feat(rtc)!: move the WebRTC transport from aiortc to the Rust Video SDK

[dangusev]

Summary

getstream.video.rtc no longer implements the WebRTC transport with aiortc. The
Rust Video SDK (stream-video-rust)
now does the coordinator join, the SFU selection, the SFU signaling, the peer
connections, the retries and the reconnects. The new package getstream-rtc
(import name getstream_rtc) wraps the SDK with PyO3.

rtc.join() and ConnectionManager stay the public API. ConnectionManager is
now a thin layer: it starts the SDK join, emits the SDK events under the
existing event names, and copies the frames of aiortc tracks into the SDK.

This is a breaking change. migration.md lists every change compared with
6.1.1. This description gives the changes in behavior.

Loading

• ConnectionManager makes a getstream_rtc.Client from the API key and the
  secret (or the token) of the AsyncStream client.
• The SDK runs on its own tokio runtime. Its async methods are awaitable from
  asyncio. Its synchronous methods release the GIL.
• ConnectionManager opens the event streams and the track stream before the
  join, so the events and the tracks of the join are kept.
• Rust log records go through a bounded queue. Only the forwarding thread takes
  the GIL. A log call never blocks. The first connect() starts the
  forwarding thread; an import starts no thread.

Changes in behavior

Join, state and leave

• The SDK retries the join and chooses the SFU. The max_join_retries
  argument is removed. rtc.join() accepts only create and
  subscription_config; other keyword arguments raise TypeError.
• connection_state returns CallingState (IDLE, JOINING, JOINED,
  RECONNECTING, MIGRATING, RECONNECTING_FAILED, LEFT) and is read only.
  CallingState is not an Enum: its members have no name or value and
  cannot be hashed or iterated. Compare with the members.
  connection.state_changed keeps its name and its {"old", "new"} payload.
  After a failed connect(), no connection.state_changed arrives.
• The SDK reconnects by itself. connection_lost, reconnection_success and
  reconnection_failed are not emitted; watch connection.state_changed.
• After an SFU error with the DISCONNECT strategy, the SDK leaves the call:
  the state becomes LEFT, call_ended arrives with reason 0, and wait()
  returns. The SDK also leaves when ICE never connects, at its rejoin rate
  limit, and after too many failed negotiations. Other reconnection failures
  give RECONNECTING_FAILED; then wait() does not return, call leave().
• If the coordinator WebSocket cannot connect, connect() raises (for example
  CoordinatorError). In 6.1.1 the join continued. After the join, a closed
  coordinator WebSocket or a failed coordinator health check makes the SDK
  rejoin the call with a new session.
• participant_joined is also emitted for the participants that are already in
  the call at join.
• call_ended is also emitted when the coordinator ends the call, and only once.
  wait() also returns when the call ends.
• If connect() fails or is cancelled after the SDK join, it leaves the call
  before it raises.
• A second connect() on the same ConnectionManager is not supported: no
  events and no tracks arrive. Use a new rtc.join() for each join.
• Join errors are getstream_rtc errors (subclasses of RustError:
  ApiError, CoordinatorError, PermissionDeniedError, RtcError, ...),
  not SfuJoinError. rtc.join() raises ConfigError for an invalid client
  configuration.

Events

• Event payloads are getstream_rtc classes, not SFU protobuf messages. All
  are exported from getstream.video.rtc. track_type uses the TrackType
  enum (not an Enum, as CallingState), participant.joined_at is a Unix
  time float, participant.custom is a dict. The protobuf field type of
  TrackPublished and TrackUnpublished is track_type.
• RemoteParticipant compares by identity, and each read of a participant
  attribute gives a new object. Compare session_id.
• New event: participant_count_changed.
• The SFU transport events (subscriber_offer, publisher_answer,
  ice_trickle, join_response, health_check_response, go_away,
  participant_migration_complete) are not emitted. The SDK handles them.
• ice_restart arrives after the SDK has handled the SFU request.
• A handler that raises does not stop the other events, wait() or leave().
  pyee passes the exception to the error event. Without an error handler,
  the exception is logged at ERROR; with one, that handler gets it.
  emit(..., unsafe=True) does not raise it either.
• If the event loop is blocked and an SDK event stream overflows (1024 events),
  the lost events are skipped with a stream.rtc.events.lagged WARNING and
  participants_state is filled again from the SDK.

