Streaming video to roblox, Somehow worked

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback

So, I was in front of the computer and thinking about ideas.
I came up with the idea of sending a streaming video to Roblox.
But I thought this wasn’t possible, but I found that Lua can manipulate bytes with strings and HttpService converts bytes to strings.

So why not make it? I made.

Roblox Video Streaming - YouTube

I made this just for fun, Theres many bugs, but it works so i dont care (lol)

I would suggest not watching the video unless you want rick rolled, I am just amazed at how you did that though! This could be used for bad though, did the rick roll video you watch go through moderation?

Yeah, I think this is the problem.
Video’s are ‘streamed’, so server (not roblox) sends frames in real time (many pixels).
So, its did not go through moderation, which is not good. but, they can’t fix this problem! because this problem’s answer is probably ‘disable http requests’

I will keep this code TOP SECRET

Aw man! If this was open sourced that would be great. But still, nice! Can the videos be how long you want?

WOW!! Do you have any videos/articles that talk about string-byte manipulation, if so I would love to see them! otherwise, you can create a community tutorial if you’re feeling like it! (i didnt forget about the rickroll :neutral_face:)

Haha, I remember the last time someone found a way to do this, they made a place where you could watch a live stream from their computer. Ignoring the betrayal (rickroll smh) this is a really impressive feat, good job
This probably counts as bypassing moderation so I wouldn’t use it for anything in production :wink:

I used string.byte for detecting byte value. also i implemented compression for higher fps

Seems like good idea to me!
