node-gst-webrtc

Implement WebRTC Javascript API using Gstreamer's webrtcbin and friends. Uses node-gtk.

Why?

I was inspired by how many of major browsers uses libwebrtc as the basis of their WebRTC implementations, and (allegedly) how hard it is to add a new HW acceleration to it. Implementing this wrapper opens WebRTC to the world of Gstreamer's flexibility and support for multiple HW-accelerated plugins.

...That is, until I realized that WebKitGTK already incoperated Gstreamer into their WebRTC implementation (on top of libwebrtc). Still, this project is fun regardless. Let's see how far I can push this wrapper.

Current state

• Can send, receive data using data channel.
• Can receive media.
• Cannot send media yet.

Rolling TODO

• Implement MediaStream media closure for RTPReceiver
  • Remote side (listen for EOS)
  • Local side (.stop() for MediaStreamTrack, stop() for source?)
• Deals with memory leak in node-gtk (romgrk/node-gtk#302)