Remote media

• track_added gives a RemoteTrack. add_track_subscriber() is removed.
  track.next_pcm() gives 48 kHz mono int16 frames;
  track.video_frames() gives a stream of I420 VideoFrames. Each
  video_frames() call gives an independent stream; a slow reader skips to
  the latest frame.
• track_added also arrives for the tracks that exist before the join.
  republish_tracks() is removed.
• ConnectionManager keeps a reference only to the remote audio tracks: it
  reads each of them to emit audio. Do not also call next_pcm() on these
  tracks. The audio payload is the same PcmData as in 6.1.1; participant
  is a RemoteParticipant.
• When the application drops the last reference to a video track, the SDK
  unsubscribes from the track.
• After a remote mute and unmute, the same track object delivers frames again.
  No new track_added arrives.
• drain_video_frames is removed: the SDK decodes a remote track only while it
  is read.
• If the event loop is blocked and more than 64 new remote tracks wait to be
  read, the SDK unsubscribes from the tracks that do not fit. Then no
  track_added and no audio arrive for new tracks until the end of the
  call, and leave() raises RtcError.

Publishing

• add_tracks() still accepts aiortc tracks. Before connect(), it raises
  IllegalStateError.
• A new add_tracks(audio=...) or add_tracks(video=...) replaces the
  published track of the same kind. In 6.1.1 each call added one more track.
• When the source track stops, the track is unpublished and other participants
  get track_unpublished. In 6.1.1 only the packets stopped.
• Audio: the SDK paces the frames and sends mono (stereo is mixed down).
  AudioStreamTrack has a new setting pace, False by default. Code that
  sends an AudioStreamTrack through its own aiortc connection must set
  pace=True to keep the 6.1.1 behavior. flush() also clears the audio that
  is queued in the SDK and the audio of a write that is in progress.
• Audio frames must be packed s16, as AudioStreamTrack gives them. Frames
  in other formats are not converted: fltp frames stop the forwarding and
  unpublish the track, s16p frames are sent garbled. The SDK takes the
  sample rate of the first frame; a later frame at another rate raises
  PcmRateMismatchError and unpublishes the track. The failure of a forwarder
  is logged at ERROR with its traceback.
• Video: sent as VP9, not H.264. The whole track has the size of its first
  frame; later frames are scaled to it. STREAM_PATCH_AIORTC_BITRATES and
  STREAM_PATCH_AIORTC_H264_PRESET have no effect.

Resampling

FrameResampler, and so AudioStreamTrack.write(), resamples with the SDK
windowed-sinc filter (getstream_rtc.StreamResampler), not with PyAV. The
filter removes much more of the images and aliases (from 16 kHz to 48 kHz, the
image of a 7 kHz tone is at −103 dB, with PyAV at −38 dB). Differences:

• Audio at another rate than the output rate is delayed by 128 input frames
  (8 ms at 16 kHz) of silence, at the start and after each flush().
• flush() and write(pcm, final=True) add about 132 input frames of
  near-silence after the held audio.
• Mono input to stereo output is copied at full level (PyAV: −3 dB). The
  channel count changes only from or to mono. The only output format is s16.
• PyAVResampler is removed.

participants_state

• It contains RemoteParticipant objects keyed by session_id, and includes
  the agent itself.
• track_published does not change it: published_tracks keeps the value from
  the join or from participant_joined. In 6.1.1 it replaced the participant
  and called the map() handlers.
• get_user_from_track_id(), get_stream_id_from_track_id() and
  set_track_stream_mapping() are removed. A RemoteTrack carries its
  participant.

