Receive a MovieFileIn TOP instead of Video Device In

[funnyRectangles]

Hi!

Sorry for asking this here, but I got no reply on the TD forum. Is it possible to tweak the MediaPipe .tox component to receive a MovieFileIn??

Thanks a lot!

Hey! We show how to pass a movie file in at the end of the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx4Ellaj6kk You can use OBS or spout cam depending on if you're on mac or windows.

Hi! Thanks for the reply!

I've been trying with OBS on Windows 11 and I've been experiencing severe lag and dropped frames... On the OBS itself the videos are lagging and when I receive them on TD it is even worse... I've tried with different hardware but no good results so far....

Is there any other alternative for doing it inside TD?

If you're on Windows, SpoutCam is a much better way to do this than OBS. There's also an example of how to do this in the video and in the Readme ;)
