jsfiddle.net you should see two text-areas and a 'Start Session' button

Run play-from-disk with your browsers SessionDescription as stdin

The output.ivf you created should be in the same directory as play-from-disk. In the jsfiddle the top textarea is your browser, copy that and:

Linux/macOS

Run echo $BROWSER_SDP | play-from-disk
