Stream live video feed into Unity3D

Hello Unity3D-Users ,

I want to stream a remote Windows desktop into my Unity Scene. The desktop is streamed using VLC and an OGG Live Video Stream, which can be reached at "http://192.168.1.1:8080/vlc". I attached following script to a simple box:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var url = "http://192.168.1.1:8080/vlc";
3.  
4. function OnMouseDown(){
5.     var www = new WWW(url);
6.     var movieTexture = www.movie;
7.     while(!movieTexture.isReadyToPlay) yield;
8.     renderer.material.mainTexture = movieTexture;
9.     audio.clip = movieTexture.audioClip;
10.     movieTexture.Play();
11.     audio.Play();
12.     }

As you might guess, this does not work at all. Hence I am wondering is it even possible to stream OGG into Unity3D?

Thank you for your help!

 

I want to bump this cause I want to know if possible too!

 

I got a message from support on this, it is easy to read the features as supporting this but they obviously mean you can stream a static video not a live stream since support confirmed to me live streams are not supported.

 

This is possible. I've actually had this working for over a year now. The catch is that you need Unity Pro. And as you mentioned earlier it is limited to OGG format. There is a bit of delay in the stream (2 seconds - 5 seconds, depending on a bunch of factors).

 

I have Unity Pro and I can't get this to work. Can you please tell me what kind of settings you're using for the live stream? I can stream a file over the network, but I can't get a live-transcode-stream working inside unity (works if I stream to VLC)

 

any luck yet col000r i need this also

 

I just played with this using a stream. And for some reason the stream doesn't return true for 'isReadyToPlay'.

I just waited for a second, and started playing none the less, and it worked. Framerate was garbage, but it played.

 

did anyone find solution? I need it too

 

any solve?

 

hi any solution, if please respond.
