Windows support #14

Closed peperunii closed 2 years ago

peperunii commented 2 years ago

Could this library be used in Windows? I tried to compile it - modified setup.py - but still I am having some issues with ffmpeg and with different C++ compiler errors.

Hey peperunii,

I never tested it under Windows. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. Can you pull and run the Docker container as described in the readme? In that case you don't need to build anything.

Hi Lucas, thanks for the reply. Running it inside a docker is definitely working - but in order to use it - as far as I understand - I need to move my other code also to be inside the container. That's why I am trying to build it as a regular python package which I can import it the services I am currently building. What I really need actually is the ONVIF information for each frame- the timestamp of the moment of frame capturing.

Hey peperunii, I understand. Actually, I have started packaging the project as Python package and providing it via pip. But so far I only created an Anylinux wheel, no Windows wheel. For this, I would have to build a CI pipeline first to build the Windows wheel with GitHub actions.

But I also haven't yet finished this and am currently working on something else. So, I can't make any promises regarding availability of the Python package anytime soon.
