Corona
Read Me
Photon Corona SDK ------------------------------------------ The Photon Lua library provides a simple to use framework to access the Photon Server and the Photon Cloud from Lua scripts. Cross platform communication is possible, so Lua clients can send events to DotNet or native clients. This might require some adjustments on other platforms. This is shown by the "Particle" demo. The LoadBalancing API is compatible with the Photon Cloud and servers you host yourself, using the Photon Server SDK. Find the latest Photon downloads at https://www.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/download The reference documentation is in this package.

Photon Realtime SDK for .Net (non-Unity) - Readme www.photonengine.com Content ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Photon Client libraries (.Net Standard 2.0, "non-Unity") - Realtime API (C# source) - Chat API (C# source) Versions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The v5 version includes several breaking API changes compared to v4. Pick the one fitting to your project, unless you deliberately want to update. Breaking changes ahead! Backup your project. v4 is used by PUN 2, Fusion, Quantum 2 and Voice 2 v5 is used by Quantum 3. A special Voice 2 version for Quantum 3 is available on request. Documentation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The API reference is included in this package as CHM file. Find the manuals, tutorials, API reference and more online. http://doc.photonengine.com Running the Demos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our demos are built for the Photon Cloud for convenience. The service is free for development. Signing up is instant and without obligation. https://dashboard.photonengine.com Each application type has it's own AppId (e.g Realtime and Chat). This must be copied into the clients: Update the property "AppId" in the source files of the demos. You will find specific sections of the Dashboard per application type. Alternatively host the Photon Server yourself. The AppId is not needed in that case. https://www.photonengine.com/sdks#server How to start the server: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/onpremise/current/getting-started/photon-server-in-5min Chat Documentation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://doc.photonengine.com/en/chat http://forum.photonengine.com Implementing Photon Chat ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photon Chat is separated from other Photon Applications, so it needs it's own AppId. Our demos usually don't have an AppId set. In code, find "<your appid>" to copy yours in. In Unity, we usually use a component to set the AppId via the Inspector. Look for the "Scripts" GameObject in the scenes. Register your Chat Application in the Dashboard: https://dashboard.photonengine.com The class ChatClient and the interface IChatClientListener wrap up most important parts of the Chat API. Please refer to their documentation on how to use this API. More documentation will follow. If you use Unity, copy the source from the ChatApi folder into your project. Unity Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't use Unity, skip this chapter. We assume you're using Unity 2017.4 or newer. The demos are prepared to export for Standalone only. The SDK contains an "Assets" folder. To import Photon into your project, copy the content into your project's Asset folder. You may need to setup the DLLs in the Inspector to export for your platform(s). Currently supported export platforms are: Standalone (Windows, OSx and Linux) WebGL iOS Android Windows 10 UWP Consoles (see: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/current/consoles) All Unity projects must use ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable! This provides compatibility across all exports. Add this to your code (at the beginning), to resolve the "ambiguous Hashtable" declaration: using Hashtable = ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable; How to add Photon to your Unity project: 1) The Unity SDK contains an "Assets" folder. Copy the content into your project's Assets folder. 2) Make sure to have the following line of code in your scripts to make it run in background: Application.runInBackground = true; //without this Photon will loose connection if not focussed 3) Add "using Hashtable = ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable;" to your scripts. Without quotation. 5) If you host a Photon Server change the server address in the client. "localhost:5055" won't work on device. 6) Implement OnApplicationQuit() and disconnect the client when the app stops.

