[Live Web] Midterm idea - Video Streaming System
So, this idea started from about 3 years ago. My university was national, and about to incorporate it without enough discussions with students. Big movement against this decision happened Unlike normal movement in the university lead by few closed groups, lots of individual students wanted to involve with this movement, result into unique things such as music festival and guerrilla installations. Administrative building was occupied with students, and people outside of school wanted to watch what is happening in school. My friends tried hard to broadcast the things, tried with some existing broadcasting systems, but always failed.
Since then, I thought about live streaming system in super light way, without having super server. Finally, I would have opportunity to hand on to build the system as a midterm for live web class.
Now, I am thinking about streaming system relaying the user using peering. In other words, first specific number of users would connect to server directly, but if users are more than that number, first users would act like agent to stream the video.
