The official home for the Pixel Streaming servers and frontend!

The Pixel Streaming servers and web frontend that was in Samples/PixelStreaming/WebServers is now here for all to contribute to.

Goals

The goals of this repository are to:

Increase the release cadence for the Pixel Streaming servers (to mitigate browser breaking changes sooner).
Encourage easier contribution of these components by Unreal Engine licensees.
Facilitate a more standard web release mechanism.
Grant a permissive license to distribute and modify this code wherever you see fit (MIT licensed).

Reference implementations for the various pieces needed to support a PixelStreaming application:

We release a number of different things under this repository, currently they are:

container images for the signalling server
npm packages for the frontend
source releases of this repo with the reference frontend built as a minified js bundle

The following container images are built from this repository:

The following are unofficial NPM packages (official ones coming soon):

Branch	Frontend library	Frontend reference ui
UE5.2	lib-pixelstreamingfrontend-ue5.2	lib-pixelstreamingfrontend-ui-ue5.2

#frontend (core lib)
npm i @epicgames-ps/lib-pixelstreamingfrontend-ue5.2
#frontend ui
npm i @epicgames-ps/lib-pixelstreamingfrontend-ui-ue5.2

We maintain versions of the servers and frontend that are compatible with existing and in-development version of Unreal Engine.

⚠️ There are breaking changes between UE versions - so make sure you get the right version. ⚠️

For a list of major changes between versions please refer to the changelog.
