Live Player Streaming

ORB Web Admin can stream any player's live game view directly into the web panel using WebRTC. The companion resource orb-stream handles the capture and publishing.

How It Works

1. 01An admin with the stream.view permission clicks Stream on a player
2. 02The server tells orb-stream on that player's client to start publishing
3. 03orb-stream captures the game view on the GPU via FiveM's CEF external_texture binding
4. 04The frames are published over a peer-to-peer WebRTC connection to the admin's browser
5. 05The admin watches the live feed; clicking Stop ends the session

Why It's Zero-Cost

Because the capture reads the already-rendered game framebuffer on the GPU (rather than taking repeated screenshots), the streamed player sees no measurable FPS drop. There is no dependency on screenshot-basic.

Technical Summary

Requirements

• orb-stream must be ensured in your server.cfg
• Config.Stream.enabled must be true in config.js
• The viewing admin needs the stream.view permission

If a stream won't start, confirm `orb-stream` is running and that the admin's browser can reach the panel's port.
