QML + webcam (frame grabber)?

[Aleskey78]

Hi!

What is the best approach to show live video from a webcam or any other video source, e.g.: frame grabber?
I’ve tried using Image + custom QDeclarativeImageProvider, but without success.
Inherit form QDeclarativeItem and draw frames in a paint event? Update it on timer?
Some better solutions?

It is a desktop application.

Thanks.

How about QCamera from mobility and show it in QVideoWidget?

I have not messed with a webcam in ages so please excuse me if this sounds ridiculous. If the webcam puts stuff in a file you could always just use the the QML Video Element from Qt Mobility to display it. It would be great to link your webcam into it through

Like I said though I don't know how/if this would work. Here is the documentation on the video portion of Qt Mobility. - "QML Video Element":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.1.0-beta/qml-video.html
