Abstract
A software development infrastructure can enable user developers to select remote hardware devices to develop and test their software programs. For some tests and development activity, the user may wish to test media playback on the remote device. The default configuration of network media transmission objects can be modified to use operating system media capture APIs to provide the user developer a media playback from a far-away remote device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- establishing a peer-to-peer communication network between a browser and a remote device, the peer-to-peer communication network comprising a library of objects, the library of objects enabling the peer-to-peer communication between the browser and the remote device and the library of objects comprising a media transmission object, the media transmission object of the peer-to-peer communication network configured, by default, to receive media from hardware components of the remote device and transmit the media over the peer-to-peer communication network;
- decompiling the library of objects of the peer-to-peer communication network;
- modifying the media transmission object of the peer-to-peer communication network to receive the media from a media capturing API of an operating system of the remote device, instead of the hardware components of the remote device;
- recompiling the library of objects and the modified media transmission object;
- capturing, via the recompiled library, media from the operating system media capturing API;
- and
- transmitting the captured media to the browser.
A non-transitory computer storage that stores executable program instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, configure the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- establishing a peer-to-peer communication network between a browser and a remote device, the peer-to-peer communication network comprising a library of objects, the library of objects enabling the peer-to-peer communication between the browser and the remote device and the library of objects comprising a media transmission object, the media transmission object of the peer-to-peer communication network configured, by default, to receive media from hardware components of the remote device and transmit the media over the peer-to-peer communication network;
- decompiling the library of objects of the peer-to-peer communication network;
- modifying the media transmission object of the peer-to-peer communication network to receive the media from a media capturing API of an operating system of the remote device, instead of the hardware components of the remote device;
- recompiling the library of objects and the modified media transmission object;
- capturing, via the recompiled library, media from the operating system media capturing API;
- and
- transmitting the captured media to the browser.
A system comprising a processor, the processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- establishing a peer-to-peer communication network between a browser and a remote device, the peer-to-peer communication network comprising a library of objects, the library of objects enabling the peer-to-peer communication between the browser and the remote device and the library of objects comprising a media transmission object, the media transmission object of the peer-to-peer communication network configured, by default, to receive media from hardware components of the remote device and transmit the media over the peer-to-peer communication network;
- decompiling the library of objects of the peer-to-peer communication network;
- modifying the media transmission object of the peer-to-peer communication network to receive the media from a media capturing API of an operating system of the remote device, instead of the hardware components of the remote device;
- recompiling the library of objects and the modified media transmission object;
- capturing, via the recompiled library, media from the operating system media capturing API;
- and
- transmitting the captured media to the browser.
