How to Stream an Input from webcam or file to the Hololens
Is there a way to stream a video file or the webcam input from my computer to the hololens and to open a window and see it?
i tried it with VLC, then 'NETWORK' and write the address where the stream is from(my Computer), but nothing happened.
Are there maybe other ways?
Thanks!

Are you trying to do this within the context of your Holographic application, or just in general?
Because in general you can show the video stream from your HoloLens web cam, just take a look at the FaceTracking sample on github. If you just want to show contents of any web cam from another computer on the HoloLens you can take a look at the Holographic Remoting Host, which allows you to create content on a desktop app, and render and stream the content to the HoloLens.
To actually stream content from another computer to the context of a Holographic app, you'd have to look at a couple of different samples, have a look at the Video Playback, the MixedRealityCapture, and Sharing samples to see how to render video, and then use the sharing sample to see how you could stream the content over the network.
