Pixel streaming

[stellanhaglund]

Hi, I'm a little interested in implementing pixel streaming like UE has.

Does anybody have a good idea of where to start, would rendering to a texture and passing that to the webrtc stream be enough or should it be deeper?

Could you add more details to what "pixel streaming" is, and what you would want in Bevy?

Sure, Unreal has a plugin that enables pixel streaming. Which is basically that you stream the window output through webrtc to a web client, and the inputs from the webclient are forwarded to the running application. In unreal you can also choose if the application should be started headless or normally. I guess what’s happening is that they are passing the output of the gpu pipeline to webrtc. I was thinking that render to texture would be a good option but maybe there is some better way
