YPTSocket is a secure, real-time WebSocket server built with Node.js, designed to integrate with the AVideo platform through a PHP bridge. It allows clients to connect using tokens, enabling real-time features like live chat, user tracking, broadcast messaging, and more.

📁 Project directory: plugin/YPTSocket/AVideo-Socket/

• 🔐 Secure WebSocket (WSS) using HTTPS and SSL
• 🧠 PHP-based token authentication and user info decryption
• 👥 Tracks connected users with metadata (user ID, live key, video ID, etc.)
• 📡 Intelligent message routing (to a user, device, live key, or all clients)
• 📨 Periodic message batching and broadcasting
• 🔌 Deep integration with the AVideo platform

1. Clients connect to the WebSocket server using a webSocketToken.
2. The server delegates token decryption and user info retrieval to a PHP process (worker.php).
3. Upon validation, the client is accepted and registered in memory.
4. Messages sent by users are routed:
   • To themselves
   • To other users or devices
   • To all clients watching a specific live key
   • Or broadcasted to all

cd plugin/YPTSocket/AVideo-Socket/
npm install

Make sure you have a worker.php file in the same directory. It should read JSON from STDIN and return JSON via STDOUT.

Example PHP request (from Node):

{ "id": "123", "action": "getDecryptedInfo", "token": "ABCDEF" }

Ensure the YPTSocket plugin entry exists in your AVideo MySQL database, with values like:

Ensure the .key and .crt paths defined in the database are valid and readable by Node.js.

node server.js

You should see:

YPTSocket
🚀 Secure WebSocket Server is Running!
📡 Listening on: wss://your-domain:2053

Example browser-side JavaScript:

const socket = new WebSocket("wss://your-domain.com:2053?webSocketToken=YOUR_TOKEN");

socket.onopen = () => console.log("✅ Connected");
socket.onmessage = (e) => console.log("📩 Message received:", e.data);
socket.onerror = (e) => console.error("❌ Error:", e);

• This server is designed to be called by the YPTSocket plugin inside AVideo.
• Place this project inside the plugin folder:
  plugin/YPTSocket/AVideo-Socket/
• AVideo will automatically handle token generation and client-side WebSocket connection logic.
• Make sure the plugin is enabled and configured properly in your AVideo system.
