VL.CEF

Set of nodes to render websites in VL. Based on the excellent library CEF (Chrome Version 145.0.7632.160) and the .NET bindings CefGlue

Try it with vvvv, the visual live-programming environment for .NET
Download: http://vvvv.org

Using the library

In order to use this library with VL you have to install the nuget that is available via nuget.org. For information on how to use nugets with VL, see Managing Nugets in the VL documentation. As described there you go to the commandline and then type:

nuget install VL.CEF.Stride

and/or

nuget install VL.CEF.Skia

Troubleshooting

No output at all

This is probably because your PC has multiple GPUs. There are two ways to work around this issue:

  1. On the WebBrowser/WebLayer/WebRenderer node configure to show the optional "Shared Texture Enabled" input and deactivate it
    or
  2. Tell the chromium process to run on the same GPU that vvvv is running on:
  • vvvv: Quad menu → Manage NuGets → Show Installed
  • Navigate to VL.CEF.x.y.z\renderer and Shift+Rightclick "VL.CEF.Renderer.exe" → Copy as Path
  • Windows Graphics Settings: System → Display → Graphics (as explained here: assigning GPU preference to a program)
  • Add an app → Browser: Here you paste the path you copied to the clipboard earlier
  • Locate the added entry and under options choose the same as vvvv.exe has assigned. Most likely "High Performance"

Videos not playing

This is probably because by default CEF is not including proprietary audio and video codecs! For details, see here and here. If you have licensing for those codecs sorted and need help compiling a build including proprietary codecs, don't hesitate to get in touch via devvvvs@vvvv.org.

VL.MCP.HDE

vvvv gamma editor extension for AI-assisted patching. Hosts the MCP bridge inside vvvv: Bridge (localhost:7123, always on) — exposes the live session to any MCP client (VS Code + Kilo, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.): documents, compile errors with element mapping, the live node registry (~19k nodes with exact pins + real types), and build_patch (one-call subgraph building, verified against the running instance). Alt+C — Chat: launches Open WebUI as an embedded browser panel, pre-connected to the full MCP tool set (incl. build_patch). Requires uv (https://astral.sh/uv). Pairs with the vvvv-mcp dotnet tool. Experimental preview — breaking changes expected.
