Did I create the ultimate tool to watch anime with friends?:blobcatuwu:xtream is a website where you can "upload" any video and watch among other people, without loss of quality.Files are transferred privately via a P2P connection, without going through my server.Each user can choose their preferred audio and subtitle language. Without installing programs or extensions.🧵#P2P #FOSS #Rust #OpenSource #WebRTC

How does it work?Access the website, copy your URL and send it to your friends.You now are on the same room and can communicate through the chat if you want.Any participant can drop a video file (.mp4, .mkv, .webm...). Wait a bit for it to load on all the browsers, and, ready to watch!Video controls are synchronized for everyone, except subtitles and audio settings.

I want to emphasize that this project is still in a very early state. For example, there are no usernames for chat yet, each user has a random number for now 😅 There are some bugs to fix, in some cases videos won't even load.If you have a restrictive firewall, you can't even establish a P2P connection with other peers. I could fix this by setting up a TURN server to relay the videos, but that would make the website more expensive to maintain...

I'm making the project public in this state because I want to know if people really care about it, in order to keep developing it or not.I hope it can be useful to someone. Thank you for reading up to here ❤️ P.S. I don't plan to put ads or anything weird on the website, so enjoy it!

@cosstab seems neat, kudos because of rust (i need to get back on it), but, I wonder what the difference is with syncplay, which granted only used as a user and never used it myself as the hoster

@splitshockvirus @cosstab Dude when a game ends the host better not leave the lobby because everyone else has NAT Type: Strict and the game is just going to say Host migration failed. No good host available.

@splitshockvirus @eric For now I'm working on something to try to not use a TURN server, because I discovered that, on certain restrictive NATs, I can predict the port that will be open on the public side.With that I was able to establish a P2P connection with my phone and with a friend's home network that wouldn't work otherwise. All of my other friends that tried the website could connect to me without TURN because they didn't have restrictive IPv4 NATs or they have IPv6.
