How to get notified when there are no consumers using OME?

[dvir-highlander]

I’m using OvenMediaEngine (OME) for streaming, and I need to find a way to be notified when there are no active consumers for a specific stream. I noticed the statistics API, but it seems to require periodic calls for each stream.

Is there a built-in trigger or event in OME that can notify my server when the first consumer connects to the stream, and when the stream is no longer being watched, so I can close it?

Can I use AdmissionWebhooks to achieve my needs?

Thanks in advance!

AdmissionWebhooks can be configured to be triggered when a player disconnects. It won't have how many people are still watching but you could make a subsequent statistics call to see how many people are still viewing. If you make this call before responding back to the AdmissionWebhook, the disconnecting party may still be counted there

AdmissionWebhooks are only called when the client sends a disconnect, so in the case of a sudden or "unclean" disconnect this may not be a reliable approach. Best bet is to poll the server stats API periodically, to be sure.

Yeah I thought there might be a different approach avoiding the need to periodically pull the stats.
So I assume there is no reliable source that can notify when someone try to consume / disconnect ?
Maybe create a combination of the 2 when I get notify there is a new connection I will pull stats avoiding the need of interval.
Thanks for the fast reply.
