Examples don't work

[NaBUru38]

Hello, I've downloaded Spout4Unity but I can't make the examples stream the texture.

At the Sending example scene, I click on play and the RenderTexture gets updated when I move the cube. On the Spout receiver i open the "UnityRender" stream but I get a black image.

I've tried the four texture format values with no success. Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks!

Hard to say what the problem could be.
What Spout Receiver do you use? I tested it with the SpoutReceiver.exe that is in the Spout2/DEMO folder.
If you use another SpoutReceiver check if it has DX11 support.

i do have the same problem, opening SimpleSender.unity, hitting 'play':

unity console:

Spout sender creation with name UnitySender failed !
UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning(Object)
Spout.Spout:CreateSender(String, Texture, Int32) (at Assets/Spout/Scripts/Spout.cs:352)
Spout.SpoutSender:_CreateSender() (at Assets/Spout/Scripts/SpoutSender.cs:160)
Spout.SpoutSender:_Update() (at Assets/Spout/Scripts/SpoutSender.cs:133)
Spout.SpoutSender:Update() (at Assets/Spout/Scripts/SpoutSender.cs:98)

There are problems with creating the sender UnitySender. Please check your settings or restart Unity.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning(Object)
Spout.SpoutSender:_CreateSender() (at Assets/Spout/Scripts/SpoutSender.cs:164)

env

• unity 5.0.1f3 on win.8.1 (all on and runing in x64)
• receiver: spout dx11 receiver and vvvv example (both are testet as working receivers)
• gfx: gtx 970

try-and-fail
-setting texture formats (all 4)
-enabling depth buffer on SpoutRenderTexture.0

thanks for any hints, and sorry if this is hijacking another problem

What setting do you have on your RenderTexture in Unity? Did you use the deault settings that comes with the demo? TextureFormat DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM worked on my computer all the time.

Yes, i tried that. I am going to try to compile NativeSpoutPlugin. I tried that yesterday, but that opened up a whole new can of worms (using vs2013 and latest spout sdk [2.004], i got several errors, of which i could solve some [like file dependencies] but not all [like some deprecated function warnings] )..

• which version of spoutsdk did you compile the plugin with ?

[sloopidoopi]

The used Spout SDK version is V2.002.It was compiled with VS2010

thx. i managed to compile it, but its the same binary/dll (?) thats being compiled, but i guess that was to be expected. i have to dig in deeper and do my homework, progressing further, i really want to use unity+spout. i'll let you know what i come up with, for now im fishing in the dark, maybee i can get some hints looking at the vvvv implementation or something..

strangely, on my collegues pc (using a gtx 660) its running out of the box (otherwise same system win8.1 x64)

I did give it another try, unity5.3.3f1 and spout 2.004 ..demoscene works flawless with Spout DX11 receiver
