Voice Chat API

Last updated: 2024-01-18 15:13:51
    This document describes how to integrate with Game Multimedia Engine (GME) on macOS.
    Note:
    This document applies to GME SDK version 2.9.

    Considerations

    GME provides two services: voice chat service and voice message and speech-to-text service, both of which rely on key APIs such as Init and Poll.
    Note on Init API
    If you need to use voice chat and voice message services at the same time, you only need to call Init API once. Billing will not start after initialization. After you call Entering a voice chat room to enter the room successfully, the billing will start.

    Directions

    Important notes

    Configure your project before using GME; otherwise, the SDK will not take effect.
    After a GME API is called successfully, QAVError.OK will be returned with the value being 0.
    GME APIs should be called in the same thread.
    The Poll API should be called periodically for GME to trigger event callbacks.
    For detailed error code, please see Error Codes.

    APIs

    @class ITMGRoom;//Room APIs
    @class ITMGAudioCtrl;//Audio APIs
    @class ITMGAudioEffectCtrl;//Sound effect, accompaniment APIs

    Key APIs

    Before the initialization, the SDK is in the uninitialized status, and you need to initialize it through the Init API before you can use the voice chat and speech-to-text services.
    You need to call the Init API before calling any APIs of GME.
    If you have any questions when using the service, please see General FAQs.
    API
    Description
    InitEngine
    Initializes GME
    Poll
    Triggers event callback
    Pause
    Pauses the system
    Resume
    Resumes the system
    Uninit
    Uninitializes GME

    Getting singleton

    To use the voice feature, get the ITMGContext object first.

    Function prototype

    ITMGContext ITMGDelegate <NSObject>

    Sample code

    ITMGContext* _context = [ITMGContext GetInstance];
    _context.TMGDelegate =self;

    Message delivery

    The API callback messages is processed in OnEvent. For the message type, please see ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE. The message content is a dictionary for parsing the API callback contents.

    Function prototype

    - (void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary*)data;

    Sample code

    -(void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data{
    NSLog(@"OnEvent:%lu,data:%@",(unsigned long)eventType,data);
    switch (eventType) {
    //Identify `eventType`
    }
    }

    Initializing SDK

    This API is used to initialize the GME service. It is recommended to call it when initializing the application. No fee is incurred for calling this API.
    For more information on how to get the sdkAppID parameter, see Voice Service Activation Guide.
    The openID uniquely identifies a user with the rules stipulated by the application developer and unique in the application (currently, only INT64 is supported).
    Note:
    The SDK must be initialized before a user can enter a voice chat room.
    The Init API must be called in the same thread with other APIs. It is recommended to call all APIs in the main thread.

    Function prototype

    -(int)InitEngine:(NSString*)sdkAppID openID:(NSString*)openID;
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    sdkAppId
    String
    AppId provided by the GME service from the Tencent Cloud console
    OpenId
    String
    OpenId can only be in Int64 type, which is passed after being converted to a string.

    Returned values

    Returned Value
    Description
    QAV_OK= 0
    Initialized SDK successfully.
    QAV_ERR_SDK_NOT_FULL_UPDATE= 7015
    Checks whether the SDK file is complete. It is recommended to delete it and then import the SDK again.
    The returned value AV_ERR_SDK_NOT_FULL_UPDATE is only a reminder but will not cause an initialization failure.
    If this error is reported during integration, please check the integrity and version of the SDK file as prompted.
    If this error is returned after executable file export, please ignore it and try to avoid displaying it in the UI.

    Sample code

    _openId = _userIdText.text;
    _appId = _appIdText.text;
    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] InitEngine:SDKAPPID openID:_openId];
    

    Triggering event callback

    Event callbacks can be triggered by periodically calling the Poll API in update. The Poll API should be called periodically for GME to trigger event callbacks; otherwise, the entire SDK service will run exceptionally. Refer to the EnginePollHelper.m file in Demo.
    Calling the `Poll` API periodically
    The Poll API must be called periodically and in the main thread to avoid abnormal API callbacks.

    Function prototype

    -(void)Poll;

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] Poll];

    Pausing the system

    When a Pause event occurs in the system, the engine should also be notified for pause. If you need to pause the audio when switching to the background, you can call the Pause API in the listening code used to switch to the background, and call the Resume API in the listening event used to resume the foreground.

    Function prototype

    -(QAVResult)Pause;

    Resuming the system

    When a Resume event occurs in the system, the engine should also be notified for resumption. The Resume API only supports resuming voice chat.

    Function prototype

    -(QAVResult)Resume;
    

    Uninitializing SDK

    This API is used to uninitialize the SDK to make it uninitialized. Switching accounts requires uninitialization.

