<video> tag streaming

[feross]

This is a primitive - this should be easier to do, preferably built-in.

[feross]

For those who want to play around with this without waiting, it's already implemented here: https://github.com/feross/webrtc-whiteboard/blob/master/client/index.js#L287 for webrtc-whiteboard.

This is implemented now.

Stream into a video tag like this:

var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent')

var client = new WebTorrent()

client.download(magnet_uri, function (torrent) {
  // Got torrent metadata!
  console.log('Torrent info hash:', torrent.infoHash)

  // Let's say the first file is a webm (vp8) or mp4 (h264) video...
  var file = torrent.files[0]

  // Create a video element
  var video = document.createElement('video')
  video.controls = true
  document.body.appendChild(video)

  // Stream the video into the video tag
  file.createReadStream().pipe(video)
})

iw would be good if you add working example of this on instant.io

[feross]

I have. It only works on chrome because firefox has mediasource behind an
about:config flag. You can enable the mediasource flag to test in firefox.
