Details

&autowhep is an opt-in helper for WHIP publishing links. If a WHIP output URL is configured with &whipout, &whippush, or &pushwhip, and no explicit &whepshare value is already set, VDO.Ninja will try to derive the matching WHEP playback URL and share it with room peers.

This is useful when each guest has a known WHIP publishing endpoint and you want the other guests/viewers to pull that guest via WHEP instead of direct peer-to-peer media.

Known URL patterns include:

WHIP pattern	WHEP pattern
Cloudflare Stream .../{publish-token}/webRTC/publish	.../{playback-id}/webRTC/play
.../whip	.../whep
.../webRTC/publish	.../webRTC/play
.../publish	.../play

Explicit &whepshare values take priority. If you use &whepsharetoken, it will still be attached after the WHEP URL is auto-derived.

&autowhep does not change the default WHIP behavior; it only runs when added to the sender URL.
