B4J Library [BANano] BANanoPeer library for video/audio/chat/screen sharing

Yes, I know, this is starting to sound like a real fruit basket thing

BANanoPeer is a wrapper around the Peerjs library that allows you to make video/audio conferences with chat and sharing your screen via a browser.

This is also a good library you can use e.g. for making multiplayer games.

Attached is the b4xlib library with source code and the following demo:

Notes:
1. To use this library, you will need to run it on HTTPS, as this is now required to do use the Webcam!
2. For the demo I disabled audio as it got me in a real sound loopback because they were in the same room. You can re-active it, see the comments in the code.

camera.bjl its no present in the zip file...?

 

[alwaysbusy]

it should not be needed. That was from an earlier experiment.

Hi @alwaysbusy: Camera.bjl is missing and cannot be executed,Thank You.

 

[alwaysbusy]

have tried pressing save en running in debug mode. It should not be needed. It is for the MediaRecorder library and that is not used in this project.

nice library!
is the connection happaning to a PeerServer?
how is the data sent from client to client? through a server?

 

[alwaysbusy]

I’m using their PeerServer in this example. You can set up your own, but I have not tried to do that. See here for more info on that https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server

The server is only used as a broker to make the connections. No peer-to-peer data is send over the broker server.

yes i saw in their side that they offer their peer server cloud version: https://peerjs.com/peerserver.html
i have downloaded the server that is written in node.js and had a look at it. it looks really good so this is a great api.

can also been installed from npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/peerjs

that is written in node.js

JavaScript ??

JavaScript ??

i meant they used nodejs for the example. ofcourse it is written in js and nodejs is also written in js. so to run your own peerjs server you can use nodejs.
