ParsecTOP

Parsec texture streaming client operator for TouchDesigner. Build with CPulsPuls Operator. Based on parsec-cloud/parsec-sdk.

tested in TouchDesigner 2020.26630

Setting up Parsec

You need a Parsec account. Go https://parsecgaming.com/ to create an acount and download Parsec App.

Note that only Windows 10 with some hardware requirements can be the host (the source computer of streaming texture).

login to Parsec API to get session_id

A sessionID and PeerIDs are required to establish Parsec stream session. To get those IDs, use personal_api_parsec-sdk/login.py. For the detail, please refer this.

Note that in the original sdk script, API_HOST URL was not updated, and I modified the HOST as 'https://kessel-api.parsecgaming.com/'.

cd personal_api_parsec-sdk
python login.py

then input your email and password. (You might need error at the first attempt, and required to validate the access via the received email from parsec. ) Then you will get a session_id and a host_peer_id; those are sensitive information then do not share with others.

example:

{"instance_id":"","user_id":999999999,"session_id":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX**872ff21f53a52757399594d5aXXXXXXXXXXXX**","host_peer_id":"1jOuXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx5je"}

To get the list of available host computers, run python host.py , then you'll get like

> python host.py

NAME                 PEER_ID
----                 -------
COMPUTER1            host_peer_idXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
COMPUTER2            host_peer_idYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Then, now you have 2 ids( session_id and host_peer_id) which you will use in ParsecTOP in TouchDesigner.
