## Demo Installation Guide

### 1) Plugin Import

Close your Unreal project if it is open.

Unzip the NexPlayerUnreal SDK (NexPlayer Demo Project) and copy the folder NexPlayerUnreal/Plugins/NexPlayerUnreal (NexPlayer Unreal Plugin) inside of the Plugins folder of your project. If you don't have a Plugins folder in your project, create one: 
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_02.PNG" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_2" align="center"></img>

Open the project and open the Plugins Window:
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_03.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_3" align="center"></img>

Scroll all the way down to the Project section and under the Video category, select NexPlayerUnreal and check Enabled:
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_04.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_4" align="center"></img>

A yellow prompt will pop-up asking you to restart the editor, press the Restart Now button: 
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_05.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_5" align="center"></img>

Unreal Engine will compile the plugin and open the project, with the plugin fully imported.

### 2) Video Setup

Add to the scene some basic actor where the rendering will occur. It needs to have the UVs properly set. It's recommended to use a Plane or Shape cube (the regular primitive cube won't work because of it's UVs): 
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_06.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_6" align="center"></img>

Scale the Actor to match the desired video screen ratio (generally 16:9).
On the bottom right corner of the Content Browser, press View Options and make sure Show Plugin Content: 
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_07.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_7" align="center"></img>

Add the BP_NexPlayer Actor located in NexPlayerUnreal Content/Blueprints to the scene: 
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_08.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_8" align="center"></img>

Select the BP_NexPlayer Actor and set the stream URL in the Details tab: 
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_09.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_9" align="center"></img>

Add one element to Target Actors in the Details tab and reference the Actor you added before: 
<img src="Source/Images/QuickStart/Step_10.png" width="80%" height="80%" alt="Quickstart_Step_10" align="center"></img>

Play the scene, and you will see your video rendering on the target Actor:
