how to open computer camera in interface in qml for python (PySide6)

[Abdullah.S]

I need help about how to open my computer's camera in my interface. Actually I know how to open it by using PyQt5 but now I need to learn how to do that by Qt Creator. I searched all the forums but I found nothing, please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Qt Creator is an IDE it does not open any camera.

If you are thinking about QtQuick, there's the Camera item for that.

@SGaist I am sorry, I wanted to mean QtQuick. Can you give an example of how to use camera item in my interface. I do not know if I should put it on a label or rectangle . I would be very grateful if you could give an example.

[SGaist]

There's an example in the Camera item documentation.

@SGaist thank you but at example it says that we must import QtMultimedia but I cannot import it as a Qt 6.0.2 and PySide6 user. what should I do ?

Upgrade to Qt 6.2.*

[Abdullah.S]

@jsulm I do not know how to upgrade it should I reinstall Qt creator or should I use maintanenceTool and add component. Can you tell me what should I do. thank you

How did you originally installed PySide6 ?

[Abdullah.S]

@SGaist I wrote "pip3 install PySide6" on terminal

[Abdullah.S]

@SGaist I imported QtMultiMedia but still I am not able to open my computer's camera I want to see myself on my interface can you tell me how to do that because I could not find enough information. please tell me how can I do that by using main.py and main.qml. thanks

[SGaist]

Did you already follow the basic tutorial for QML and PySide6 ?

[Abdullah.S]

@SGaist yes, really what should I do ?

[SGaist]

If that part is working then use the example provided in the Camera type documentation.
