Comment on Peersuite p2p encrypted discord alternative
jerrimu@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoPush to talk is in testing now. WebRTC changes quality automatically based on bandwidth. Its usually really good. It runs at full quality in testing ( i have like 6 devices I hook up and test). If you guys normally have a good connection, try again?

Perhaps talking about bitrate wasn’t correct of me. After looking at this again image quality itself is actually pretty good but the framerate is a different story.
To provide context, I used it to share the video game I was playing as my friends that use discord tell me they primarily stick to it for its screen sharing capability which they use when gaming.
I’m not sure how to best test this and provide metrics to you if this is improvable or even something you care about.
To attempt to take the connection factor out of the equation I opened two browser windows and viewed my own screen share from a different username and even then the framerate is not great.

Maybe give vdo.ninja/?screenshare=&quality=0 a try? That’s also completely WebRTC direct connection based. Saved as a bookmark it’s simple to spin up a stream, so the chat decision is disconnected from the streaming.

How are you using it browser or electron? What OS? It looks great in my testing, wil ltry and reproduce the effect you’re getting,

Apologies for the long delay. I was using just the browser via your docker image but today I’ve done some testing with the electeon app.
Wonderful that you added PTT but it’s implementation has a flaw as the Peersuite window MUST be in focus for the PTT key to be read.
As far as the video goes, I’ve definitely confirmed that there’s is some serious frame drop which I’m assuming is directly related to the bitrate in same way. I had a friend on windows use the electron app and share his screen while I watched from the electron app on Linux. I took the following recording to better demonstrate what I’m saying. The quality has gone through multiple transcodes now but that’s not really important as the framerate is what I’m referring to anyway. files.catbox.moe/03f5b1.mkv

Yeah that doesn’t look great. Maybe 15-20 fps tops. It scales depending on bandwidth, do you get better quality with discord?
