Displaying camera output in a window on a kivy "screen"

[PVorster11]

Hi elParaguayo,

The last issue I have is displaying a live video feed in a window on a screen managed by screen manager (kivy).

Thank you!!!

code:

from picamera import PiCamera, Color from time import sleep

camera = PiCamera()

camera.resolution = (1920,1080) camera.framerate = 30 camera.start_preview() camera.awb_mode = 'fluorescent' camera.exposure_mode = 'auto' camera.annotate_text = "1920x1080 30fr auto exposure awb-flourescent" camera.annotate_text_size = 50 camera.annotate_background = Color('black') camera.annotate_foreground = Color('white') camera.start_recording('/home/pi/darren.h264') sleep(10)

camera.capture('/home/pi/Desktop/fools.jpg')

camera.stop_recording() camera.stop_preview()

I know nothing about PiCamera and have very little experience with videos within Kivy so I may not be able to do much here.

You'd need to provide a source to the Kivy videoplayer and I don't know whether it can read the "darren.h264" file if it's being written to by the code above. The alternative would be to provide a stream address and have Kivy try to play that.

I'll do some digging, thank you, that makes a lot of sense.