Photon Realtime SDK for Unity - Readme www.photonengine.com Content ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Photon Client libraries for Unity (.Net Standard 2.0) - Realtime API (C# source) - Chat API (C# source) Versions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The v5 version includes several breaking API changes compared to v4. Pick the one fitting to your project, unless you deliberately want to update. Breaking changes ahead! Backup your project. v4 is used by PUN 2, Fusion, Quantum 2 and Voice 2 v5 is used by Quantum 3. A special Voice 2 version for Quantum 3 is available on request. Documentation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The API reference is included in this package as CHM file. Find the manuals, tutorials, API reference and more online. http://doc.photonengine.com Running the Demos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our demos are built for the Photon Cloud for convenience. The service is free for development. Signing up is instant and without obligation. https://dashboard.photonengine.com Each application type has it's own AppId (e.g Realtime and Chat). This must be copied into the clients: Update the property "AppId" in the source files of the demos. You will find specific sections of the Dashboard per application type. Alternatively host the Photon Server yourself. The AppId is not needed in that case. https://www.photonengine.com/sdks#server How to start the server: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/onpremise/current/getting-started/photon-server-in-5min Chat Documentation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://doc.photonengine.com/en/chat http://forum.photonengine.com Implementing Photon Chat ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photon Chat is separated from other Photon Applications, so it needs it's own AppId. Our demos usually don't have an AppId set. In code, find "<your appid>" to copy yours in. In Unity, we usually use a component to set the AppId via the Inspector. Look for the "Scripts" GameObject in the scenes. Register your Chat Application in the Dashboard: https://dashboard.photonengine.com The class ChatClient and the interface IChatClientListener wrap up most important parts of the Chat API. Please refer to their documentation on how to use this API. More documentation will follow. If you use Unity, copy the source from the ChatApi folder into your project. Unity Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't use Unity, skip this chapter. We assume you're using Unity 5.6. or newer. The demos are prepared to export for Standalone only. The SDK contains an "Assets" folder. To import Photon into your project, copy the content into your project's Asset folder. You may need to setup the DLLs in the Inspector to export for your platform(s). Currently supported export platforms are: Standalone (Windows, OSx and Linux) WebGL iOS Android Windows 10 UWP Consoles (see: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/current/consoles) All Unity projects must use ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable! This provides compatibility across all exports. Add this to your code (at the beginning), to resolve the "ambiguous Hashtable" declaration: using Hashtable = ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable; How to add Photon to your Unity project: 1) The Unity SDK contains an "Assets" folder. Copy the content into your project's Assets folder. 2) Make sure to have the following line of code in your scripts to make it run in background: Application.runInBackground = true; //without this Photon will loose connection if not focussed 3) Add "using Hashtable = ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable;" to your scripts. Without quotation. 5) If you host a Photon Server change the server address in the client. "localhost:5055" won't work on device. 6) Implement OnApplicationQuit() and disconnect the client when the app stops.

Photon PUN Unity Assets
Photon Unity Networking (PUN) is our take on high-level multiplayer-features for Unity:
Easy to use callbacks, components to synchronize GameObjects and Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) provide a great start. Below all that is a solid, extensive API for more advanced control.
Alternatively, use the Photon Unity .NET SDK.
The client SDK implements a lean networking framework, LoadBalancing API, offering programmers detailed control.
Get the Photon Unity .NET SDK from here.
No-cost package with various demos, pre-made scripts and reference documentation. Exports to basically all platforms.

Photon Corona SDK ------------------------------------------ The Photon Lua library provides a simple to use framework to access the Photon Server and the Photon Cloud from Lua scripts. Cross platform communication is possible, so Lua clients can send events to DotNet or native clients. This might require some adjustments on other platforms. This is shown by the "Particle" demo. The LoadBalancing API is compatible with the Photon Cloud and servers you host yourself, using the Photon Server SDK. Find the latest Photon downloads at https://www.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/download The reference documentation is in this package.

Pick the one fitting to your project, unless you deliberately want to update. Breaking changes ahead! Backup your project. v4 is used by PUN 2, Fusion, Quantum 2 and Voice 2 v5 is used by Quantum 3. A special Voice 2 version for Quantum 3 is available on request. Documentation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The API reference is included in this package as CHM file. Find the manuals, tutorials, API reference and more online. http://doc.photonengine.com Running the Demos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our demos are built for the Photon Cloud for convenience. The service is free for development. Signing up is instant and without obligation. https://dashboard.photonengine.com Each application type has it's own AppId (e.g Realtime and Chat). This must be copied into the clients: Update the property "AppId" in the source files of the demos. You will find specific sections of the Dashboard per application type. Alternatively host the Photon Server yourself. The AppId is not needed in that case. https://www.photonengine.com/sdks#server How to start the server: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/onpremise/current/getting-started/photon-server-in-5min Chat Documentation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://doc.photonengine.com/en/chat http://forum.photonengine.com Implementing Photon Chat ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photon Chat is separated from other Photon Applications, so it needs it's own AppId. Our demos usually don't have an AppId set. In code, find "<your appid>" to copy yours in. In Unity, we usually use a component to set the AppId via the Inspector. Look for the "Scripts" GameObject in the scenes. Register your Chat Application in the Dashboard: https://dashboard.photonengine.com The class ChatClient and the interface IChatClientListener wrap up most important parts of the Chat API. Please refer to their documentation on how to use this API. More documentation will follow. If you use Unity, copy the source from the ChatApi folder into your project. Unity Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't use Unity, skip this chapter. We assume you're using Unity 2017.4 or newer. The demos are prepared to export for Standalone only. The SDK contains an "Assets" folder. To import Photon into your project, copy the content into your project's Asset folder. You may need to setup the DLLs in the Inspector to export for your platform(s). Currently supported export platforms are: Standalone (Windows, OSx and Linux) WebGL iOS Android Windows 10 UWP Consoles (see: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/current/consoles) All Unity projects must use ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable! This provides compatibility across all exports. Add this to your code (at the beginning), to resolve the "ambiguous Hashtable" declaration: using Hashtable = ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable; How to add Photon to your Unity project: 1) The Unity SDK contains an "Assets" folder. Copy the content into your project's Assets folder. 2) Make sure to have the following line of code in your scripts to make it run in background: Application.runInBackground = true; //without this Photon will loose connection if not focussed 3) Add "using Hashtable = ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable;" to your scripts. Without quotation. 5) If you host a Photon Server change the server address in the client. "localhost:5055" won't work on device. 6) Implement OnApplicationQuit() and disconnect the client when the app stops.

