Hey Thomas
Maybe there's an easy fix to what I'm trying to do.
I'm trying to learn the opentok api in a hurry.  :-S
What I'm trying to do here is grab a video feed from four different
locations and have them show up on our webpage.
There's an event across our province where kids from one end to the
other will be crunching into apples all at the same time.
There will be a countdown and a crunch and that's it.
We need to be able to have people look at the site and see kids
crunching apples without having them ad to the video stream.
Does any of this make sense?
Anyway thanks for the help you've given so far.  Any advice or
direction will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin

The easiest solution is to have multiple users (browsers) connect to

the same session and manage which users publish and which broadcast.

You could divide up the functionality into two pages say gather.html

(run at each of the 4 locations) and show.html (your main webpage).

Gather.html would connect to your session and publish the stream to

it.  show.html would connect to the session and simply subscribe to

incoming streams.  Of course this could be built into a single page

with varying level of complexity..

Hope this helps and is in time for your contest.

Hi Benjamin

An implementation of what Thomas mentioned is my dev comp application

tanglr.tv. Where I have a broadcast and a watch page.

Broadcast pages only allow publishing to the session and watch pages

only allow subscribing to the session (to display all broadcasters).

I only modified a small amount of code and changes to the divs on the

client side with storage of session ids on the server.

Let me know if you need a hand to setup what I did on your own servers

or want to integrate with Tanglr.
