Is It Possible to Stream Video in Kanzi Studio?

Is there a way to stream video feeds directly within a Kanzi Application? If so, how would this be implemented and are there any potential limitations or specific Kanzi components/plugins needed for this? I have already used the Node2D plugin to play a video, but it doesn't look like this can be done the same way.

Thanks!

  Good Day, 
  You can use the Node2D Plugin, 
  Please see here:
  https://docs.kanzi.com/3.9.11/en/examples/node2d-plugin/node2d-plugin-example.html
  
  If you are targeting a specific plugin the Node2D plugin would need to be modified for the specific video codecs for the platform. Not every video file type can be played on every hardware/OS specification. 
  
  If you can describe the issues you are encountering using the Node2D plugin, as then I can provide further guidance.

  Hi,

  I have already managed to get an embedded video source working fine using the Node2D plugin. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to stream video into Kanzi from an external source or if Kanzi only supports embedded videos.

  Thanks!

  Hi Mason, 
  There are a few different options depending on your intentions and target.
  Rightware has a StreamingTexture plugin that was originally created to stream a camera feed to a texture and to display this in a Kanzi Application. 
  
  As well another plugin called appview plugin, modified with a custom backend can be used for streaming a camera on Android. 
  
  It is possible, but there are no exact out of box solutions, I can provide you these plugins directly if you are interested.

  That sounds like it could be what I am looking for. If you could provide those so I could investigate, that would be great!

  Thanks!
