Live Stream Using HTML 5 and Node.js

My experiments with HTML 5 and Node.js to make Live Stream.

Canvas

In this case, I'm geting live video and taking snapshots. And a pooling send a canvas to node.js server via websockets.

This case is fully functional now.

To RUN

Install Node.js:

http://nodejs.org/

Install NPM:

https://npmjs.org/

Install modules:

npm install util npm install ws

Run server side:

node LiveWebcamWithHTML5/canvas/server/js/broadcast.js

Run client transmissor and receptors:

http://localhost/LiveWebcamWithHTML5/canvas/client/transmissor.html http://localhost/LiveWebcamWithHTML5/canvas/client/receptor.html

PS.: Is necessary run with http. Like a external page.

RTMP

... It's not been done yet.
