[osg-users] [osgPlugins] UDP Video Multicast Stream onto OSG object

[Jay Kemper]

Hello all,

I've been scouring the forums for this answer, but failed to find anything...

So here's the setup:

I have video stream on a multicast address using ffmpeg and the following arguments 

Code:
ffmpeg -framerate 30 -i desktop -b 900k -f mpegts udp://228.10.10.24:12345


I can go to another computer on the network, open a stream on VLC and view the video.


The question:

How can I grab that video and "display" it on an object in an OSG environment?  I know that osgmovie can read from files, but how can i grab and render from a UDP stream?


The context:

I have an OSG-based image generator for a simulator.  I want to have a "hovering screen" in the view that displays streaming video.  It allows custom plugin code written in c/c++.[/code]
