Currently i have a node.js and socket.io application in development on my local machine to test out a few new web technologies and apis.
Currently i have a user being able to log in to my application and display their webcam stream on the page in a html5 video element. Now the source of that element is something like this:
<video id="self" autoplay="" style="display: inline; " src="blob:http%3A//192.168.1.20%3A1234/29768571-e561-4b28-9ebe-bf53d2ee13ad"></video>
I have enabled other users who join the application request to view their stream, so i am passing them the blob:http%3A//192.168.1.20%3A1234/29768571-e561-4b28-9ebe-bf53d2ee13ad portion of the streaming user. Now in testing so far on my local network, that second user is getting a 404 error on the blob. Is there something i am missing? also will socket.io be able to keep that stream constantly streaming?
You cannot pass BLOB's address to other client, that address you have is specific to that page. You should send the content of video, not the address.