    Function prototype

    -(int)Uninit;

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] Uninit];

    Voice Chat Room APIs

    You should initialize and call the SDK to enter a room before voice chat can start. If you have any questions when using the service, please see FAQs About Voice Chat.
    API
    Description
    GenAuthBuffer
    Initializes authentication
    EnterRoom
    Enters room
    IsRoomEntered
    Indicates whether room entry is successful
    ExitRoom
    Exits room
    ChangeRoomType
    Modifies user's room audio type
    GetRoomType
    Gets user's room audio type

    Voice chat room call flowchart

    
    
    
    Entered the room successfully
    If the room entry callback result is 0, the room entry is successful. The returned value of 0 from the EnterRoom API does not necessarily mean that the room entry is successful.

    Authentication information

    Generate AuthBuffer for encryption and authentication of relevant features. For release in the production environment, please use the backend deployment key as detailed in Authentication Key.

    Function prototype

    @interface QAVAuthBuffer : NSObject
    + (NSData*) GenAuthBuffer:(unsigned int)appId roomId:(NSString*)roomId openID:(NSString*)openID key:(NSString*)key;
    + @end
    
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    appId
    int
    AppId from the Tencent Cloud console.
    roomId
    NSString
    Room ID, which can contain up to 127 characters.
    openID
    NSString
    User ID, which is the same as openID during initialization.
    key
    NSString
    Permission key from the Tencent Cloud console.

    Sample code

    #import "GMESDK/QAVAuthBuffer.h"
    NSData* authBuffer = [QAVAuthBuffer GenAuthBuffer:SDKAPPID3RD.intValue roomId:_roomId openID:_openId key:AUTHKEY];
    

    Entering a room

    When a user enters a room with the generated authentication information, the ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM message will be received as a callback. Mic and speaker are not enabled by default after room entry. The returned value of AV_OK indicates a success.
    The audio type of the room is determined by the first user to enter the room. After that, if a member in the room changes the room type, it will take effect for all members there. For example, if the first user entering the room uses the smooth sound quality, and the second user entering the room uses the HD sound quality, the room audio type of the second user will become smooth sound quality. Only when a member in the room calls the ChangeRoomType API, the audio type of the room will be changed.
    For more information on how to choose a room audio type, please see Sound Quality Selection.

    Function prototype

    -(int)EnterRoom:(NSString*) roomId roomType:(int)roomType authBuffer:(NSData*)authBuffer;
    
    Parameter
    Type
    Description
    roomId
    NSString
    Room ID, which can contain up to 127 characters
    roomType
    int
    Room audio type
    authBuffer
    NSData
    Authentication key

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] EnterRoom:_roomId roomType:_roomType authBuffer:authBuffer];
    

    Callback for room entry

    After the user enters the room, the message ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM will be sent and identified in the OnEvent function for callback and processing. A successful callback means that the room entry is successful, and the billing starts.

    Sample code

    Sample code for processing the callback, including room entry and network disconnection events.
    -(void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data{
    NSLog(@"OnEvent:%lu,data:%@",(unsigned long)eventType,data);
    switch (eventType) {
    case ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM:
    {
    int result = ((NSNumber*)[data objectForKey:@"result"]).intValue;
    NSString* error_info = [data objectForKey:@"error_info"];
    //Receive the event of successful room entry
    }
    break;
    }
    }
    

    Data details

    Message
    Data
    Sample
    ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ENTER_ROOM
    result; error_info
    {"error_info":"","result":0}
    ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ROOM_DISCONNECT
    result; error_info
    {"error_info":"waiting timeout, please check your network","result":0}
    If the network is disconnected, there will be a disconnected callback prompt ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE.ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_ROOM_DISCONNECT. At this time, the SDK will automatically reconnect, and the callback is ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_RECONNECT_START. When the reconnection is successful, there will be a callback ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_RECONNECT_SUCCESS.

    Error codes

    Error Code Value
    Cause and Suggested Solution
    7006
    Authentication failed:
    The AppID does not exist or is incorrect.
    An error occurred while authenticating the authbuff.
    Authentication expired.
    The OpenId does not meet the specification.
    7007
    Already in another room.
    1001
    The user was already in the process of entering a room but repeated this operation. It is recommended not to call the room entering API until the room entry callback is returned.
    1003
    The user was already in the room and called the room entering API again.
    1101
    Make sure that the SDK is initialized, OpenId complies with the rules, the APIs are called in the same thread, and the Poll API is called normally.

    Exiting the room

    This API is called to exit the current room. It is an async API. The returned value of AV_OK indicates a successful async delivery.
    Note:
    If there is a scenario in the application where room entry is performed immediately after room exit, you don't need to wait for the RoomExitComplete callback notification from the ExitRoom API during API call; instead, you can directly call the API.

