Hi all, I'm thinking of using ClusterWs for a demo app. I was wondering if I can access the raw video data on the server for some extra processing before passing it to the clients?

I hope i understood your question properly :)

There is no message modification on the publis event but what you can do is to send message (vide/audio) to the server with standard send then process it on the server and then publish to the channel:

Client -> standard send -> server (process) -> server.publish to the channel -> all other clients which listen to the channel.

This is one of the best approaches which i also prefer to use in most cases as i can do proper data validation and stuff.

Now about video and audio streaming i don't think WebSocket protocol is the best way to deal with it. I think you better check out UDP protocol.

thanks for the reply. As for the streaming, would webrtc work?

Yes if you are using it for Peer-To-Peer communication (in any way you will need to use websokcet for signalling when user is connected or disconnected to stop or start stream for particular IP)
