 0.2 (i.e. neither @LVala nor me are going to work on them)

• support for AV1 codec, see AV1 payloader #35
• datachannels
• ex_webrtc_dashboard - more metrics, performance optimizations
• jitter buffer

and many more, I will update the list later this evening 😉

@mickel8 I was thinking about suggesting datachannels too. I will look into that some and come up with a plan for implementation and present it to you. What do you think about that?

@themusicman Sounds great!

@themusicman I've created a new section in our Roadmap where I put things that can be addressed: #28
