Stream a live video from the game to a web browser

Hi!
What I am doing now is capturing every frame of my game and making a video by using ffmpeg and then link it to a webpage, but I would like to directly stream the video so that I can access it via a Webbrowser via html video tag or something like that. Can anyone help me with this? I searched a little bit, and ffmpeg does not support a video server functionalty in Windows. What else can I use?
Best,
Elisabeth

 

You can use third-party services like Twitch.tv to help you stream your game.

Grab a unityproject here https://github.com/mpoon/twitchbins

The problem is that it's not tested and it's 2 years old. But since it's open source you can update it.

 

I would like to to this also when there is no internet connection. So if there are just a few people in the same network that want to connect to the live stream.
As far as I can see that is not possible with Twitch.tv, is it?
Best, Elisabeth

 

There is a small paradox you're creating: you want to stream your game without internet connection to people who are connected in the same network. In order for them to connect to the same network they would need internet connection.
I don't understand...

 

oh sorry. What I mean is that I want to have a server directly on the computer, where Unity is also running, so that I do not have to register somewhere. I save a image to a video stream every 1/24 sec and want to stream this video. I looked into ffmpeg and icecast, but I don't get it to run. So I am searching for an alternative.

 

I am afraid I can't help you. As far as I know you need to get someone to write server side scripts in order for Unity to communicate with your server properly.

That sounds quite interesting though.
