Rendering parts of the same VideoPlayer to several Viewports...

greg42

Hi! First post here, i have been playing with Godot for a while, and found almost every answer here in the forums or online but now i'm stuck... I'm trying to get diferent parts (for example the left and right halfs) of a video renderer to multiple viewports ( i mean diferent parts to diferent viewports). The problem is that i can not get to set the Videoplayer node as child of all the viewports, and i don't know any other way to do it (except using diferent viewports). Can anyone give me a hint on this?

Thank you in advance ( and sorry for my basic english :$ )

I've never tried doing this, but one idea is to have the video player in its own scene and instance it to multiple scenes, each with it's own active/current camera, that in turn are instanced under a viewport respectively, if that makes sense.

That seems to make sense, i will try to do it. Would multiple instances of the videoplayer still use only 1 copy of the resource in memory? thanks for your answer! will update the post if this works :D

Well... it actually worked! I'm having some issues now with the texture from the viewport updating correctly in the render target, but i think i should maybe open a discussion for that and subsequent questions. I will mark this one as answered, thank you very much!
