MixedReality-WebRTC VS FFMpegCore

Mixed Reality Toolkit-WebRTC (MRTK-WebRTC) from Microsoft: Although it has been marked as deprecated, MRTK-WebRTC still continues to receive positive feedback from users for its functionality. It is designed to support real-time communication in mixed-reality applications and provides audio and video streaming capabilities. Despite its deprecated status—which warrants caution concerning future maintenance and updates—MRTK-WebRTC could still be a suitable choice for projects where its features meet the developers' needs and where the absence of ongoing official support is not an issue.

I new on this tech, and try to learn on it. I practice by using demo tutorial but got the error from VideoChatDemo tutorial ( com.microsoft.mixedreality.webrtc.samples ). this github release

The latest resource I downloaded from Releases · microsoft/MixedReality-WebRTC · GitHub :

Hello, I'm Ben Greenier. You might know me from my WebRTC work at Microsoft, where I helped create and improve things like Mixer, browserd, early versions of winrtc, and MixedReality-WebRTC. I also had a chance to work on closed-source software directly with external engineering teams to solve all kinds of problems, though I primarily focused on those in the real-time media space. I chose to leave Microsoft in June 2021 to decompress after a challenging stint working on Microsoft Teams. I wanted to build some tech to help make creating games more approachable, and take some time to figure out what I wanted to do next. I also had the extreme privilege to be able to actually do that, so I did.

Right now, I think the only viable option is to try with the WebRTC sample from Microsoft at this link:https://github.com/microsoft/MixedReality-WebRTC but I am really lost on how I can build and deploy the app.

You may want to look at the Microsoft.MixedReality.WebRTC library which includes a C++/C#(Core and Unity) implementations as well as links to tutorials.

For getting info about the files, Im cribbing from a dll called FFMpegCore- https://github.com/rosenbjerg/FFMpegCore , its a wrapper around FFmpeg (so you need put a copy of ffmpeg & ffprobe) in your output folder so that works correctly

Working with multimedia is terra incognita for most of the developers since it's something that one rarely encounters while working with usual business applications. So when I was tasked to convert video for the project I'm currently working on I was expecting to deal with some sort of old poorly maintained C++ library. So FFmpegCore was a pleasant surprise since it enables working with .Net Core which is an area of my expertise.
