Social Live Streaming like Justin.Tv

This project combines some open source projects and commercial plugins that can be downloaded and used in trial mode to start a social live streaming site. This project can be setup for free if  compatible hosting is available.

Site pages and member management is based on WordPress & BuddyPress and live streaming on VideoWhisper.

All groups have a Live Stream tab where users can watch live video and chat realtime. Admins can broadcast anytime from Admin > Live Streaming.

Also groups have a Video Conference tab to the group, where users can video chat realtime in group room.

VideoChat Scripts

Download & Install

If CPanel with Fantastico is available web based installation should be easy and automated (install wordpress from Fantastico then look for the other plugins and install these from wordpress admin).

VideoWhisper provides managed turnkey RTMP hosting for the VideoWhisper plugins.

Budget

To start this in full production mode you would need a one time $250 VideoWhisper level1 lifetime license and $100/month Stream Startup Wowza Media Server hosting plan.

Why is this script better than regular chat roulette clones?

  • Facebook exclusive mode support: so only Facebook verified members can chat. This greatly reduces abusive users due to Facebook rules and screening.
  • Very Reliable: Most chatroulette clones and alternatives can only connect users over P2P which often fails or generates huge latency for regular connections. With this application, when direct P2P connection is not possible due to user network/firewall settings the streaming is done trough a relay streaming server.  The site is available to users that can’t connect on standard chat roulette sites because of their firewalls or internet providers – most users will never go back to such competitor site that did not work for them. P2P can be disabled to provide fast reliable streaming for everybody.
  • Big webcam panels on top of layout, because picture is what’s important on a webcam chat site.
  • Sounds when other user enters, leaves and buzz button: very useful when user is waiting or chat window remains in background.
  • Users have the option to login with Facebook and reserve their username on the website. This allows users to chat with their favourite username / nickname.
  • Facebook application so Facebook users can easily access it, share it and become fans.
  • Webmasters can embed the chat interface on their websites contributing to the viral promotion of the website.
  • Chat logs with webcam snapshots – great content for people to share with their friends (viral content, too). Logs can be commented (ajax).
  • Latest girls and boys: snapshots and profile links for members.
  • Advanced 2 way random chat filters based on Facebook profile: gender, location. Users can easily find people they search and avoid people they don’t want to talk to. Filtering is done instantly both ways. This is a great plus compared to other systems where users waste time browsing trough people they don’t really want to meet or have to wait for script to bounce unwanted users.
  • Many chat roulette clones don’t currently work fine and will never work on active production sites because of amateur developers. VideoWhisper is dedicated to developing and improving video communication projects. This means real support and further development from experts in this type of software.
  • All chat roulette clones are based on Adobe Stratus / Cirrus, a free developer RTMFP service which does not support big commercial projects – meaning most sites will not be able to generate direct revenue. Because the chat application implemented here also works with multiple popular RTMP servers, your site will function even if it turns into a big money generating commercial business and no RTMFP server will be available at that moment.
  • Monetization: Include high conversion ads directly into the conversation. Also see AD in Chat , compatible advertisement management server for chat, that can serve niche online ppv model ads for chatroulette sites.
