I had earlier posted some questions on this problem. At that time I had two separate programs for caller and receiver. I was also using old-fashioned callback API. Thanks to help from @jib on that post, I was able to understand the need for some fundamental changes. I rewrote the program to make it an integrated one for both caller and receiver and have used the WebRTC promises API. My problem is that I am not getting remote video from either end. One part I understand but do not know the solution: The receiver does not create SDPs for Video in the first place, only for audio. The caller part does create SDPS for Video and audio but on the receiver end there is no event generated for remote stream.
I have checked, through console logs, that the core functions work. Offer SDP is created, sent out, received, answer SDP created, sent out, received, etc. Candidates get exchanged and added too. But the .onaddstream event handler is never triggered. Local video is shown but that is trivial.
I have spent a LOT of time on this. I simply need to get that exciting feeling of seeing remote video on both ends which has kept me going. ANY HELP WILL BE SINCERELY APPRECIATED.

ON THE SERVER SIDE (RELEVANT CODE ONLY). I have included here just in case there are any datatype related issues - object types, etc. getting changed when sent thru the server.
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
socket.on('sdpOffer', function(data) {
sdpOffer = data.sdp;
socket.broadcast.emit('sdpOffer',{"sdpOffer":data});
});
socket.on('sdpAnswer', function(data) {
sdpAnswer = data.sdp;
socket.broadcast.emit('sdpAnswer',{"sdpAnswer":data});
});
socket.on('candidate', function(data) {
socket.broadcast.emit('candidate',data);
});
});
