@Meai1 I did the same thing - it appears the broadcast server and static server have to be on the same port (i.e. served by the same server instance) - which really dampens the "scalable" aspect.

Would be nice to be able to specify a custom port.

I'm also having problems running examples.

$ node --version
v8.0.0
$ npm --version
v5.0.0

index.js (the magnet server code):

const path = require('path');

const express = require('express');
const nile = require('nile.js/server/nileServer');

const app = express();
const server = app.listen(8000);
const nileServer = nile(server);

app.use('/', nileServer);
app.use('/broadcast', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'broadcast')));

broadcast/index.html (for serving the broadcaster static assets):

<!doctype html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Nile.js Test</title>
		<script src="https://unpkg.com/nile.js/client/dist/nile.Broadcaster.min.js"></script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<video id="viewfinder"></video>
		<button id="start">Start</button>
		<button id="stop">Stop</button>
		<script>
			const broadcaster = new Broadcaster(8000, 'viewfinder', 'start', 'stop');
		</script>
	</body>
</html>

When I serve and visit localhost:8000/broadcast, I see my interface and click Start - chrome prompts for webcam access, but nothing ever shows up in the video port (even after waiting quite a while - it's been running for a few minutes and nothing is showing up).

EDIT: Nevermind; the documentation is vague. You can't use a <video> tag as Nile.js inserts a <video> tag in the element specified in the second argument.

The documentation should be updated to reflect that.

Now I'm seeing myself, but it's just a still. No video.

EDIT 2: Just tested with a viewer client. It's showing that it successfully connected but I'm not seeing any video on the client side. Broadcaster side is still frozen after first or second frame.

Here's the current repro case:

// index.js
const path = require('path');

const express = require('express');
const nile = require('nile.js/server/nileServer');

const app = express();
const server = app.listen(8000);
const nileServer = nile(server);

app.use('/', nileServer);
app.use('/broadcast', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'broadcast')));
app.use('/view', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'viewer')));

<!-- broadcast/index.html -->
<!doctype html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Nile.js Test Broadcaster</title>
		<script src="https://unpkg.com/nile.js/client/dist/nile.Broadcaster.min.js"></script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<div id="viewfinder"></div>
		<button id="start">Start</button>
		<button id="stop">Stop</button>
		<script>
			const broadcaster = new Broadcaster(1000, 'viewfinder', 'start', 'stop');
		</script>
	</body>
</html>

<!-- viewer/index.html -->
<!doctype html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Nile.js Test Viewer</title>
		<script src="https://unpkg.com/nile.js/client/dist/nile.Viewer.min.js"></script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<div id="viewfinder"></div>
		<script>
			const viewer = new Viewer('viewfinder');
		</script>
	</body>
</html>

Uh oh!

Tried example, didnt work #34
