any way to get sound from website into maxmsp on server?
anyone have any ideas in how to get sound from a web client into maxmsp in realtime? in other words, someone anywhere on the web, with a mic, visits a website. that website is a web app that that streams sound to the server, where maxmsp is running. instead of streaming, another method could be to capture sound in chunks, and then send a chunk to max to analyze.
ideas? thx!
Flash is often used to build audio chat type applications so it's certainly technically feasible that you could steam audio from a browser back to a server.
My understanding is that Max does have TCP/IP networking objects so (and I am guessing) you could probably build something in Max to receive those audio stream & process them.
That said I don't imagine Max was ever designed to be a network server and I would be inclined to build an intermediate server that handles the streams and shields Max from the browser traffic.
