Working with more than one data channel per subscriber<->publisher

[skofo]

Hello, 

coming from successfully being able to transfer data via the data channels using the approach described here I now attached two data channels to a publisher and a subscriber. I can easily send the data via the channels, which are both shown as "connected".

However, on the subscriber side, I receive the data from both channels one on channel, causing errors since both channels expect differently formatted input. 

I tried adding two "default datachannels" but that did not work either. The channel that receives data is the channel that I register first. 

Should that work or does Janus not support this right now?

Can I ask why did you want to use different data channels?

Why don't you put your different inputs format in an object like :

{

  "type": 1, // the type of your input, use it to parse it correctly

  "data": "your data here"'

Sure, we considered that and that would definitely be a simple solution. Consider my question more of a "Is this possible?" as I think multiple video or audio streams per peer connection is possible?

You can only have one data channel per PeerConnection. In multistream VideoRoom, you'll get different subscribers as different labels (label = participant ID), but you have to explicitly subscribe as you do for audio and video.
