Video From The Web?

Hello crew :

does vvvv can play a video from the web ? probly from youtube for example …

what shall i do ?

thanks for your time .

Funny part is, you can just drop your link in Renderer (HTML) and voila… one youtube movie up and playing.

The weird thing is, if I use GDItexture, so I can use that renderer as a texture, the framerate drops really hard, making any streaming media not very useful.

Another way to do this, is using the Screenshot node, just open your browser on a fixed position and aim the screenshot node to it.
(this is much smoother, but will take up some of your desktop space).

hi there. for now i would agree. gdi texture for sure is the most simple and slowest solution. btw. creating a gdi texture in realtime is like taking a screenshot every frame. same thing.

streaming web videos should be done by a non existing flash renderer that directly writes the frame to a direct3d texture.

hmm.
