Roku Developer Program

[MarkConiglio]

Hello All,

I am an artist and, for a performance I'm creating, I want to stream live video feed to Roku pico projector with a Roku streaming stick. Ideally, this live stream would come from a computer on a local network, and will be provided from another piece of software. (I'm a C++ programmer too, so can handle bridging the two apps.)

But mainly, I'm just looking for some guidance.

1) Can the Roku stick just receive a standard RTSP stream?

2) If not, will the Roku SDK help me with this?

3) Or is there an existing piece of software that does this job? In this case, open source would likely be necessary if I'm going to feed the video output from one app to the other, unless the app in question can receive images via Syphon (See http://syphon.v002.info/)

Thanks for your initial guidance.

Best Wishes,
Mark

No, roku and the roku stick don't support RTSP.
You would need to transcode the incoming signal to any of the available formats roku does support - with an external server. Whether that server runs Wowza, VLC, Flash Media Encoder, or any other package is up to you.

You may be able to do this with FFMpeg and libRTSP, but don't expect the video transcode to be glitch-free.
