Broadcast names not distinguishing broadcasts.

[Joe Pea]

I have one client listening like this:

        let deviceOrientation1 = {}
        const broadcast1 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation1')
        broadcast1.on('data', data => {
            Object.assign(deviceOrientation1, data)
        })

        let deviceOrientation2 = {}
        const broadcast2 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation2')
        broadcast2.on('data', data => {
            Object.assign(deviceOrientation2, data)
        })

        let deviceOrientation3 = {}
        const broadcast3 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation3')
        broadcast3.on('data', data => {
            Object.assign(deviceOrientation3, data)
        })

And I have three other clients broadcasting to each named broadcast:

        let broadcast1 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation1')
        const o1 = {...}
        broadcast1.send(o1)

        let broadcast2 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation2')
        const o2 = {...}
        broadcast2.send(o2)

        let broadcast3 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation3')
        const o3 = {...}
        broadcast3.send(o3)

And the server code is

        let broadcast = new Meteor.Broadcast

However, it seems that the first listening client receives all 3 datas into the deviceOrientation1 object, from all three clients! meteor-broadcast doesn't seem to be separating the data to the separate broadcast channels, and deviceOrientation2 and deviceOrientation3 never change, only deviceOrientation1 changes based on all three of the other clients.

I was hoping they would all be separate.

Up until now, I was only using a single device to broadcast orientation1, but I have now added two more devices and realized this issue.

I tried changing the server code to

    let broadcast1 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation1')
    let broadcast2 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation2')
    let broadcast3 = new Meteor.Broadcast('orientation3')

but that didn't work (and looking at the code it seems like Broadcast is meant to be a singleton.

I was able to use rocketchat:streamer to accomplish it in a similar way, so the codes are like this:

clients:

        const streamer = new Meteor.Streamer('orientation')

        streamer.on('orientation1', data => {
            Object.assign(deviceOrientation1, data)
        })

        streamer.on('orientation2', data => {
            Object.assign(deviceOrientation2, data)
        })

        streamer.on('orientation3', data => {
            Object.assign(deviceOrientation3, data)
        })

        let streamer = new Meteor.Streamer('orientation')
        const o = {x, y, z}
        streamer.emit('orientation1', o)

        let streamer = new Meteor.Streamer('orientation')
        const o = {x, y, z}
        streamer.emit('orientation2', o)

        let streamer = new Meteor.Streamer('orientation')
        const o = {x, y, z}
        streamer.emit('orientation3', o)

server:

    let streamer = new Meteor.Streamer('orientation')
    streamer.allowRead('all');
    streamer.allowWrite('all');
