Overview

This repository provides coherent software, drivers and utilities to setup streaming and video encoding services in the cloud to enable end-users with remote access to Android and Windows cloud instances.

The following ingredients are included:

• For Windows:
  • Indirect Display Driver (IDD) to enable virtual display devices over headless display adapters
  • Screen capture software to capture, encode and stream Windows desktop output
• For Android (below software runs on Linux):
  • Streaming software - OWT based streaming service
  • Video Encoding software - FFmpeg based video encoding service to assist streaming counterpart
  • Docker configurations for the easy setup
• Helper and test scripts and docker configurations
  • Helper OWT build docker containers for Windows and Linux
  • P2P service docker configuration
  • Chrome browser test client docker configuration (for Android)

Streaming and Video Encoding services for Android are parts of Intel Cloud Streaming for Android OS reference stack and require setup for Android in Container. For details see Celadon documentation.

Prerequisites

• For Android:
  • Video encoding service requires Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series
  • Streaming and Video Encoding services are assumed to be running under same bare metal or virtual host
  • Android in Container is assumed to be properly installed and running under the same bare metal or virtual host as Streaming and Video Encoding services
• For Windows:
  • IDD driver requires Windows 10, version 1903 or newer
    • Note: considering this requirement, IDD driver can be used with Windows Server 2022, but not with Windows Server 2019
  • Screen capture and video encoding should work for any Intel GPU
    • Note: project was validated for Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series
• Docker configurations require at least 100GB free disk space available for docker
