#2I searched a solution to this 2 year ago, great to see such an easy to use implementation now.

#3What's the purpose of this?
Mostly a tech-demo, or primarily to plug a p2p layer onto existing servers?

it might be useful as a preview for media ingestion

This allows you to view video from protocols the browser doesn’t support with very little added latency.
Things like RTMP/SRT/RIST/RTSP….

#6This is a great project. I really want to add a little JS lib so it could be all done client side
src could be any protocol you want.

Did you end building it? What did yo use? What made it hard?

that is the idea behind https://github.com/flavioribeiro/donut-video but it needs to be updated

#9My issue with this (and WebRTC in general) is that most residential users (at least in the US, probably many other countries) are behind some type of symmetrical NAT or CGNAT, often without the ability to forward ports or have working NAT traversal, which makes WebRTC unusable without a TURN server as it relies on communicating between peers via DTLS over UDP.
The problem with needing a TURN server is that you practically need to host it yourself, because there are no fast and reliable public ones, probably due to abuse. WebTorrent also has the same problem since it also uses WebRTC, and as such, 99% of applications that use either technology simply do not work at all for me or anyone else I've asked to try these services.

It looks to me like an early WIP clone of those "watch movies together with friends online" services.
