Hello, team,
We are highly interested in supporting 2 cameras (2 video-streams) from a drone simultaneously. We want to see the 1st video-stream in the main window and the 2nd video-stream in a smaller subsidiary window, and to be able to switch between them (i.e. to point the 2nd video-stream to the main window and the 1st one to the subsidiary window).
WIP / Discuss: Multiple video streams
master ← tcanabrava:multiple_video_streams
opened 08:58PM - 11 Nov 19 UTC
A tiny summary of what this does:
- Breaks a lot of code, do not think that I… want to merge this, it's really a work in progress.
- [WARNING] Creates a new VideoSetting class that does not use the FactSystem (Thi is because I did not found out how use the fact system with *multiple* elements) - but code is sane and should be easy to handle. Give me pointers on how to convert this to FactSystem and I'll do.
- [WARNING] Breaks every single video control that we had. nor play, nor pause, nor record, nor pip, nor detach are working.
- Remove the old QtGstreamer implementation and uses a new GStreamer qmlsink plugin
- Uses gst_parse to create pipelines so we can remove a lot of boilerplate
- Handles 120 video streams (using a videotestsrc with a random pattern) (hard limited to 40 currently)
- Removes the Plugin for video streaming thru gtreamer: We don't need nor want this, the one thing we need is to let the developers define a pipeline that load their gstreamer plugins, we don't need to allow them to touch the manager or the video items to achieve this.
- Saves the VideoConfigurations for all the video in disk and restores them when opening the QGC.
Please, while looking on this review don't comment about the code that's broken, I know that a lot of things are broken. I want to know if this is a sane approach code-wise, to be merged in the near future (as soon as I fix the issue and clean the git history)
Thing that I still need to finish:
- Configuration on a per stream basis - it's there, I just need to plug the calls on Qml
- Rework the PIP for multiple video in mind.
- Rework Detach
- Rework Reattach
- Use a pipeline with udpsrc instead of videotestsrc

this used to work, it was passing ci and approved but was never merged.
if you are interested in this i can work as a freelancer to make it work again with the current code.
cool, reach to me in private so we can discuss.
