This is more a conceptual question rather than a direct “how to do this”.<\/p>\n
Is it generally possible to implement a flash-like solution to stream the audio (independent of where we get the stream data from, e.g. webRTC or other) in HTML5 and nodeJS\/binaryJS. If so, how would you go about this?<\/em><\/p>\n There has been only one inquire on stackoverflow found here and its from 2010. NodeJS and HTML5 have grown and matured since then.<\/p>\n What people usually do:<\/strong> When using multimedia streaming (i.e. video or audio) to a server, there is definitely nothing that beats Flash at the current point in time till the full arrival of getUserMedia() – which quite honestly might take a while till 99% of the browser users will get to use it at all.<\/p>\n General practice to stream data to the server is by using a client Flash or Flex application which is then connecting to a RTMP protocol powered media server like RED5, FMS or Wowza. For example, the client app sending the microphone input over RTMP could look like (simplified version)<\/p>\n Together with a server application one is easibly able to stream data to the server.<\/p>\n What I would like to do:<\/strong> Have an app server running on nodeJS (possibly implementing socketIO and binaryJS) that catches the incoming RTMP stream. Something like<\/p>\n Possibly it might be better to use socketIO to differentiate between user interactions via eventEmitters.<\/p>\n What might be the advantages:<\/strong> Generally speaking it seems like a bit overhead to make this kind of approach, but for me there might be advantages and I’d also like you to comment on this.<\/p>\n UPDATE:<\/strong> I’ve talked to Mr. Malcontenti-Wilson who is responsible for the only node-rtmp package that was written but discontinued 8 months ago as it was poorly written and he hit a roadblock. Anyone who used this or was able to check the code?<\/p>\n UPDATE 2:<\/strong> Mr. Malcontenti-Wilson just send me a mail to get my attention to node-mtrude (kind of an odd name) which is doing kind of what we would probably want. Has anyone work with this kind of package?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is more a conceptual question rather than a direct “how to do this”.
