javascript - Sending video from ReactNative app to Python Server via socket

Question

I am developing an application in RN which sends the video from the front camera. I tried using WebSockets and SocketIO, but that only helps with text transfer. Also, I know about WebSocketStream in Js but I just can't find any implementation in python. Guide me please.

Answer 1

Websocket is not suitable for this type of applications. you can use technologies like WebRTC for this this purpose. take a look at these technology and frameworks to see which one fit your needs.

• webRTC: for p2p connection
• kurento: webRTC media server
• hls and live streaming technologies

webRTC is a technology developed by google for real-time P2P communication. You can use webRTC to connect two or more end user together and send Data/Audio/Video. Read following resources for more information.

webRTC

React Native Implementation

But its only offer P2P connection for you. If you want to store/modify/broadcast your streams you must use something like Kurento media server.
