Need current number of client in on_play/on_stop webhook body.

[nguyencobap]

I think it's neccessary for having current number of client in on_play/on_stop webhook body. I have service that start run ffmpeg to publish stream when have client start play. If there is another plays then I do not start ffmpeg anymore. When the last client stop and I stop ffmpeg publishing. So to know the first client start stream and last client stop stream I need to know current number of client.

Thank you!

maybe you can check if the ffmpeg proccess is already started, and if is already estarted not start a new one? regards.

Your solution is ok with playing flow but stopping flow is not working. How can I know the last client stops stream so I can kill ffmpeg process without know number of client?

using this?: http://ip:1985/api/v1/clients/?count=100 or this: http://ip:1985/api/v1/streams/?count=100 maybe?

Implemented in v7.0.107

This feature has been implemented. The clients field is now available in:

1. Webhooks (on_play/on_stop): Shows the current number of clients for the stream

   {
     "action": "on_play",
     "clients": 3,
     ...
   }
   

2. HTTP API (/api/v1/streams): Added total field for total stream count

   {
     "total": 10,
     "streams": [...]
   }
   

3. HTTP API (/api/v1/clients): Added total field for total client count

   {
     "total": 25,
     "clients": [...]
   }
   

This allows you to detect the first client (when clients becomes 1) to start FFmpeg, and the last client (when clients becomes 1) to stop FFmpeg.
