CEF browser CPU load

[gimmesomemo]

Hey Everyone!!

I host a video channel on ustream and always wanted to stream my channel into my own MTA server.

To my delight, MTASA handles video sites very smoothly with great interaction! -

How cpu intensive is the CEF browser instance?

I want to make a house/business/bank type server with the video stream on every billboard, many many instances all over the map.

Is that theoretically possible without bogging everyone's machine down?

Any input is appreciated!! Thanks!

May be possible if you handle it right. If you're going to display the browser window in a 3D world, then make sure that you load it only when the player is close to it.

Yes it is possible you can apply what I provided below to your use.

local LS = createColRectangle (-800.81671, -2990.10657, 5100, 3330) 
local LV = createColRectangle (-810, 350, 5000, 3000) 
local SF = createColRectangle (-4000, -3000, 3190, 6000) 
function getPlayerCityName(element) 
if ( not isElement(element) ) then return end 
    if (isElementWithinColShape(element, LS)) then 
        result = "LS" 
    elseif (isElementWithinColShape(element, LV)) then 
        result = "LV" 
    elseif (isElementWithinColShape(element, SF)) then 
        result = "SF"        
    end 
    return result 
end 

But make sure to destroy the browser when the player leaves the rectangle.

lol. It is easier to make some dummy invisible object in the place of 3d browser and create the browser only if that object streams in. Destroy it when it streams out, of course.

If you're talking about many instances of CEF, then I assure you it will lag. However, if you mean many MTA billboard-objects, then you can use just one CEF browser and apply it to a texture without a specific target element (will be applied to all textures of that name, i.e. the billboard screen) (video will be played in sync on every billboard per client)

THANKS! This is GREAT news!!! I've toyed with starting my own server and added house/business/bank resources, but I have no experience with actual scripting. This might take me a while to figure out..
