Week 2. Learning WebRTC

Hi again!

On my second week I’ve been working on WebRTC tecnologies like WebSockets, RTCPeerConnection and DataChannels. The main objective is develop a code to share a video element (in this case is the Kibotics websim) with othe user using WebRTC.

I’ve been studying differents examples from internet, mainly in the WebRTC tutorials page. Following these tutorials I’ve develop the following examples:

1. stream_camera example. This example record the laptop camera and play it on an html video.
2. element_share. This example play a html embed video clicking in the “Start” button and play it on a second html video.
3. peerconnection_stream. This example it’s a bit more complicated and record a html embed video and stream it via RTCPeerConnection to a second html video. The example works perfect streaming the camera video but using the html embed video, the stream it’s played in black.
4. RTCPeedConnectionServer. In this example I’ve developped a signalig WebRTC server to connect different user by pairs with a unique token secuence.
5. chat_server. This last developped example uses the 4) example to implement a chat with DataChannels. It’s a work in progress and I hope to finish it tomorrow.

And that’s all about this week!

Pablo.
