Stream Phases

Phase 1

• Receive on socket
• Pass through to another socket, tell requesting client the port
• Print this address in the web browser, i.e. return it when any node (or localhost) does GET /stream/:id

Phase 2

• GET /stream/:id with video content-type opens a long-lived connection
• When data comes in on an incoming stream, drop the data in a data structure that the long lived connection is waiting on
• The GET will dump anything in that data structure to the open connection as soon as it comes in
• Make sure it loops around to avoid buffering everything

Phase 3

• Client opens 2 of these long lived connections
• Read from each frame by frame to fill a (10 second or so) buffer
• Passes gapless sections of buffer to media decoder
