#WebRTC Rails

This is a basic aplication I have build to test WebRTC, my main objective is to practice WebRTC. I will slowly improve the aplication, and add more features each time.

##Start Now

To start the project and test is at your own you have to do the following:

1. Clone the repo: git clone [email protected]:XescuGC/webrtc-rails.git
2. Install all the gems with bundle install
3. Go to app/rtc/ and run npm install to install socket.io
4. Check to see your IP: ifconfig, copy the IP and change the ones in public/javascripts/rtc/client_signaling.js and at the first line change the io.connect('YOUR-IP:2013')
5. Open the server rails server
6. Open the NodeJs server node app/rtc/server.js
7. Go to the URL: localhost:3000
8. ENJOY!

##Test it in production

Here you have the link

At the moment it only works between Chrome and Chrome (I'm currently working on the problem)

##Objectives

As I said before the main objective is to practice WebRTC but I will list some of the other objectives I have in mind:

1. DONE WebRTC between 2 peers
2. DONE Clean the webpage of unneeded menus, just the Home page and a page to call
3. DONE Add a chat module (with NodeJs, latter can be improved to be with arbitrary data with RTCDataChannel)
4. Change the NodeJS server to a native Ruby (EventMachine)
5. Control of errors in the Call (on of the Peers leave ... etc)
6. DONE Ability to create your own rooms with diferets names, and to setup an user name (for the Chat)
7. Ability to activate and desactivate Video or Audio, and reactivate them
8. Room with more than 2 Peers
9. Change the Chat from NodeJS to WebRTC DataChannel
