Oden Quickstart

Last validated: 2026-05-05

This quickstart gets one vehicle-side Streamer online and one operator-side OdenVR session connected. The intended self-serve flow starts in the Voysys portal: the portal gives the vehicle a generated install command and gives the operator an account-specific web control page.

The first stream can use a test source, so you do not need a real camera to verify the path. For manual installer and license-key flows, see Vehicle Installation and Operator Side.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • A Voysys portal account with access to the project or evaluation setup.

  • One vehicle computer for Oden Fleet Streamer.

  • One operator computer for OdenVR.

  • Supported graphics hardware with hardware video encoding on the Streamer and hardware video decoding on the Player. NVIDIA GPUs are recommended.

  • Internet access from both machines during first setup.

For platform, driver, and package details, see Install Oden.

Steps

  1. Create or open the portal project.

    In the Voysys portal, create the project or use the project Voysys assigned to you. Add a vehicle entry if one does not already exist.

  2. Install the vehicle side.

    Copy the vehicle install command from the portal and run it on the vehicle computer. The generated command is preferred because it can carry the right product, customer binding, vehicle role, and license context.

    After installation, check the Streamer service:

    sudo systemctl status oden-streamer.service

    For manual installation, see Vehicle Installation.

  3. Install the operator side.

    Download and install OdenVR on the operator computer. Start OdenVR and sign in through the portal-backed flow when prompted.

    For manual Player license activation, see Operator Side.

  4. Open the operator controls.

    In the portal or OdenVR webview, open the operator controls assigned to your account. The page should list the vehicle once the vehicle-side Streamer is online.

  5. Connect to the vehicle.

    Select the vehicle and connect. Oden should create the fleet session and configure the Streamer-to-Player connection.

  6. Verify video.

    Use the default test source or the configured first camera. You should see live video in OdenVR. If the vehicle is online but no video appears, open the Remote Streamer stats and check bandwidth, round-trip time, and packet loss.

Manual first-stream fallback

If you are not using the portal flow, use the manual path:

Expected Success

The quickstart is complete when:

  • The vehicle appears online in the portal or operator page.

  • OdenVR connects without an account, license, or plugin error.

  • A 2D video appears in OdenVR.

  • The video updates live from the Streamer.

  • Remote Streamer stats show traffic from the Streamer to the Player.

If the Streamer does not appear online, check that the vehicle install command finished, the service is running, and the vehicle computer can reach the portal/fleet service. If the vehicle appears online but video does not update, verify the Streamer video input first with the test source, then check Remote Streamer stats for packet loss or network reachability.
