The discussion revolves around challenges in streaming live video over sockets in C# using AForge, NetworkStream, and sockets. The user successfully sends images but struggles with live video streaming, suspecting that knowledge of each frame's size is necessary for proper display. Suggestions include adjusting the PictureBox size after the server receives the image and before displaying it, as well as using pictureBox.Update() to refresh the display. The request for code examples on GitHub highlights the need for practical solutions to the streaming issue.

Any help/links appreciated.

Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
