Regarding Multiparty Chat

[Manish Vig]

Is this possible to allow a user in multiparty chat of easyrtc without video or audio? So, that he/she can only use the text chat, & see other room member on his screen.

Multiparty chat could be modified to support that functionality.

However, if you have some plans of one person sending their video out to more than 6 or so people, you're going to run into bandwidth issues. The peer-to-peer model only supports a low fan-out.

sir right now i just want to modified it in terms of, if a person don't have any audio and video input source with his device then how he can join the room. Actually in multiparty chat it first ask about the camera & if it didnt find it will show devicenotfound error. So, kindly help me regarding this.

[Eric Davies]

try the below calls (before calling easyrtc.easyApp) in the app that shouldn't be sending video.

   easyrtc.enableVideo(false);

   easyrtc.enableAudio(false);

hi sir,

after putting this code before calling easyrtc.easyApp now no body is connecting in the room.

my problem is:

suppose there are four person A, B, C & D, want to be connect in a room.

A: with audio and video

B: with audio and video

C: with no device

D: with audio and video

and now they are in a room. A, B & D are easily connecting in the room because they have video and audio. But when C opens the url he find the blank screen. only with blank video border. 

And i want C should be connect in the room so that he can atleast use text chat with A, B & D.

Hope now you are clear with my problem.

Hi. I think this problem can be solved through setting the logic at connect();
 
You need this three: 

easyrtc.enableAudio(true);

  easyrtc.enableVideo(true);

  easyrtc.enableDataChannels(true);

inside connect();

Now, when you call easyrtc.initMediaSource you can alter the function in a condition for having either 'all three' or 'first two' or 'only the last one'.

let me know if this logic works.

Dear Anirban,

Thanks for sharing your view.

Actually i am using easyrtc multiparty chat. in this we have appinit() initial call instead of connect().

So can you tell me the same for multiparty.

[Eric Davies]

I looked at the source for easyApp. It's always going to want to allocate a media stream. 

You need a variant version of it that doesn't bother to allocate the media stream. 

[Manish Vig]

Hi sir,

Exactly, now the problem is clear.

Now can you tell me sir, which version i have to use or what should be done to solve my problem.

Thanks

[Manish Vig]

i have try a lot in easyrtc.js but in vain.

kindly tell me the best way to do what i want.

Thanks

You may want to consider looking at the more primitive demo_audio_video.

The purpose of EasyRTC is to make it easy to access WebRTC functionality, not to make it easy to write your entire application.

You may want to consider hiring a programmer.
