How to draw rectangle on QgraphicsView playing video?

[mit_cruze]

I want to draw a rectangle on graphics-view. Graphics-View is playing video. Video stream is live. Its not from storage or database.

Please help.

Hi,

You should give more details about what you are using to display the video.
What did you try ? How did it fail ?

What's that MediaPlayer class ?

[mit_cruze]

Mediaplayer is instance of Player.

[SGaist]

And what is Player ?

[mit_cruze]

atually i used SDL2 and ffmpeg lib with STL for Player.

[mit_cruze]

you have a any idea about how to draw rectangle on live Streaming???

That's the kind of "small details" that you should mentioned from start. Your combo might just make thing pretty hard to do. I don't know how your Player class is working so I can't comment on the feasibility of an overlay like you are trying to implement.
