Data connection works but video not streaming?

See original GitHub issue

This is the peer with the camera (some info might be missing because I used just JSON.stringify) except I added the steam info as I can see in console.log()

this peer was instantiated with var peer = new SimplePeer({stream: video.stream});

This is the other peer… instantiated with peer = new SimplePeer({initiator:true});

Closing as a duplicate of https://github.com/feross/simple-peer/issues/95.

@teeramusic There is a workaround in that issue. Hope that helps!

Is the initiator not providing a video stream while the other peer is? @teeramusic

If so, see #95
