Wrap uxplay around a graphic environment

thiccaxe commented 2 months ago

You could customize the gstreamer arguments and see if you can pipe that into your program.

cmake is used for dependencies. see the three CMakeLists.txt files.

what exactly do you want do? give uxplay a gui front end? replace gstreamer as the renderer? both?

Give uxplay a gui front end

fduncanh commented 2 months ago

I held off on doing that that because right now, uxplay works on all sorts of systems , from linux to macos to *BSD to windows to Raspberry Pi Lite. Certainly an option to build a gui front end could be good, but the choice should be cross-platform

On Linux there are gtk or qt as gui possibilities.

But Uxplay doesn't accept any input (except from the client) after it starts, so its not clear that the gui would do more than "prettify" things
