public class Room : IRoom, IDisposable

Main Room

Discussion

The Room class is the entry point of the low-level API of the ODIN SDK. It provides methods to join and leave a room, send and receive messages, and manage media streams. The Room class is also responsible for managing the connection state and the room configuration.

If don’t want to develop everything yourself, it is recommended to use OdinRoom instead which is a higher level API and is easier to use.

The basic flow is to use Room.Create to create a Room object, configure it with event handlers, and then join the room. Once joined, you can attach a media stream to the room and start sending and receiving media (i.e. microphone). You need to listen on the Room.OnMediaStarted event to receive media streams from other peers in the room and to create playback components for them.

See the example below for a basic usage of the Room class.

Public Methods

NameDescription
GetBaseRoomThis will always return itself
Room_OnDatagramDefault impl will push a datagram to all Room of the same mediaId in the current room.
Room_OnRPCDefault impl will process all rpc packets.
ProcessRPCWill process all rpc packets.
JoinJoin a room with token
GetRoomIdRetrieves the room id
GetEncoderGet a encoder from Room by id
GetOrCreateEncoderGet a encoder from Room.
CreateEncoderCreate a new input media that will be added toRoom
RemoveEncoderRemoves the input media from Room
GetDecoderGet a decoder from RemotePeers by id
GetOrCreateDecoderGet a decoder from RemotePeers by id. If the decoder is not found create a new one that will be added to the Peer
CreateDecoderCreate a new output media that will be added to PeerEntity
RemoveDecoderRemoves a output media from a remote peer.
StartMediaSend a "StartMedia" RPC to the server to start the encoder for input.
StopMediaSend a "StopMedia" to the server to stop the encoder.
PauseMediaSend a "PauseMedia" to the server to stop the decoder for output.
ResumeMediaSend a "ResumeMedia" to the server to start a stopped decoder for output.
UpdateUserDataUpdate arbitrary userdata of self (note: Odin)
SetPositionSet the spatial position for server side culling. Other remote peers outside the boundary will appear as not in the room or leaving the room.
SendMessageSend "SendMessage" to the server to broadcast the message with default UTF8 encoding.
SendRpcSend registered RPCs to the server. (set by Room)
SendAudioPush the samples to all Room for pipeline processing and pop the result as datagrams to the server
SendEncoderAudioPop all samples from the input media by id and send them to the server
CloseClose the native room. (native dispose)
DisposeOn dispose will free the room and all associated data