Subscriptions

subscription_config works as in 6.1.1. The SDK applies it again on each
participant and track event. Difference: when no track matches any more, an
empty subscription list is sent to the SFU. The first list after a join or a
reconnect is never empty.

Logging

The transport logs come from the getstream logger and its children (for
example getstream.rtc.join.lifecycle), not from aiortc and aioice. Records
of other Rust crates are forwarded at WARNING and above. connect() reads the
effective level of the getstream logger.

rtc.join() starts the SDK runtime threads, and the first connect() starts
the log forwarding thread. A process forked after that cannot use the SDK:
connect() never returns. Start the worker processes before the first
rtc.join(), or use the spawn or forkserver start method.

Telemetry

Only the OpenTelemetry spans connect, leave and rtc.add_tracks stay. The
spans of the aiortc transport steps are removed.

Removed

• Local recording (start_recording(), stop_recording(),
  RecordingManager and the recording events). Use the server recording
  (call.start_recording()).
• The aiortc transport: the coordinator WebSocket client, the SFU signaling,
  the peer connections, the location discovery, the stats reporter, the
  reconnection logic and the aiortc encoder patches. The removed modules and
  names are listed in migration.md.
• The ConnectionManager attributes of the aiortc transport (publisher_pc,
  subscriber_pc, ws_client, join_response, session_id, ...).

Regressions compared with 6.1.1

• Remote H.264 video is not decoded: the SDK decodes only VP8 and VP9. A
  participant that publishes only H.264 (for example RTMP or SRT ingress) gives
  no video track.
• TURN works only over UDP. Networks that allow only TCP or TLS cannot connect.
• When the Stream client has only a user token, the SDK cannot refresh it. If
  the token has an expiration and expires during the call, each later rejoin
  or migration fails. With the API secret, the SDK creates a new token for each
  join, rejoin and migration.

Installation

• The webrtc extra installs getstream-rtc. getstream stays pure Python.
• getstream-rtc has its own version and its own release-please component.
• A build from source needs the Rust toolchain from
  getstream-rtc/rust-toolchain.toml, a C compiler, cmake, pkg-config,
  libvpx and libclang.
• The webrtc extra no longer installs scipy, soundfile, websockets,
  websocket-client, structlog, tenacity and ping3.

Open items before release

• No workflow builds or publishes getstream-rtc wheels. release.yml builds
  only getstream. Until getstream-rtc is on PyPI, the install of a released
  getstream[webrtc] fails.
• The publish job of release.yml compiles getstream-rtc, which uv build
  does not use. A failure of the Rust build stops the PyPI release of
  getstream.
• getstream-rtc/Cargo.toml uses the branch fix/compatibility-fixes of
  stream-video-rust (Cargo.lock pins c865308), not a tag.
• The section "Other bugs" of migration.md lists the other open findings of
  the code review.

Tests and CI

• The binding tests (getstream-rtc/tests/) and the ConnectionManager tests
  (tests/rtc/) join real calls.
• New CI job: cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -D warnings, cargo test --lib.
• The lint, type check and non-video jobs do not build the extension.
• examples/rtc/echo_agent.py and examples/rtc/record_audio.py use only the
  public getstream.video.rtc API.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a Rust-backed RTC client for managing calls, accessing participants and events, publishing media, receiving remote tracks, and resampling audio.
  • Added audio-recording and echo-agent examples, plus forwarding for existing audio and video tracks.
  • Audio tracks now play without pacing by default and support flush notifications.
• Breaking Changes
  • Joining a call now requires a user ID and supports subscription configuration. Location discovery and legacy RTC interfaces, including recording controls, are no longer available.
• Documentation
  • Added a migration guide for the updated RTC integration.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the _coordinator_task wait.

ConnectionManager does not define _coordinator_task. The coordinator task starts before call.join() and remains active until the call ends, so this wait raises AttributeError and cannot provide readiness. The event streams are created before joining; send the event once and wait for its delivery.

