GetMasterPlaylist Fallback Solution #5

Closed ericxtang closed 7 years ago

ericxtang commented 7 years ago

Sometimes the broadcaster does NOT accept incoming connections. In this case, the broadcaster has an outgoing connection, but external nodes for some reason cannot directly connect to it. For example, this can happen because of firewalls blocking certain IP ranges.

A fallback solution would be to ask the peers of broadcaster to forward along the request.

To reproduce, try to broadcast from within the Livepeer office inside Wework, and use the gateway node to consume the video.

Ended up using the DHT in Libp2p - https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer-basicnet/pull/6
