icey
A modular C++20 toolkit for real-time media, WebRTC, and networking, combining FFmpeg, libuv, and libdatachannel into a single runtime.
What is icey?
Icey is a modular C++20 toolkit that provides a complete real-time media stack, acting as a lightweight alternative to Google's libWebRTC. It integrates FFmpeg for media processing, libdatachannel for WebRTC transport, and libuv for networking into a single, cohesive runtime model. It solves the problem of dependency hell and complex build systems often associated with building real-time media applications.
C++ developers building real-time communication systems, media servers, video streaming applications, or those needing a self-hosted WebRTC solution without Google's monolithic stack.
Developers choose Icey for its modular design, fast build times, and comprehensive feature set that includes built-in signalling and TURN server. It offers a cleaner, more integrated alternative to assembling disparate libraries like libWebRTC, FFmpeg, and libuv separately.
