javascript - Using websocket to stream in video tag -

i'm trying stream (webm or mp4) video node.js html5 using websockets (the websocket library socket.io on both server , client). browser in use latest version of chrome (version 26.0.1410.64 m).

i saw here it's possible push video stream in video tag file using mediasource object.

my idea read chunks of data websocket instead of file. can please post example using websockets accomplish or explain me how it?

thanks in advance.

// send blob var blob = new blob("blob contents"); ws.send(blob);  // send arraybuffer var = new uint8array([8,6,7,5,3,0,9]); ws.send(a.buffer); 

blob objects particularly useful when combined javascript file api sending , receiving files, multimedia files, images, video, , audio.
