LiveKit Server SDK: "preset" property not found in "IngressVideoOptions"

Question

I'm working with the LiveKit Server SDK and trying to set the video encoding preset for an Ingress. However, I'm encountering the error:

Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'preset' does not exist in type 'IngressVideoOptions'.

Here's the relevant code snippet:

import {
  IngressVideoEncodingPreset,
  // ... other imports
} from "livekit-server-sdk";

// ...

options.video = {
  source: TrackSource.CAMERA,
  preset: IngressVideoEncodingPreset.H264_1080P_30FPS_3_LAYERS,
};

I've verified that the livekit-server-sdk package is up-to-date and the IngressVideoEncodingPreset import seems correct. I have also tried to update my typescript and upated npm install livekit-server-sdk, still the issue persists. Any suggestions on how to fix this error?

Update: It is working with the old version but the new version has these error: on

`if (ingressType === IngressInput.WHIP_INPUT) {
    options.bypassTranscoding = true;
  } else {
    options.video = {
      source: TrackSource.CAMERA,
      encodingOptions: {
        value: IngressVideoEncodingPreset.H264_1080P_30FPS_3_LAYERS,
        case: "preset",
      },
    }
  }`

error: Type

'{ source: TrackSource; encodingOptions: { value: IngressVideoEncodingPreset.H264_1080P_30FPS_3_LAYERS; case: "preset"; }; }'

is missing the following properties from type 'IngressVideoOptions': name, equals, clone, fromBinary, and 7 more.

I have tried to add name and it does work, but the other properties seem to be non existing in dependency.

Answer 1

I have found an answer to my question.

Here's what worked for me:

I downgraded my dependencies for "livekit-client": "^1.15.4", & "livekit-server-sdk": "^1.2.7",. Additionally, I imported livekit-server-sdk/dist after the downgrade.

This approach has effectively resolved the error. I will now attempt to update to the latest versions to see if that resolves the issue permanently. Please give me a few minutes to try this out.

Answer 2

The docs showed an outdated version for livekit-server-sdk 1.x.

The latest major version is 2.x and constructing those options has changed a bit:

const ingress: CreateIngressOptions = {
  name: 'my-ingress',
  roomName: 'my-room',
  participantIdentity: 'my-participant',
  participantName: 'My Participant',
  video: new IngressVideoOptions({
    source: TrackSource.SCREEN_SHARE,
    encodingOptions: {
      case: 'preset',
      value: IngressVideoEncodingPreset.H264_1080P_30FPS_3_LAYERS,
    },
  }),

  audio: new IngressAudioOptions({
    source: TrackSource.MICROPHONE,
    encodingOptions: {
      case: 'preset',
      value: IngressAudioEncodingPreset.OPUS_STEREO_96KBPS
    }
  })
};
