Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating Streama's existing session-creation and external-control paths, then review the discussion for a decided command and authentication scope. Done requires an agreed socket interface that supports the requested video-session control.

Description

Help wanted

I was wondering if it would be possible to use socket to control certain parts of the application. I am designing my own bot in python and would like to have it start a new video session for synced video watching. (right now i just have the bot open a browser and have it do everything in the browser, which eats CPU)

I just figured that socket would be the way to go for this, like Streama would have it's own key for verification, and you would send the key + the command to the socket, and have it execute a function.

So like this:
Python code: Send - 'hQNX3To86NjvqtCx' + ':' + 'Do_this'
Streama code: Recv - 'hQNX3To86NjvqtCx:Do_this'
then split it with the colon, check the key and run the command
