My goal is to create a webclient for an opensource research project called GamingAnywhere. It's a cloud computing architecture.
I've made a huge benchmark about each browser video decoder and the best choice is VLC (Congrats
). The fact is I need to catch events from mouse (position, right/left click) and keyboard but I saw it can't be done easily.
I found several solution:
-Overlay the embed player with div but it can only be done with fbvlc. (am I right?)
-Change directly the web plugin to make my own version.
-Constraint the mouse with pointer lock API and replay it on server side.
Do you have any other solutions and which one do you recommand me?
Two little questions not related:
-Is there way to get video stream resolution ?
-A way to set the caching time like in desktop version ?
Thank you very much for your time !
