Re: [rtcweb] m=section recycling and a=mid

[Christer Holmberg <[e-mail]>]

Hi Suhas,



The mid attribute itself does not add an m- line to a BUNDLE group. The attribute value also needs to be listed in the group:BUNDLE attribute mid list.



So, if you want to re-use an m- line and mid attribute, but you don't want the m- line to be in the BUNDLE group, simply remove the mid from the mid list.



Regards,



Christer

Subject: [rtcweb] m=section recycling and a=mid

After thinking about it a bit, I think there are some side effects associated with changing/not changing mid attribute of a re-cycled m= section and it being part of a BUNDLE group or not..

example

say , we have these video m=section part of BUNDLE group as below
a=group:BUNDLE 1, 2

m=video .....
a=mid:1
a=inactive

m=video .....
a=mid:2
a=sendrecv

Now If JS user adds a new video track and he wants it to be out of BUNDLE. If we recycle first video m=section and dont change mid attribute,  we end up BUNDLing even if the user dint want to

On the other hand, if we allowed mid value to be changed, we might end up UNBundling a video stream , when the user did want to BUNDLE them

So allowing a mid value to be changed or not should be tied to what the JS API is asking on behalf of the user


Any thoughts ?

Cheers
Suhas
