🔧 CRITICAL FIXES IMPLEMENTED
✅ 1. VP8 Codec Alignment with Discord
Problem: Discord uses VP8 payload type 120, but implementation used 107 Solution: Updated payload types to match Discord exactly
// discord.js-selfbot-v13/src/util/Util.js
VP8: payload_type: 120, rtx_payload_type: 124 // ✅ Discord standard
Opus: payload_type: 109 // ✅ No conflict
✅ 2. Docker UDP Port Infrastructure
Problem: VP8 port not initialized, packets couldn't reach FFmpeg Solution: Complete Docker UDP port allocation system
// Container internal ports:
VP8 Video: UDP 65509 ✅ Properly routed
H.264 Fall: UDP 65508 ✅ Backup codec
Opus Audio: UDP 65512 ✅ Clean separation
✅ 3. SDP Generation for Container
Problem: Incorrect codec mapping for Docker environment Solution: Container-aware SDP with correct payload types
m=video 65509 RTP/AVP 120 ← VP8 on container localhost
a=rtpmap:120 VP8/90000 ← Discord-compatible mapping
m=audio 65512 RTP/AVP 109 ← Opus without conflicts
a=rtpmap:109 opus/48000/2 ← Proper audio codec
✅ 4. Real-time VP8 Stream Monitoring
Problem: No visibility into VP8 packet flow Solution: Comprehensive monitoring and auto-recovery
// Added features:
- VP8 packet counting per user
- Stream health monitoring
- Automatic failure detection
- Enhanced SSRC mapping logs
- Connection timeout handling
✅ 5. Docker Volume Integration
Problem: Recordings not accessible from host Solution: Seamless container-to-host file access
# docker-compose.yml
volumes:
- ./output:/tmp/output # Live recording access
tmpfs:
- /tmp:size=512M # Performance optimization

🚀 DEPLOYMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Environment Setup
# Set Discord token
export USER_TOKEN="your_discord_token_here"
# Optional: Additional bot credentials
export BOT_CLIENT_ID="your_bot_client_id"
export BOT_CLIENT_SECRET="your_bot_client_secret"
2. Start Docker Container
# Build and start container
docker-compose up --build
# Or run in background
docker-compose up -d --build
# Monitor startup
docker-compose logs -f teto_ai_dev
3. Verify VP8 Implementation
# Test VP8 functionality
./docker_test.sh
# Or manual test
docker-compose exec teto_ai_dev node test_vp8.js
4. Discord Commands
> test vp8 # Verify VP8 implementation
> record webcam # Start VP8 webcam recording
> stop webcam # Stop recording
> webcam status # Check recording status
🎬 EXPECTED RECORDING BEHAVIOR
Successful Recording Flow:
- Voice Connection: Bot joins voice channel ✅
- SSRC Detection: Maps user camera to SSRC (e.g., 486278) ✅
- VP8 Recognition: Detects VP8 payload type 120 packets ✅
- Stream Processing: Routes to FFmpeg via UDP 65509 ✅
- Video Encoding: Processes 1920x1080 VP8 to MKV ✅
- File Output: Saves to
./output/webcam-timestamp.mkv✅ - Auto-Stop: Detects when camera turns off ✅
Success Indicators in Logs:
[Docker] VP8 video streams detected for user 339753362297847810
[Docker] VP8 packets received: 100 for user 339753362297847810
[Docker] VP8 key frame - SSRC: 486278
[Docker] Webcam FFmpeg: frame= 30 fps=30 q=0.0 size=1024kB time=00:00:01.00
Expected Output Quality:
- Resolution: 1920x1080 (not 320x5856) ✅
- Bitrate: >1000 kbits/s (not 0.2) ✅
- Format: Clean MKV with VP8 video + Opus audio ✅
- No Errors: Zero H.264 decoding errors ✅
🔍 MONITORING & DEBUGGING
Container Logs:
# Follow all logs
docker-compose logs -f
# VP8-specific logs
docker-compose logs teto_ai_dev | grep VP8
# FFmpeg processing logs
docker-compose logs teto_ai_dev | grep FFmpeg
Host File Access:
# Check recordings on host
ls -la ./output/
# Watch for new files
watch -n 1 'ls -la ./output/'
# Check file details
ffprobe ./output/webcam-*.mkv
VNC Access (Optional):
# Connect to container desktop
vncviewer localhost:5901
# View Discord client directly
⚠️ KNOWN CONSIDERATIONS
1. Voice Connection Timeout
- Issue: Historical blocker unrelated to VP8
- Status: May still occur due to Discord API/networking
- Solution: Retry logic implemented, exponential backoff
2. Container Resources
- CPU: VP8 decoding requires adequate processing power
- Memory: ~200-500MB during active recording
- Storage: 512MB tmpfs should handle most recordings
3. Network Requirements
- UDP: Stable connection for RTP streams
- Discord: API access and voice server connectivity
- Bandwidth: Sufficient for VP8 stream reception
🎯 PRODUCTION CHECKLIST
Before going live, verify:
- ✅ Container starts without errors
- ✅
test vp8command passes in Discord - ✅ Can connect to voice channels
- ✅ VP8 packets are received and logged
- ✅ FFmpeg processes without H.264 errors
- ✅ MKV files appear in
./output/ - ✅ Video quality meets expectations
- ✅ Auto-stop works when camera disabled
📞 SUPPORT & TROUBLESHOOTING
Quick Fixes:
# Restart container
docker-compose restart
# Rebuild with latest changes
docker-compose up --build --force-recreate
# Clean slate restart
docker-compose down -v && docker-compose up --build
# Check container health
./docker_test.sh
Common Issues:
- No recordings: Check volume mounting and permissions
- Connection timeout: Discord API issue, not VP8-related
- Poor quality: Verify VP8 packets are being received
- File access: Ensure
./output/directory exists and is writable
🎉 IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY
