Demo Installation Guide
1) Plugin Import
Close your Unreal project if it is open.
Unzip the NexPlayerUnreal SDK (NexPlayer Demo Project) and copy the folder NexPlayerUnreal/Plugins/NexPlayerUnreal (NexPlayer Unreal Plugin) inside of the Plugins folder of your project.
If you don't have a Plugins folder in your project, create one:
Open the project and open the Plugins Window:
Scroll all the way down to the Project section and under the Video category, select NexPlayerUnreal and check Enabled:
A yellow prompt will pop-up asking you to restart the editor, press the Restart Now button:
Unreal Engine will compile the plugin and open the project, with the plugin fully imported.
2) Video Setup
Add to the scene some basic actor where the rendering will occur. It needs to have the UVs properly set. It's recommended to use a Plane or Shape cube (the regular primitive cube won't work because of it's UVs):
Scale the Actor to match the desired video screen ratio (generally 16:9). On the bottom right corner of the Content Browser, press View Options and make sure Show Plugin Content:
Add the BP_NexPlayer Actor located in NexPlayerUnreal Content/Blueprints to the scene:
Select the BP_NexPlayer Actor and set the stream URL in the Details tab:
Add one element to Target Actors in the Details tab and reference the Actor you added before:
Play the scene, and you will see your video rendering on the target Actor:
