Exciting. I'm going to have a dive into the code - the best way to learn. I'd give a shout out to vdo.ninja for webrtc work- so looking into integrationwith livecode and the browser widget will be very useful.
The reason for gstreamer is the beed to work on a constrained memory footprint device like the pi zero 2w - the overhead a browser pushes emery usage to the margin when doing fancy things with video. For Hitchhiker TV I want the Livecode app interacting with the Pi4 /Pi Zero.
