Difficulty recording WebRTC livestreams automatically
🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A developer reports difficulty building a reliable, automated system to record multiple simultaneous WebRTC livestreams 24/7, noting that their current approach using Chrome extensions and MediaRecorder results in data loss and laggy chunks.
What people do today
- Custom Chrome extension with content scripts
- MediaRecorder API
- TUS protocol for uploads
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A headless browser automation library specifically optimized for capturing WebRTC media streams directly to disk without base64 encoding overhead.
- A dedicated desktop utility that acts as a virtual audio/video device to intercept WebRTC streams at the OS level rather than the browser DOM level.
- A cloud-based recording service that provides an API to ingest WebRTC streams and output standard video files, removing the need for local browser-based recording.
Real voices
“Several 15s chunks aren t getting uploaded... Some of the 15s chunks are quite laggy... Especially during the overlapping parts, I m losing alot of 15s chunks”
