The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.

For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.

If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.

Streaming Not working

It seems that for some reasons, the live streaming on the Windows Developer Portal doesn´t work when I run application that are using camera frames for some reasons (example: Vuforia, or save the current frame after a gesture).
Why? How to solve his?
Furthermore, the streaming available from the Window Developer Portal needs too often a refresh because sometimes it stops. It´s very uncomfortable for a end-user to refresh the page so often. Is there a way to improve the performance of this streaming?

  • Hello, it won't solve your device portal problem but did you try steaming through the Hololens companion application? You create a local network with your PC/tablet and connect your Hololens on it. There is no delay comparing to the device portal and it does not stop as often.

  • Do you mean the one available in the Windows Store?

  • With that App I don´t need to refresh but still the same problem with Vuforia and each application that use the Camera

  • Yes I meant that one. Ok sorry I can't help you... I hope someone will answer you!

  • I really hope so.. please, someone has an idea to solve this?

  • So, the first part of your question was answered in your other post. As far as the Mixed Reality Streaming stability, I have found my best bet to do it over USB. If you get a good, long USB cable, you can connect to the Device Portal over usb at 127.0.0.1:10080

    This reduces the lag and the disconnections considerably. The other option is to get a portable wifi router that you can use exclusively for the HoloLens and your computer so that you get nothing competing for bandwidth.

  • Thanks Jesse

  • I am experiencing the same problem. Somehow my app won't share the camera with either live streaming on portal site or the Mixed Reality Companion app. The only way I could do live stream is to uncheck PV before the streaming was established, but without PV the background would be just black. I am considering this solution: https://github.com/Microsoft/MixedRealityCompanionKit/tree/master/SpectatorView, but that would be my last resort.

    Hope this would help, and could you letme know if you found a better soluiton.

    Thanks!

  • Even the direct USB from hololens to the laptop is lagging 3-4 secs. Is there any way we can reduce this further?
