Streaming sketch output to different machine?

Processing
1

Hello there,

I have an upcoming project which requires running the code and viewing the outputs on different machines, is there a way to stream the processing sketch over a network? It’d be great to get the data either as complete frames, or if there’s a high performance video streaming method anyone can recommend I’d appreciate that also. Are there any clear tutorials for how I might do this?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! You’re completely correct that this would definitely get me thinking about how to use two different machines related to a processing sketch.

With regards to using a server can you think of any way to do the sketch rendering on the server? I really like to have code executed on one machine and the visual results being sent to another; said differently I want the processing sketch frames created on the server and sent for display to the client.

The reason I’m after all of this is I have access to a server that is quite a bit more powerful than my own machine but it’s headless and I would like to see the results. Thanks again for the info!

Here is a node implementation of canvas:

and node p5js:

I haven’t tried these libraries and perhaps I might now, but if you find this working for your project, I’d love to hear what you think of them.

More excellent leads, thank you @ErraticGenerator ! I’ll peak at those later today.

yes @glv that’s totally in the spirit of what I’m looking for.
