Description
Minimal setup guide for Internet Live Stream via FMSocketIOManager.
Basic Setup
All the communication between Server, Clients is via FM SocketIO Manager.
It requires node.js server for the Internet Streaming, which will route your data in public network.
It also requires one Unity3D connection as Server in your whole connection, as it’s Server-Clients based networking system
Thus, there are two parts in this tutorial setup.
Part A: node.js server
Part B: Unity3D FMSocketIOManager
Part A: Node.js server
Our example server is located in our plugin root folder
/FMWebSocket/TestServer_v2.0.0.zip
1. Install npm + node.js
Download and install necessary items https://nodejs.org/en/download/
2. install socket io, you may choose one of the below versions
cmd/terminal: npm install socket.io@2.3
cmd/terminal: npm install socket.io@3.1
cmd/terminal: npm install socket.io@4.0
3. Install express

Part B: Unity3D FMSocketIOManager Setup
Setup for Sender Scene(Server)
1. Create new Game Object and Add Component FM SocketIO Manager
2. Choose Network Type as Server, IP address should be your node.js server’s IP, default “127.0.0.1” is just for testing on local machine.
3. Create new Game Object and Add Component GameViewEncoder
4. Choose Render Camera Mode as Render Cam
5. Create a Camera Object, and rename as “RenderCam”
6. Assign “RenderCam” into GameViewEncoder Settings->RenderCam
7. Add Event “+”, and assign FMSocketIOManager into OnDataByteReadyEvent box
8. Change “No Function” to FMSocketIOManger -> SendToOthers(Dynamic Byte[])
Setup for Receiver Scene(Client)
1. Create new Game Object and Add Component FM SocketIO Manager
2. Choose Network Type as Client, IP address should be your node.js server’s IP, default “127.0.0.1” is just for testing on local machine.
3. Create new Game Object and Add Component GameViewDecoder
4. Add GameViewDecoder to FMSocketIOManager -> OnReceivedByteDataEvent box
5. Change “No Function” to GameViewDecoder -> Action_ProcessImageData(Dynamic Byte[])
