Difficulty recording multiple WebRTC livestreams reliably

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

The reporter is struggling to build an automated system to record multiple simultaneous WebRTC livestreams, noting that their current method of using a browser extension to proxy WebRTC objects and upload chunks via TUS results in data loss, lag, and missing chunks.

🔧 Fix this

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

  1. A headless browser automation tool specifically optimized for capturing WebRTC media streams directly to disk without chunking overhead.
  2. A dedicated server-side WebRTC media server (like Mediasoup or Janus) that acts as a peer to record streams directly to storage.
  3. A specialized desktop application that uses low-level system hooks to capture browser audio/video buffers before they are processed by the browser's UI layer.