    Function prototype

    -(int)ExitRoom
    

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] ExitRoom];
    

    Callback for room exit

    After the user exits a room, a callback will be returned with the message being ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_EXIT_ROOM.

    Sample code

    -(void)OnEvent:(ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE)eventType data:(NSDictionary *)data{
    NSLog(@"OnEvent:%lu,data:%@",(unsigned long)eventType,data);
    switch (eventType) {
    case ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_EXIT_ROOM:
    {
    // Receive the event of successful room exit
    }
    break;
    }
    }

    Determining whether user has entered room

    This API is used to determine whether the user has entered a room. A bool-type value will be returned. The call is invalid during the process of room entry.

    Function prototype

    -(BOOL)IsRoomEntered;
    

    Sample code

    [[ITMGContext GetInstance] IsRoomEntered];
    

    Switching room

    User can call this API to quickly switch the voice chat room after entering the room. After the room is switched, the device is not reset, that is, if the microphone is already enabled in this room, the microphone will keep enabled after the room is switched.
    The callback for quickly switching rooms is ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE.ITMG_MAIN_EVENT_TYPE_SWITCH_ROOM, and the fields are error_info and result.

    API prototype

    -(int) SwitchRoom:(NSString *)roomID authBuffer:(NSData*)authBuffer;

    NSString* log = nil;
    if (result == QAV_OK) {
    log = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"switch room success."];
    } else {
    log = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"switch room failed."];
    }
    [self showLog:log];
    break;
    }
    }
    }
    

    Cross-room mic connection

    Call this API to connect the microphones across rooms after entering the room. And the local user can communicate with the target OpenID user in the target room.

    Example

    User a is in room A, user b is in room B, and user a can talk with b through the cross-room API. When user c in room A speaks, users b and d in room B cannot hear. User c in room A can hear only the voice in room A and the voice of user b in room B but not other users in room B.

    if(_shareRoomSwitch.isOn){
    [[[ITMGContext GetInstance]GetRoom]StartRoomSharing:_shareRoomID.text targetOpenID:_shareOpenID.text authBuffer:NULL];
    }else{
    [[[ITMGContext GetInstance]GetRoom]StopRoomSharing];
    }
    }
    }
    

    Notifications of member room entry and speaking status

    This API is used to obtain the user speaking in the room and display it in the UI, and to send a notification when someone entering or exiting the room.
    Notification for this event will be sent only when the status changes. To get member status in real time, cache the notification when it is received at a higher layer. The event message is ITMG_MAIN_EVNET_TYPE_USER_UPDATE, where the data contains event_id and user_list. The event message will be identified in the OnEvent function. Notifications for audio events are subject to a threshold, and a notification will be sent only when this threshold is exceeded. The notification "A member has stopped sending audio packets” will be sent if no audio packets are received in more than two seconds. This event only returns the member speaking event, but not the specific volume level. If you need the specific volume levels of members in the room, use the GetVolumeById API.

    Muting in a room

    This API is used to add an ID to the audio data blacklist. This operation blocks audio from someone and only applies to the local device. A returned value of 0 indicates the call is successful. Assume that users A, B, and C are all speaking using their mic in a room:
    If A blocks C, A can only hear B;
    If B blocks neither A nor C, B can hear both of them;
    If C blocks neither A nor B, C can hear both of them.
    This API is suitable for scenarios where a user is muted in a room.

    Function prototype

    ITMGContext GetAudioCtrl -(QAVResult)AddAudioBlackList:(NSString*)openID;
    
    Parameter
    Type

    Voice Chat Audio APIs

    
    Image
    
    

    Notes on voice chat audio connection

    The voice chat APIs can only be called after SDK initialization and room entry. When Enable/Disable Mic/Speaker is clicked on the UI, the following practices are recommended:
    For most game applications, it is recommended to call the EnableMic and EnableSpeaker APIs, which is equivalent to calling the EnableAudioCaptureDevice/EnableAudioSend and EnableAudioPlayDevice/EnableAudioRecv APIs.
    For other mobile applications (such as social networking applications), enabling/disabling a capturing device will restart both capturing and playback devices. If the application is playing back background music, it will also be interrupted. Playback will not be interrupted if the mic is enabled/disabled through control of upstreaming/downstreaming. Calling method: call EnableAudioCaptureDevice(true) and EnableAudioPlayDevice(true) once after room entry, and call EnableAudioSend/Recv to send/receive audio streams when Enable/Disable Mic is clicked.
    For more information on how to release only a capturing or playback device, please see the EnableAudioCaptureDevice and EnableAudioPlayDevice.
    Call the pause API to pause the audio engine and call the resume API to resume the audio engine.
