In summary, the conversation is about the difficulty the speaker is having with streaming live video over a socket in c#. They have been able to take and send pictures, but are unable to stream video. They believe the issue may be related to knowing the size of each frame before displaying it in a picture box. They ask for help or links and someone suggests adjusting the size of the picture box after the server receives the image.

Hi, I have been able to take a picture and send it over a socket in c# using AForge, NetworkStream and sockets, but I am unable to stream live video over them. I keep altering my code (it's n00bish code albeit) but it won't work. I think it is because you would have to know the size of each frame server side before displaying it in a picturebox. Any help/links appreciated.

Can you post some code on github?

Can you adjust the size of the picture box after the server receives the image but before you display it?
