Welcome to my implementation of live streaming along with real time chat. I'm going to make a live streaming platform that will supoort streaming from a single user...aka ME, but will let anyone view it, and interact in a chatroom while I stream a video!
Architecture
Video Streaming
Built with Peerjs for webrtc and socketio for websocket.
Admin publishing client waits for users to join.
When users join they emit an event containing their peerjs ID via websocket, which is relayed to Admin publishing client.
The admin publishing client upon recieving the viewer's peerjs client initiates a peer to peer connection to the viewer, and begins streaming audio and video data across the network using webrtc.
Live Chat
Purely built over websockets. The live chat does not utilize webrtc.
Clients emit messages that are then stored for running a backfill when later users join, this backfill is purged ever 10 seconds when thread size exceeds over 400 messages.
Server broadcasts messages, which is a monitored event that a client will respond to by altering it's own state.
Capabilities
Authenticated route to access to upload permissions
Once logged in I can begin streaming
A random user can hit a url to view a live stream session.
live stream sessions will be visible only when I am streaming.
live stream will be presented with a live chat room!
