Video_stream_add

[Sling]

Be warned if you incorporate this now into an instrument as I have the instrument will error if you try to run it in anything other than the 4.2 beta. There is a way round this by checking if the function is supported before trying to use it but the easiest way is to just comment it out for now.

Any of you guys that are testing this can you please give me an approximate idea of the amount of memory used per stream (system and GPU) - especially with multiple streams - and also if this is making use of multiple cores ?
Thanks,
Joe

The API gives the following example: -- Create a new video stream for the X-plane PFD
my_video_stream = video_stream_add("xpl/G1000_PFD_1", 0, 0, 1024, 768)

Does anyone have an example AM G1000 Overlay that includes the video stream G1000 PFD?

None of these samples are working (requires at least the 4.2 Beta branch for the moment) :

Eventually got it working after installing the flightsim plugin 4.1 Beta 5, still have to understand how to set it properly, anyway, here's a first shot for me :

Ok I get, it looks like I've added too much parameters for my previous initial attempt, so here it is with "video_stream_id = video_stream_add("xpl/G1000_MFD", 0, 0, 1024, 768)" :

with "video_stream_id = video_stream_add("xpl/G1000_PFD_1", 0, 0, 1024, 768)" :

Just a small reminder ... indeed this is not working with the ZiboMod : "video_stream_id = video_stream_add("xpl/CDU739_1", 0, 0, 1024, 768)"

However it works properly with the default Laminar Research 737-800 :
