virtual-room's Introduction

What is Virtual-Room?

Virtual-Room provides a real-time video sharing platform. Friends can share videos and chat at the same time over a web browser.

Features

Real-Time Video Sharing Share videos with your family and friends in a synchronized way at the same time that you keep a video-call with them. It's like watching your favorite videos in the same room but virtually.
Peer-to-Peer connection Data is shared directly among browsers without passing through a server.
In browser MP4 fragmentation Thanks to MP4Box.js by Telecom ParisTech/TSI/MM/GPAC Cyril Concolato.
Cuting edge technologies Technologies used are P2PSP, WebRTC and MSE.

virtual-room's Issues

Remove "new" from room URL

I think that the word "new" does nothing in the URL. It only makes the URL longer.

So, I propose to use:
http://127.0.0.1:3000/room/1b928792

Instead of:
http://127.0.0.1:3000/room/new/1b928792

What do you think guys?

Pause message over the screen

Show a message on the screen with a text like

Paused by PeerX

while the stream is paused.

Video and audio codecs

I cannot listen the audio of the my video test. I think could be due to the codecs, so two things to check:

Check the codecs on the files (mimeCodec couldn't be static for all videos).
If the codec is not supported show a message and allow to choose a new file.

Error when just one peer is in the team

When one peer is the unique member of the team the following message is returned a lot of times: The peer with ID Undefined has left!

Not working with more than 2 peers

The video keep loading forever. And pause/play messages apear randomly.

# character in URL when pressing webcam controls

Replace '127.0.0.1' to allow any URL

In room.js replace each instance where URL is hard-coded.

For example, http://127.0.0.1:3000 is not good and must be the URL of the webpage.

Webcam: Audio and video off

To do:

Switch off audio.
Switch off video.

The synchronized pause/play works properly from invited peers but not from sender

When you press the pause/play button from the invited peers (peers joined to an existing room) it works properly taking effect in the whole team. However, when you press pause/play button from the sender peer (the room creator) it doesn't take effect in the rest of the team.
