ffmpeg -i $INPUT_FILE -g 30 output.ivf

Download play-from-disk

go get github.com/pion/webrtc/v2/examples/play-from-disk

Open play-from-disk example page

jsfiddle.net you should see two text-areas and a 'Start Session' button

Run play-from-disk with your browsers SessionDescription as stdin

The output.ivf you created should be in the same directory as play-from-disk. In the jsfiddle the top textarea is your browser, copy that and:

Linux/macOS

Run echo $BROWSER_SDP | play-from-disk

Windows

1. Paste the SessionDescription into a file.
2. Run play-from-disk < my_file

Input play-from-disk's SessionDescription into your browser

Copy the text that play-from-disk just emitted and copy into second text area

Hit 'Start Session' in jsfiddle, enjoy your video!

A video should start playing in your browser above the input boxes. play-from-disk will exit when the file reaches the end
