For example, The New Years Eve party at Time Square is live streamed from YT or something. Any possible way of putting the Live Feed in-game?
Also is there a way to make something move at real time?
Like the glass ball in time square built on Roblox and make it start to drop at the exact time that the ball in Time Square drops.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. |

| To do the live video, you would have to study how there video that the person streaming the video uses, so you know how it uses data, how to decode the video, what the changable settings on the player there is, and how it sends back the confirmation that it has got the information(Don't know if you need this one) |

Why don't you just parse the entire video on your server and then send it to ROBLOX? Then it would be faster on the playback part.
Plus, you should be able to limit the length of the videos, to, say, one minute or thirty seconds. |

pre: When he sends requests to his server, he could be sending game.JobId (or something like that) to differentiate servers and videos.
Not that I've seen his code or anything. :P |

| you act like its possible to play a video on a screengui without the use of image labels. thats what they are, infact, image labels. if you want to upload them to your server then have httpservice fetch the video, good luck because #1 different format and #2 its going to be one million thousand hundred frames. |

| besides, you'd have to upload each frame to roblox because theres no way roblox will play all those frames without you uploading them. and good luck if you want a 10 hour delay with them getting accepted. plus i think you'd get bored after the first 50 frames. |

@Victimize, "Live Feed in-game"
Perhaps you're just ignorant to the fact that all a video is, is a ton of images playing one after another. Tell me how he'll be able to show an image, let alone a video, in a ROBLOX game without uploading it?
You're just sexist. You can't handle my ladyness. Not my fault you've never seen a girl. |

@Cutie;
Sorry, read 1-2 lines of your comments, skipped the rest.
Am I wrong, or do you say that we "should" instead have bots creating a thousand Decals just for one single video to play?
The current method creates ~7000 Frames, then I still have to download and capture frames for the video.

| I think he means that you can make images out of 100s of tiny frames. |

@Cutie, again.
Take a look here, hover your mouse into the center of the screen: http://www.roblox.com/Testing-place-holder-place?id=110045225
That was done using Frames, not ImageLabels. Though, as you may observe, it is pretty laggish.

| Oh, so just because I overlook the absolute most inefficient way at playing a video, which would lag out if not hog all of the RAM of most computers, means im misinformed? My bad! |

"You're just sexist." In this current situation, that statement is sexist itself because you are practically making the assumption just based on reactions to what you posted.
Anyways, why not go for a lower resolution for a lower quality, yet less laggy feed? Much better than less than a frame per second with about 1000x800ish frames. I doubt the OP would be able to do this with the current suggested methods anyways. |

| A few people (including me) have made importers to Roblox that can take a picture (or URL) and turn it into a series or TextLabels or Frames. |
