Hey guys,
I'm developing what will be a high volume traffic site.
To give you some background, its currently based in jQuery, PHP and mysql. Soon, I will be also be implementing NodeJS.
I am looking for an open sourced video chat application that will allow:
1) For 2 people to video IM each other.
2) Allow groups of up to 4 people to video IM each other.
On the server side:
Can those in the know please fill me in. The last time I looked into this was in 2007/8 and it was Flash Comms server and using Flash for the client.
Now its nearly 2011, are there any better solutions?
Is there a way to leverage skype or facetime?
Are there any solutions which are peer to peer, so I do not have high bandwidth costs.
On the client side:
Is there a way to build a plugin for chrome/firefox but then degrade to flash for IE ?
I guess what I am asking is, whether Flash is still the primary solution or can I use something else for the browser?
Thanks for any answers :)
