How to Stream audio/video with socket (.io) from node.js server to html5 page

Question

I need to stream mp3 or mp4 from a node.js server and watch it on a html5 page. I am trying to use socket.io to sped up communications and i hope it will lower the latency that i have using simple http. I set up socket.io in my project, both on the client (mobile web application) and the server, but i can't figure out nor find on the web how to properly send data and lead it to a tag.

Solution 1

please see socket.io-stream project https://www.npmjs.org/package/socket.io-stream

Solution 2

Try ffmpeg to make sync audio/video streaming. In HTML5 audio and video tag automatically play it when you give source address of server in src element of audio/video tag.

This is not an example on how to use with video stream. The link gives example(s) on file transfer.
