# Video streaming with RethinkDB

This demo shows that streaming video is possible with [RethinkDB

changefeeds](http://rethinkdb.com/blog/realtime-web/). It even

supports recording multiple streams at the same time and streaming to

multiple viewers.

# Usage

Record video from your webcam into a RethinkDB table called 'hello':

```

./stream_webcam 127.0.0.1 28015 hello

```

Live stream the 'hello' table:

```

./play_stream 127.0.0.1 28015 hello

```

Stream from the 'hello' table starting at the beginning:

```

./play_stream 127.0.0.1 28015 hello 0

```

# Data format

Data is formatted as chunks (with a default size of 1 KiB). Each chunk

is associated with an auto-incremented integer id and stored in the

table associated with the stream.

```

{

  "id": 0,

  "chunk": r.binary(...)

}

```

The last document in the stream has an `end` field instead of `chunk`.

```

{

  "id": 2294,

  "end": true

}

```
