    For some reason, There is no support for streaming videos in Unity as for now,
    And the current assets that I've tried, aren't doing a great job.

    It could be nice if Unity would update the current Video player to support streaming live videos.
    Please share If you found another way to achieve this.

    Hello @Videolabs , I have a project to bring live realtime 360 video in a co-located VR headset. We're currently doing this with a Ricoh Theta V and another plugin called AVProLive. However we are considering using an Insta360 Pro 2 camera (if we can get the 3840x3840 resolution to work) and they provide access to the live stream via RTMP per their API documented here: https://github.com/Insta360Develop/ProCameraApi/blob/master/commands/start_live_cmd.md Would the VLC for Unity plugin work for this? I've never done anything with VLC before so we'd purchase from the asset store to get the support needed to help get this working.

    I am also curious about Live Streaming support. I am interested in hooking into Twitch & Youtube APIs.

    You can always try your stream with the VLC app (nightlies 4.0 is best) or libvlcsharp, to see if it works. Youtube and Twitch should work.

    @Videolabs How about streaming for headsets like Magic Leap and HoloLens?

    VLC would be great if it worked on Android (need RTMP support) to use in a Quest 2 . Any solutions out there ?

    Those run on Android and UWP, which are not yet supported by VLC for Unity.

    Just curious for any updates on current state of this plugin? Specifically, interested in how the cross-platform support is shaping up.

    Would be interested & willing to donate above/beyond the Unity Asset Store price [plus some developer time debugging & contributing, of course]! :)

    This was a real inspiration to me. I managed to get a TP Link camera working on Quest 2 with RTSP using sideloaded VLC. I would really like to be able to write my own Unity program for quest to get that RTSP stream. Has this been resolved yet, or is there no way atall to get an RTSP video stream onto a texture or something?