Unity Video SDK
Read Me
# Photon Voice 2 Video Unity SDK ## Names For now, we use Voice term in a meaning of Stream. PhotonVoice2 supports Audio Voices. This SDK adds Video Voices support. We may change this naming to less confusing later. ## Video Processing H264 codec is used for video streaming. Encoding and decoding are implemented with native platform API. Video capture is implemented via native platform API on mobile platforms and UWP. On desktops, capture uses Unity WebCam API. All platforms support video output to Unity textures (Platform.Create[PreviewManager,VideoRecorder,VideoPlayer]UnityTexture calls). This is the preferred output method. To use an object for video output, apply a material with "PhotonVoiceApi/VideoTexture3D" shader ("PhotonVoiceApi/VideoTextureExt3D" for Android) to it and assign PlatformView property of recorder or player as material's texture. Mobile platforms and UWP also support video output via native platform API (Platform.CreateDefault[PreviewManager,VideoRecorder,VideoPlayer] methods). ## Supported platforms - Windows - MacOS - iOS - Android - UWP (HL2) - Unity WebGL (Chrome, Opera, Edge) IL2CPP is the recommended scripting backend. Mono is not guaranteed to work. There is no Unty integration for video streaming. Voice client should be used directly. It's possible to reuse existing audio Voice client in Unity or PUN app. ## Installation - If updating existing project, remove PhotonVoiceLibs and PhotonVoiceApi folders in Assets\Photon\PhotonVoice\ - Import Photon Video SDK package - Select *Window -> Photon Voice -> Enable Video* from the Editor menu (or manually add *PHOTON_VOICE_VIDEO_ENABLE* scripting define symbol for each platform). - Open TestVideo/scene - Set App Id in Settings component of Client object - Make sure that Camera and Microphone permissions enabled ## iOS - Add VideoToolbox framework to UnityFramework target link dependencies (Build Phases) ## Android - Android 5.0 (API level 21) is required for video capture. - If Unity Texture is used for video output, Multithreading render is not supported, Vulkan Graphics API is not supported - Video encoder and decoder do not work on some Unuty versions beause of the bug: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/android-sbyte-type-is-considered-to-be-not-primitive-when-compiling-il2cpp-code ## UWP - If using MediaPlayerElement for video output, export XAML project. - If using IMGUI (OnGUI driven) user interface, limit fps by setting QualitySettings.vSyncCount = 1 or Application.targetFrameRate = 60, otherwise UI methoda calls make D3D video stall. ## Mac - In case Unity can't load a bundle library and reports that it's damaged, try to: 1. Open the MacOS terminal 2. ```cd``` to ```Assets/Photon/PhotonVoice/PhotonVoiceLibs/OSX``` 3. Run ```xattr -d com.apple.quarantine *.bundle``` ## Video Settings - Bitrate. Currently Photon Cloud servers do not support rates higher than 400 kbit. - Resolution. Please stick to the following video sizes which are tested with PhotonVoice Video: - 320x240 - 640x480 - 768x432 - 848x480 - 1024x576 - 1280x720 - 1920x1440 ## Streaming Settings (VoiceCreateOptions and LocalVoice properties) - Fragment. Set it to true to split large video frames into small packets sent independently by Photon transports. In unreliable mode, if some small packets are lost, the frame buffer is still passed to the decoder with 0s instead of lost data. - Reliable. All packets are guaranteed to deliver. May be used in combination with Fragment. - FEC. If > 0, after the specified numnber of frames, a forward error correction packet is sent. Do not use with Reliable. Mostly useful in Fragment mode because it reduces losses of large packet fragments. ## Multiple streams from the same camera - Supported on Windows, Mac and WebGL. - Create a 2nd video stream and specify the same camera name, but different bitrate. - On Windows and Mac, also different resolutions are supported. High-res video stream must be created before low-res to avoid camera initialization with lower resolution.