🐛 Suggested fix

-        # join() returns before the coordinator watches the call, and an event sent earlier never arrives.
-        await asyncio.wait_for(connection._coordinator_task, timeout=10.0)
-
+        # The coordinator event stream starts before the call is joined.
         await call.send_call_event(
             user_id=sender,

Move the "Other bugs" section out of the user-facing migration guide.

This section is an internal review backlog. It is not migration guidance. It cites exact source line numbers, which become wrong after the next edit. It also includes items that do not concern users, for example AGENTS.md style, test type annotations, unused test assets and CI timeouts. Users who read the guide after the release get a list of unresolved internal problems that has no owner and no tracking.

Do these steps before the release:

• Open one tracker issue for each open item.
• Delete Lines 421-606.
• Keep in the guide only the user-visible limitations that the earlier sections do not already cover.

Build and publish getstream-rtc when its release is created.

This configuration adds an independent release, but the supplied .github/workflows/release.yml job runs only uv build and uv publish from the root. Plain uv build builds the current project, not every workspace member. A getstream-rtc release therefore has no matching published distribution, while the webrtc extra requires it. Add a package-specific wheel build and publication path for the supported platforms. (docs.astral.sh)

Update the release workflow’s build and publish path for the getstream-rtc
component so its release produces and publishes the package-specific wheel on
supported platforms; the existing root-level uv build and uv publish only handle
the current project.

getstream/video/rtc/connection_manager.py:240-241
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Continue track consumption after a reported queue overflow.

If more than 64 remote tracks wait in TrackQueue, its iterator raises RtcError and clears the overflow flag. This async for then exits permanently. The manager stops emitting track_added and audio for subsequent tracks, and leave() receives the failed task’s exception. Handle this recoverable overflow in the consumer and continue reading the surviving tracks.

Run media cleanup even when leave fails.

If call.leave() raises, or an event consumer raises during gather(), execution skips cancellation of _audio_tasks and _publish_tasks. Those tasks can keep reading or forwarding media after leave() fails. Move their cancellation and awaiting into a finally block, while preserving the original failure.

About the outside-diff comment on tests/rtc/coordinator/test_custom_events.py:60 in this review: fixed in 8447041. The wait on _coordinator_task is removed. The SDK connects the coordinator WebSocket before the coordinator join request, so the coordinator watches the call when join() returns.

🟠 Major · Add token renewal for user-token RTC clients. · connection_manager.py:101-116

getstream/video/rtc/connection_manager.py:101-116
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add token renewal for user-token RTC clients.

When stream.has_api_secret is false, this boundary passes stream.token once to getstream_rtc.Client. The Rust user-token client reuses that token for later joins. If the token expires during a call, a later rejoin or migration fails instead of renewing the token.

Extend the getstream_rtc.Client user-token path to obtain a fresh token before rejoin or migration. Keep the API-secret path unchanged because it already mints a token for each join, rejoin, and migration.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Restore H.264 support before relying on the SDK receive path.

When a reachable call has an H.264-only remote publisher, the SDK join and track path cannot provide decoded video frames. The migration documents that the SDK supports only VP8 and VP9, while the previous aiortc transport decoded H.264. Restore H.264 decoding or add an equivalent fallback before using this path.

🟠 Major · Preserve TURN TCP/TLS connectivity in the Rust RTC client. · call.rs:31-65

getstream-rtc/rustsrc/call.rs:31-65
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve TURN TCP/TLS connectivity in the Rust RTC client.

Client::new passes only the default ClientConfig to the Rust SDK, and Call.join() directly awaits the SDK join. The migration guide states that this path supports TURN only over UDP. A network that blocks direct UDP and permits only TURN over TCP or TLS therefore cannot establish the call. Update the SDK integration to use a release and configuration that support TURN over TCP/TLS, and expose that configuration at this client boundary.
