# ODK Video/Millicast Screens

<figure><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXePnj7WOYF5QwBBQG-LaJ9CQ8DbdptC7EJIGF0FkVJiYjzBQUVzgRLOiDdgvxL7t5hC9Ha1em5Ny7oNNY5exZkiwMJRjvNv5eQB9T0ilmAOj4FRoNejidQY9xdDN-se380uEDTQSEVPCL2GQQfzlY9Ymtg?key=W2-ZMNBPiGgQoccqzXSqMg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<br>

The video screens in the ODK are intended to be a seamless solution for playing video alongside important millicast streams.\
\
The BPM\_VideoPlayerWithMillicastBase actor is a base class for these screens but will not function without a mesh to display the video on.

BPM\_VideoPlayerWithMillicastCurvedScreen is an example of how the base class can be extended to show the stream on a mesh in the world.

<br>

The important function to consider here is “GetMeshComponentToDisplayOn” and should be overwritten to define a static mesh component and MaterialIDs

<br>

<br>

In this example, the video is displayed on the curved video screen mesh and assigned to material IDs 0 and 1. This allows for the image to be shown the correct orientation on the back side of the mesh.

\ <br>

## BPM\_VideoPlayerWithMillicastBase

The base class contains several configurable variables to help with the setup of the videos and millicast.

<br>

The Receiver name will be used on the Millicast Control panels to set which screen to display millicast content on.

<br>

The media texture and media player variables can be reused across multiple screens to keep them in sync, or a unique media player/texture can be created if the user would like media to continue uninterrupted while millicast streams are played on other screens.

<br>

The playlist variable contains a list of M2FileMediaSource assets that reference local video files.\
The player will loop through the playlist until interrupted by a live Millicast stream, at which point it will switch to the millicast stream texture.\
When the stream ends, the screen will switch back to the playlist and continue.
