Socket.IO transmitting a array per emit(...)

Socket.IO transmitting a array per emit(...)

Problem

I am trying to build a Array in my socket io server and sending it to the client.

 var roomList = io.sockets.manager.rooms;

    // new Array to save the clients per room
    var clientsPerRoom = new Array();

    //for (var i = 0; i 

On the client side

var clients = 1;

        for (room in roomList) {
            if (room.length > 0) {
                room = room.replace("/", "");

                clients = clientsPerRoom[room];

                console.log("ROOM: '" + room + "' has '" + clients + "' CLIENTS");

            }
        }

At the client, "clientsPerRoom" is "[]" (empty?), and so "clients" is "undeined". What am I doing wrong?

At the console log from the server are the values 1 if a user is connectet. If more users are online then its still 1 but at least it should send this value to the client.

Thanks

Solution

Even solved yet.

Problem was: io.sockets.clients(room) only counts users who accepted webcam access, otherwise the are not "really" in the room yet.
