PeerJS share one computer local stream to another computer in same network

I am a newbie to WebRTC and PeerJS. My aim is to share Computer A local media stream to Computer B. I have successfully do this with the use of the cloud PeerJS server. However, I want to setup my server in local network.

Computer A is responsible for capturing the local media stream and I have the following code written.

var peer = new Peer('mycustomid1', {host: 'localhost', port: 9000});

Computer B is responsible for displaying the stream received from Computer A.

var peer = new Peer('mycustomid2', {host: 'Computer A's ipv4 address', port: 9000});

And I start my server with the code:

node peerjs --port 9000

Is my code correct? P.S. I can access Computer A localhost in a web browser on Computer B.

Thanks in advance.

I also struggled a bit with setting up a peerserver. Try adding the key peerjs when you start the server. From the github page:

peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs

I think the key gets defaulted to 'peerjs' when you don't supply it when making a peer. Not to sure about this.

Also, try adding the default path when creating the peers.

var peer = new Peer('mycustomid2', {host: 'Computer A's ipv4 address', port: 9000, path: '/'});

Do this on both peers. Hope it helps
