Demuxer emitted each AnnexB NAL as its own WebRTC frame (SPS/PPS/SEI
separate from slices) with a near-zero timestamp delta (duration=1 in a
1/90000 timebase → RTP +1/frame instead of +3000 @30fps). Discord's H264
receiver never receives a complete decodable access unit → black GoLive
tile despite frames flowing.
- Group NALs into access units: buffer param-set/SEI NALs, flush one
frame per slice with preceding parameter sets (AnnexB start codes kept
so the H264RtpPacketizer finds NAL boundaries).
- Timestamp each frame at the video frame rate: duration=1, timeBase
1/fps → BaseMediaStream frametime=1000/fps ms → RTP +clockRate/fps
(3000 @ 30fps/90kHz) and correct pacing.
- Thread explicit frameRate from playStream options (raw H264 has no
timing info; ffmpeg guesses 25fps on stderr).
- Strengthen golive-demux-live-e2e: validates every frame has a slice,
no bare param-set frames, keyframes carry SPS/PPS, timeBase 1/30.
Root cause of 'tile appears but content empty': demux() spooled the live
NUT/H264 input to a temp file and awaited stream 'finish' — but the merge
ffmpeg output never ends during playback, so demux deadlocked, no probe,
no transcode, 0 frames sent.
- Demuxer: pipe input straight into ffmpeg stdin (-i pipe:0), parse NAL
frames live from stdout; parse video metadata from ffmpeg stderr with a
1.5s race (fall back to H264 defaults). No spool, no await-end.
- screenShareController: pass width/height/frameRate (1280x720@30) to
playStream — matches the prepareStream encode settings, so setVideoAttributes
gets real dimensions even when ffmpeg can't report metadata on an open pipe.
- Add tests/golive-demux-live-e2e.ts: proves frames flow while input is
still open (regression test for the deadlock).
