You can download the following app and test it locally using the Epic signaling server:

Download Demo App

This app has successfully passed the upload sequence, indicating that there are no issues with it.

If the application does not launch as a standard desktop app, the packaged build is invalid. In that case, it will not work with Pixel Streaming.

Let’s say your project name is MyProject2 and you have selected the “Packaged Folder” while packaging the project. The path of the get_ps_servers.bat file would be:

Packaged Folder > Windows > MyProject2 > Samples > PixelStreaming > WebServers

Open

Figure 3. Run get_ps_servers.bat File

After downloading all required files the terminal will be automatically closed.

In newer versions of Unreal Engine, the run_local.bat file has been renamed to Start.bat.
Please follow the same path and click on Start.bat instead.

Let’s say your project name is MyProject2 and you have selected the “Packaged Folder” while packaging the project. The path of the run_local.bat file would be:

Packaged Folder > Windows > MyProject2 > Samples > PixelStreaming > WebServers > SignalingWebServer > platform_scripts > cmd

Open

Figure 5. Run the run_local.bat file

Don’t close the terminal for rest of the tutorial of this section

Let’s say your project name is MyProject2 and you have selected the “Packaged Folder” while packaging the project. Then find the exe file in following path and make a shortcut of this file:

Packaged Folder > Windows

Open

Figure 7. Make a Shortcut of Your App

Let’s say in the target field existing location is "C:\Users\USER\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject2\Packaged Folder\Windows\MyProject2.exe"

You will go the the end of the line and give a space from your keyboard and paste the above command. After pasting the target field will look like this:

"C:\Users\USER\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject2\Packaged Folder\Windows\MyProject2.exe" -log -AudioMixer -PixelStreamingIP=localhost -PixelStreamingPort=8888 -RenderOffScreen -AllowPixelStreamingCommands

Then Click OK button.
