MediaProxyAgent

A simple, efficient agent designed to extend Oldcord's WebRTC voice capabilities across multiple geographic regions.
The Media Proxy Agent acts as a server for Oldcord to connect to, enabling you to deploy media servers dedicated solely to voice traffic in different locations (e.g., US-East, EU-Central). This improves latency and quality for users worldwide.

Features

• Regional Voice Deployment: Easily scale your instance's voice capabilities.
• Automatic IP Discovery: Reports the server's public address (IP/Port) to the Signaling Server for seamless WebRTC connection handling (NAT Traversal).
• Efficient Event Forwarding: Batches and relays real-time events (like speaking_events) from the media server back to the Signaling Server.

Setup

Before using, please make sure your Oldcord instance has mr_server -> enabled (set to true) in the configuration.

1. Prerequisites
   You need Node.js and npm installed on your target voice server.

2. Installation
   Clone this repository and install dependencies:

  git clone https://github.com/oldcordapp/MediaProxyAgent
  cd MediaProxyAgent
  npm install

3. Run the agent
   Start the agent on your target server, passing the port and the public IP exposure flag.

   Argument	Summary	Example
   [PORT]	Set the port for the server to listen on	4444
   [PUBLIC_IP_FLAG]	Set to true to use the server's public IP address (Recommended for production) or false to use a local IP address	true

   Example usage: node server.js 4444 true

4. Profit
   Oldcord will connect to the server, exchange connection information for future clients, wait for instructions from the Signaling Server to manage voice rooms and manage the actual webrtc voice traffic by itself.
   Now go join some voice calls (Provided you're using 2017 or 2018 client builds and Chromium) and have fun!
