This is a rewrite of the old meatspace code and there are some notes:
- This will not work with iOS since they do not support webm. File a ticket with them if you care.
- As a result, this will not work with the current iOS app MeatChat.
- This should work in Android within Firefox or Chrome.

This is using the latest version of socket.io and will not work with the old version from the previous meatspace API.
To post:
Emit to 'message' - in JavaScript on the clientside it would be like this:
var socket = io();
socket.emit('message', {
message: 'your chat message',
media: ['data:image/jpeg;base64,<a base64 blob of the jpeg data>', 'data:image/jpeg;base64,<a base64 blob of the jpeg data>', ...],
ip: '<ip address of user>',
fingerprint: '<a unique fingerprint for the device or service>',
videoType: 'webm'
});
Notes: media has to be an array of 10 JPEG data URIs. Ideally they are recorded 200 ms apart for consistency. Image snapshots must be 200x150 in dimension when sent to the server. If you build a mobile app, you can just scale down the view in the interface but please do not send any other sizes or it won't look good.
videoType defaults to 'webm' but if you specifically request 'h264' then an mp4 will be sent instead. This is useful if you want to build an iOS client.
To listen to incoming messages:
socket.on('message', function (data) {
console.dir(data);
});
