Hello , I'm trying to use your API for my python code, but I don't understand how to access it exactly. #78

Hi, currently, we test only with C/C++ code. We have a CLI application in the source code, which uses the APIs implemented in the library. Adding API for python code is something we plan to do in the future.

Hi @brahimfarhat, thank you for your submission! In the future, we are planning to provide VCA as a Python library.

Could you provide us with your use case or a code snippet so we might find a solution with the current state of the project? 😀

Hi, Thank you for your answer. I will try to use through the CLI for the mean time. I hope in the future we can get API for python. Thanks!

Hi, something you could also do inside of a Python script is to use it with the os library.

For example to execute VCA you could do something similar to os.system('ffmpeg-i input_file.mp4 -f yuv4mpegpipe - | path/to/vca --y4m --input stdin') inside of Python for now.

I am closing this issue for now. Hope I could help you with the current solution.
