# hypercast-browser

[louiscenter/hypercast](https://github.com/louiscenter/hypercast) refactored as a standalone browser-only module (no Electron!).

Both broadcasting and viewing requires [Beaker Browser](https://beakerbrowser.com/).

## Demo

[Try it now in Beaker Browser!](https://t-mullen.github.io/hypercast-browser/demo/demo.html)

1. Allow webcam access.

2. Click the link to view the stream across the Dat protocol!

3. Share the link and stream to others! :smiley:

## Install

With Browserify:

```bash

npm install --save hypercast-browser

```

```javascript

var Hypercast = require('hypercast-browser')

```

Or without it:

```html

```

## API

### `Hypercast.broadcast(mediaStream, opts)`

Broadcasts a new MediaStream over the Dat protocol. Returns a Dat URL of the stream archive.

`mediaStream` - A WebRTC MediaStream.

`opts` - Options object. Defaults are:

```javascript

{

    interval: 10

    mimeType: 'video/webm; codecs="opus,vp8"'

}

```

### `Hypercast.view(url, opts)`

Views a Hypercast stream via the Dat protocol. Returns a video element that will play the stream.

`url` - Dat URL of stream archive. (Get this from `broadcast`!)

`opts` - Options object. Defaults are:

```javascript

{

    videoElement: null // Specify this to provide your own video element

    mimeType: 'video/webm; codecs="opus,vp8"'

}

```
