Third Party How to stream a live video with Photon?

Hi all,
we are trying to stream a live video from a webcam hosted in a server to a client, with Photon.
We are using PUN and we are trying to send video frames with RPC calls, but without succes.
Do you know about any alternatives to solve this issue?

Thank you!
Simone

 

Anybody solve this?

 

Streaming video with Photon is technically possible but we don't have a built-in solution yet.

You should not use RPCs for this. Use RaiseEvent and send unreliable. If some part does not arrive, the video should just continue. Else, there would be a growing delay.

Keep an eye on your msgs/sec and traffic, at least when you use the Photon Cloud. There is a cap for traffic per subscription and for streaming, you might run into that.

 

Could Unity be used to create a Drone VR headset app? If so then how does one go about getting the video stream from the camera?

 

Either through sockets (if it can send wifi signals), or through an actual radio antenna.

 

I was just thinking if Time in Video could be shared by first user, every other player could play at the same point of time, I would call it streaming. If the difference goes beyond 2 seconds, we can show a live button so user could jump to live.
