Options for rendering local streaming video (+audio)

[jamesjones007]

Hi,

I have a local video service rendering Media Foundation video currently to a PictureBox window. What options do I have to render this same video to an element in CEF? It's local so I'd prefer to bypass a networking stack if possible, but that's not essential if HD playback performance is not adversely affected.

Currently the only option I'm area of is to set up media foundation to output to some kind of http transport/service compatible with WebRTC and MediaStream (getUserMedia). But this seems a lot of hoops to jump through instead of rendering to something within CEF directly. Or if I set up something like that can I not just use the video element with a local http source? Or is it simpler to create some native extension?

You can stream via the network stack using a custom handler (see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=667), create a pepper plugin (see https://developers.google.com/native-client/), or overlay your own window on top of the CEF window.
