Streaming Video Out

[SGaist]

Out of curiosity, why not use something that's designed for that task ? GStreamer allows to do everything you need: get the camera stream, add overlay, stream using standard protocol and if you use QtGStreamer you also have a widget or QtQuick element to visualize that.

Yes I know. But I just would like to try by myself :D.

Is using GStreamer still recommended solution for streaming out through network?
EDIT: relevant -> recommended

[SGaist]

Why wouldn't it be ?

My mistake, made post most precise.

[SGaist]

What exactly do you want to do ?

[Pietrko]

I need a simple way to send frames from camera over network, while at the same time providing real-time 30FPS camera preview in QML widget.
Simple - means as little coding as possible.
The way I'm trying to do it now is to derive C++ class from QObject with "mediaObject" property expose it as a source for VideoOutput in QML.
The C++ class would catch the frames and save them into buffer (and sent over network).

Unfortunately its impossible (afaik) using just QML, beacuse imageCapture object inside Camera does not allow to save frame into buffers (only into files).

[SGaist]

Then QtGStreamer is likely what you want.

[Pietrko]

But, would it work if I would create a class with Q_PROPERTY mediaObject - that hold QCamera instance?
And pass this class to QML videoOutput ?

[SGaist]

QCamera is a class to get video stream or images from a camera. The QML VideoOutput type is designed to render video onscreen.
