Difficulty recording WebRTC livestreams reliably

🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 3/5

A developer reports difficulty building a reliable, automated system to record multiple simultaneous WebRTC livestreams 24/7, noting that their current method of using a browser extension to proxy WebRTC objects and upload chunks results in data loss and latency.

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A headless browser automation library specifically optimized for capturing WebRTC media streams directly to disk without chunking overhead.
  2. A dedicated desktop application that acts as a virtual browser engine to intercept WebRTC packets at the network layer rather than the DOM layer.
  3. A cloud-based recording service API that allows users to provide a URL and automatically handles the WebRTC handshake and stream capture.
