simplify server for record-audio-video-stream #39

Open ThisIsMissEm opened 4 years ago

ThisIsMissEm commented 4 years ago

As only one stream can be maintained at a time, this change moves to just holding on to one stream and closing it before opening a new one. If we receive audio data after the stream is changed, then the stream ID won't match the global STREAM_ID counter. Furthermore, by using only a single stream instance we can simplify the merging process, as we've just a list of files as a result. Additionally, the previous code used clearTimeout on a setInterval, which seemed like a bug.

I wasn't sure if a video could change it's frame-size whilst you're receiving frames, which seems a little odd. Furthermore, a change in size would likely corrupt the entire recording as the two video files to merge would be mismatched in resolution (size).

n.b., I've not had a chance to actually test this code, as I've authored this via GitHub, but it should work and give the same results. This is perhaps a more explicit way of writing the previous code's logic.
