README
Watch videos with friends using WebRTC, let your backend do the pausing and seeking.
Using Pion WebRTC and GStreamer you can now watch videos in real-time with your friends. Watch your favorite movie perfectly synchronized with multiple viewers. If someone pauses it pauses for everyone, and no one can and no one fast forward only their video.
*rtwatch* is different then any other solution because all state is stored on the backend. Only the current audio/video frame is being sent to the viewers, there is no way they can download/cache the videos either for future usage.
## Instructions
### Install GStreamer
#### Debian/Ubuntu
`sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly`
#### Windows MinGW64/MSYS2
`pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gstreamer mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-libav mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-good mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-bad mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-ugly`
##### Error Handling
pkg-config --cflags -- gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-app-1.0
pkg-config: exec: "pkg-config": executable file not found in %PATH%
> After gstreamer installation,SET the `PATH` variable to `C:/{path to gstreamer}/bin`
Sorry, unimplemented: 64 bit mode not compiled in
> RUN `$ g++ -v`
> CHECK Target- x86_64-w64-mingw32(Required).
