RemoteGUI

The RemoteGUI sample is here to provide live, visual, and interactive information about your program. It is currently supported by GVEncode, Composed, and the SDK. For now, the user interaction is limited to closing and moving information rectangles, as well as toggling some config settings.

Encoding

The encoding service interface exposes feedback from various filters, each with such info as their respective time, latency, number of frames, etc.

Composition

The composition service interface exposes information about its stream bus such as the fps, as well as feedback about the sources connected to its frontend.

SDK

As of now, the SDK integration is focused on providing configuration information. You can find standard info there about the different streams (ID, framerate, granularity, etc.). A debug console is supplied with settings you can toggle. There are also sections for events and commands, although they are currently not active.

Usage

For local applications, you can simply load the sample to your cluster.

py remotegui.py load

For cloud clusters, you’ll need to build the docker image and upload it to your s3 bucket.

py remotegui.py build-cloud
py remotegui.py -c {clustername} upload-images --update-config
py remotegui.py -c {clustername} load

You will then have access to the following links: COMPOSITION GUI, ENCODING GUI, and SDK GUI.

If you want to add the RemoteGUI SDK integration to your game, simply open a port and service for it in your Nomad template. Nomad passes the allocated address to the C++ program via environment variables, so the port name has to be sdkgui for it to be recognized. The service name can vary as long as you match it in your link declaration. You can find examples by looking at the configs and templates of any of the cube samples.
