Web Render TOP - Youtube LIVE error

Hi all,

I have been playing around with the WebRender TOP, having a lot of fun piggybacking youtube videos, preloaded/finite videos work fine, but I am hitting an error when I try and grab a Live video. Does anyone have experience getting a live to work, or have a workaround?
Version 2021.14360 (latest at time of post), commercial license, Windows / NVIDIA RTX

Any help or direction would be great

Hi @brendanharwood,

Our WebRender TOP is using the Chromium Embedded Framework which in it’s current version that is delivered with TouchDesigner is not compiled with proprietary codecs causing it to not play live streams for example.
While a bit technical, you might find this solution working for you:

Hi Snaut,
Sorry to dig up this old thread, but the link you provided is dead. Do you know if there is a more updated/working guide on how to build CEF for TouchDesigner?

Thanks!

Hi @mikeace68,

sorry - don’t have any resource for this.

cheers
