Flutter WebRTC audio but no video - flutter

Question

So I'm building a video calling application using flutter, flutterWeb, and the WebRTC package.
I have a spring boot server sitting in the middle to pass the messages between the two clients.
Each side shows the local video, but neither shows the remote. Audio does work though. I got som nasty feedback loops. Testing with headphones showed that audio does indeed work.
My singaling code

Here are my widgets
class _CallScreenState extends State<CallScreen> {
StompClient _client;
CallingService _callingService;
RTCVideoRenderer _localRenderer = new RTCVideoRenderer();
RTCVideoRenderer _remoteRenderer = new RTCVideoRenderer();
final UserService userService = GetIt.instance.get<UserService>();
void onConnectCallback(StompClient client, StompFrame connectFrame) async {
var currentUser = await userService.getCurrentUser();
_callingService = CallingService(
_client,
widget.intent.toUserId.toString(),
currentUser.id.toString(),
widget.intent.authToken,
onAddRemoteStream,
onRemoveRemoteStream,
onAddLocalStream);
if (widget.intent.initialMessage != null) {
_callingService.processMessage(jsonDecode(widget.intent.initialMessage));
} else {
_callingService.startCall();
}
}
void onAddRemoteStream(MediaStream stream) {
_remoteRenderer.srcObject = stream;
}
void onRemoveRemoteStream(MediaStream steam) {
_remoteRenderer.srcObject = null;
}
void onAddLocalStream(MediaStream stream) {
_localRenderer.srcObject = stream;
}
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_localRenderer.initialize();
_remoteRenderer.initialize();
_client = StompClient(
config: StompConfig(
url: 'ws://${DomainService.getDomainBase()}/stomp',
onConnect: onConnectCallback,
onWebSocketError: (dynamic error) => print(error.toString()),
stompConnectHeaders: {'Authorization': "${widget.intent.authToken}"},
onDisconnect: (message) => print("disconnected ${message.body}"),),
);
_client.activate();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return PlatformScaffold(
pageTitle: "",
child: Flex(
direction: Axis.vertical,
children: [
Flexible(
flex: 1,
child: RTCVideoView(_localRenderer),
),
Flexible(
flex: 1,
child: RTCVideoView(_remoteRenderer),
)
],
),
);
}
}
I put a print statment in the the widget on the addRemoteStream callback, and it's getting called. So some kind of stream is being sent. I'm just not sure why the video isnt' showing.

Answer 1

So my problem was that I wasn't adding queued candidates to the caller.
I added
sendMessage(answerMessage);
if (_remoteCandidates.isNotEmpty) {
_remoteCandidates
.forEach((candidate) => _peerConnection.addCandidate(candidate));
_remoteCandidates.clear();
}
to the processAnswer method and it works just fine!
