TeamSpeak 3 Web-Client

[Phyx]

I wish there was a web-based version of the TeamSpeak 3 client. If we make something like that, we will be famous. [/

If we made it in Java, Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, or HTML5 (would be best). Wow, that would be very amazing. I think many people would use it, it would also probably be safer.

1. Server connection/initiation, nickname, description, ping
2. Exchange channel information (switch), channel chat, create, password attempt
3. VOIP/voice data transfer, receive, codex (Speex/Opus)

I came up with this idea after wishing I could access TeamSpeak 3 while away from my personal system without installing software on another system. In addition to the safety this type of client would offer to the user(s), the interface options are virtually limitless. If we just got the data transfer/exchange down, how we theme everything is our very own choice. We could make TeamSpeak 3 look 100 times better, making it in a browser allows for voice detection/activation I think in most browsers. I am not sure about push to talk, but who needs push to talk with some good voice detection/activation.

If anyone else is interested in this project, throw out some ideas on the feasibility of such a project. I think it would require intense and extensive work to create properly, but let me know --- thanks.

everything would be easy except the UDP transport. you, people have discussed this over and over and they never get past the UDP side of things. You would really need to get working encoding / decoding.

This may help you: https://github.com/Youx/soliloque-client

its writen in C and designed for linux. But its a start

Good Idea, I cant write in C, but I can help the project PM me m8

You cannot create UDP sockets via a web browser. And that's a good thing. Adobe Flash also does not allow this. Java Applets might be able to do this. But who on earth still uses them?
You're forced to have some kind of translation service running on the user's machine (lol nope) or on the server side (lol nope).

Now, let's just pretend we'd had that UDP stuff covered: you still need to crack the encryption (and compression) as we discussed in great detail in different threads. Then you'd also need to implement the codecs, which in theory is simple as they are open-source, however that's no fun to re-implement in JS. Also, you'd need to write highly optimized JS code to keep lags to a minimum.

There's no value in dreaming of a TeamSpeak web client and collecting ideas, if it won't ever work.
Forget it. If you wanna see a web app à la TeamSpeak, look at this: https://discordapp.com/

We have a very old java application for TeamSpeak (3.0.0 I think) which might still run(havn't tested it yet) - they actually wanted to create a web client, but the never officially released it - at least I think so.

you still need to crack the encryption

We also have a working Bot for TeamSpeak (connect, switch channel, poke, message, disconnect). There is no voice implemented yet, but I'm sure thats only a matter of time. (This was not done by me, but I won't reveal the source as this could make TeamSpeak react in an unpleasant way )

Well, I think we are giving away too much information, but anyway the bot will be ready soon (I Guess) so it's ok

I do not have a problem with having this project developed in Microsoft Silverlight, this could be of use right here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/65190/Your-First-Step-to-the-Silverlight-Voice-Video-Cha

Considering the primary audience of TeamSpeak 3 uses Windows OS, Silverlight may not be a bad idea especially since a lot of us have .NET development experience.

This would definitely be able to run in a browser, the UDP issue is not a large problem.

By the way guys, I just put in my two week notice of resignation (the 23rd starts my last week at the security officer job). I will be transitioning over to a part-time position within a great career, I am so excited.

You will see me much more active within the community and I look forward to assisting on this project.

Scratch the Silverlight idea ;[ https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/F...ng-to-another-technology?forum=silverlightnet

Java though: https://github.com/rvantonder/VoiceOverIP/blob/master/client/VoipClient.java

WebRTC may be of interest to us also, I know Discord uses it: https://webrtchacks.com/whats-up-with-whatsapp-and-webrtc/

 

[why-am-i-even-here]

WebRTC is a custom protocol wrapped in DTLS/UDP. You'll need a translation service, as mentioned previously.
Java applets don't work anymore in Chrome. I expect other browser vendors to follow through in the near future.

And Silverlight was dead from the day it was born. Haha.

OT, but: Does the Java app use bindings to the TS binary or was the protocol (and encryption) re-implemented? Same goes for the bot, is it a client plugin or using binary bindings, or is it an actual re-implementation?

Look into node/JS i think it would be vey efficient to do this kind of thing.

 

[why-am-i-even-here]

What kind of thing?
