Getting an Image Buffer from VideoOutput/Camera

[mynameisjohn]

Hey All,

As per this bug report (https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-38942) I seem to be stuck using QML for my Camera accesses. I need to get the frames from the Camera as a QVideoFrame (or some such thing), but it seems as though the VideoOutput class goes straight to the screen.

I understand that I can use the Shader Effects to process the images, but I'm wondering if its possible to send the VideoOutput frames being sourced from my Camera to somewhere else where I can process them on my own terms.

Is this possible?
