Custom Components streamlit-webrtc

Hi,
testing the webrtc component locally with the basic code:

from streamlit_webrtc import webrtc_streamer
webrtc_streamer(key=“example”)

it worked last week, but it stopped working today with the following error:

TypeError: Unsupported key type

Traceback:

    raise TypeError("Unsupported key type")

I have updated streamlit to version 1.19.0 and streamlit-webrtc to version 0.44.7. but i’m still facing the same issue. Please guide me on what to do in order to resolve this issue. Thank you.

Manage to get webrtc running in streamlit again. Not sure if this is the solution, @whitphx - but this works for now.

I found that my issue was related to an outdated version of pyOpenSSL -

current version was 23.0.0 and the version in my conda was 22.0.0 - so i had to update it - using pip didn’t work for me, so i used conda

conda install -c conda-forge pyopenssl
