Hi all:
We are PhD students at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid working in real-time communications and collaborative software. We have been working with webRTC for the last months.
We have developed a simple MCU capable of forwarding webRTC streams to multiple participants.
We invite you to try our first demo:
http://chotis2.dit.upm.es
It is a broadcast from our university composed of video and audio:
- Video comes from a webcam: It takes a while to load and seems to be inconsistent but we are working on it.
- Audio comes from a voice synthesizer that read tweets with the #webrtc_dit hashtag.
We also added background music to avoid silences.
Note we are not using multiple peerConnections in the broadcaster, it is a single peerConnection connected to a external agent (MCU) that publishes the media, a simple web application connects the subscribers to the MCU, which will retransmit the stream.
Let us know what you think about the idea and thanks for helping us testing it.
Regards,
Pedro
PS: We are working on keeping compatibility with the latest canary versions.
