Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v1.0.2

Published

WebRTC MediaStreams to live webm data streams.

Readme

mediastream-to-webm

Converts MediaStreams to live WebM streams. Currently only for Chrome.

Allows you to send video/audio as a single outgoing data stream to many peers.

Features

  • Packages webm clusters and headers into standalone chunks that don't require the entire stream.
  • Fixes MSE problems with timestamp gaps.
  • Abstracts away recording and source buffers.

Install

var MediaStreamToWebm = require('mediastream-to-webm')
<script src="dist/mediastream-to-webm.js" />

Usage

// Wrap your MediaStream into an encoder
var encodedStream = MediaStreamToWebm.EncodedStream(mediaStream)

// The encoded stream is a ReadableStream
encodedStream.pipe(socket1) 
encodedStream.pipe(socket2) // pipe as many times as you want, at any time, without worrying about the structure of the stream
encodedStream.pipe(socket2)
// ...
var decodedStream = MediaStreamToWebm.DecodedStream()
socket.pipe(decodedStream) // pipe the encoded stream into the decoded

// The buffered video element is available for us to watch!
var video = decodedStream.videoElement
video.autoplay = true
video.oncanplay = function () {
    video.play()
}
document.body.appendChild(video) 

API

MediaStreamToWebm.EncodedStream(mediaStream, opts)

Encode a MediaStream into a webm data stream.

mediaStream - The input MediaStream you want to broadcast.

opts - Options object. Default is:

{
    interval: 10,
    mimeType: 'video/webm; codecs="opus,vp8"'
}

MediaStreamToWebm.DecodedStream(opts)

Decode an encoded webm data stream. Decoded data will be buffered into a video element.

opts - Options object. Default is:

{
    videoElement: null, // specify an existing video element
    mimeType: 'video/webm; codecs="opus,vp8"'
}

DecodedStream.videoElement

The video element that will be buffered with the decoded webm stream.

Notes

  • Currently only works on Chrome (Firefox refuses to accept a webm stream from their own MediaRecorder...)
  • This module has additional overhead for live streaming. If you want just want a prerecorded stream, use media-recorder-stream.
  • Headers are sent with every chunk and this packaged needs to be decoded. You won't be able to pass the data stream directly into a webm player.
  • Less efficient and versatile than sending MediaStreams over WebRTC. This "dumb" video stream is not meant to be a replacement for the adaptive bitrate, network-aware SRTP protocol used by WebRTC.
