Thanks, we vehemently oppose bloat in our JS files ;)

Thanks :)

If you're on linux, you most likely need the H.264 ffmpeg codec package and things like the Cisco OpenH264 plugin for Firefox. Also, try unblocking WebRTC if you block it

The problem with VP8 is it's almost never hardware accelerated, neither on the encoding nor on the decoding side, so it's undesirable. Also, the software encoder x264 is quite far ahead of libvpx vp8 in terms of the encoding cost vs bitrate vs quality tradeoffs in our testing. We really hope AV1 solves all these issues once and for all in the years to come.

Also which OS? I have a hunch your version of Firefox doesn't have the H.264 codec which we need

Thanks! I'm intrigued by what you built (long-time Linux user here), can you share a link?

webrtcbin is nice for one-to-one, but we were looking for something that's a better fit for one-to-many, which is where mediasoup came in. That being said, mediasoup is quite complex from a maintainability perspective since it's designed to handle several use cases, so we plan on making our own webrtc streaming solution in the future that's designed with only one-to-many in mind

Thanks, I'll go look at what's happening

Hi HN! I'm the CTO of Hyperbeam, happy to answer all the technical questions :)

Thanks! Actually it's neither: we run full Chromium rather than CEF and Mediasoup for webrtc. We have looked into webrtcbin as well, but it wasn't the best fit for us.

Which version of iOS are you on?
