# Streamwall
|
|
|
|
:construction: Early WIP release! :construction:
|
|
|
|
Streamwall makes it easy to compose multiple livestreams into a mosaic, with source attributions and audio control.
|

|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, think of Streamwall as a specialized web browser for mosaicing video streams. It uses [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org) to create a grid of web browser views, loading the specified webpages into them. Once the page loads, Streamwall finds the `<video>` tag and reformats the page so that the video fills the space. This works for a wide variety of web pages without specialized scrapers.

|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. Node.js and npm. Download the LTS release from here - https://nodejs.org/en/
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Download streamwall. You can use git, or download and unzip https://github.com/chromakode/streamwall/archive/main.zip
|
|
2. Using a terminal/console window, go to the streamwall directory and install the dependencies: `npm install`
|
|
|
|
## To Start Streamwall
|
|
|
|
1. Using a terminal/console window, go to the streamwall directory and run `npm run start-local`
|
|
2. This will open a black stream window and a browser window. The default username and password are 'woke'.
|
|
3. Use the browser window to load or control streams. The initial list will be populated from https://woke.net/#streams
|
|
4. If you enter the same stream code in multiple cells, it will merge them together for a larger stream.
