RecordRTC VS webtorrent

It is all local (and open source) as far as I can tell.

My research; This github looks like it could work https://github.com/muaz-khan/RecordRTC I've found a few APIs and services that I could use but seemed to cost a lot.

I suggest trying Firefox. Also, here's a website where you can test WebRTC screen recording: https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/RecordRTC/ which might be handy for testing it yourself without going through meeting software.

Posting here because I wanted to add it to the Arch Wiki page, but it doesn't work for me. It's possible now to enable the HW accelerated video encoding feature with the command-line flag --enable-features=VaapiVideoEncoder. Testing with the RecordRTC experiment shows that a software codec is still being used (check intel_gpu_top). My HW can only do H264 and VP8, so maybe someone with VP9 HW accelerated encoding will have a better luck with this.

Does recording in Firefox work? test using https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/RecordRTC/

I think this shouldn't be all to hard. I have a repo that only records a microphone and saves it link here. It should get you started to doing it with video as well using the same API even, here is a sample of RecordRTC. If you have any questions feel free to DM me.

For example, Firefox WebRTC can record windows using Portal and dynamically resizes the video to fit whenever you resize the window.

It's because of the kind of content that is shared. BitTorrent serves a lot of content you are not allowed to redistribute, so having an open gateway immediately puts you at risk of aiding the distribution of content. But it does work, someone even made something native to browsers so browsers themselves can share content: https://webtorrent.io/. There are even fuse "gateways" to make it native to your computer and pretend the files exist locally: https://github.com/search?q=bittorrent+fuse&type=repositorie...

IPFS doesn't seem to be used for that kind of content much, it seems to be targeted more towards web-native content (html pages, images, that kind of stuff). It's probably safer for Cloudflare to run this.

title. I have some experience with c++ but not much with torrent libraries. (webtorrent, stremio)

You can stream torrents

If it fits your model, WebTorrent[0] can offload a lot of bandwidth to peers.

Then https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent could be used to actually download the videos in browser, the idea being here though, that you would at least seed out as much as you got. Enabling other's to access videos without requiring creators have the infrastructure to push a video to 1000s or more clients at once.

I assume you've seen https://webtorrent.io/ ?
