play stdin h264 stream

[natxopedreira]

Hi

Im looking for a way to render a stdin raw h264 stream in openframeworks and Rpi. Its possible to use oxOMXPlayer to play this kind o stream.

Im using this to render the stream but i need to move to oF https://bitbucket.org/befi/hello_video/src/c9c244be22cf447d76fc02820a51fb48a4e45bbb/video.c?at=default

data_len = read(STDIN_FILENO, dest, buf->nAllocLen-data_len);

instead of

data_len += fread(dest, 1, buf->nAllocLen-data_len, in);

yes you can use .h264 files (like test.h264 that is on the RPi)

Thanks for answer

Sorry i don't explain myself right.

I don't want to play a .h264 file, i want to play a raw h624 stream not a file.

Im using some like a digital video link to stream a rpicamera with 2,4 but not using tcp or udp, instead this just injecting the raw video data in the 2,4 signal (ref. https://befinitiv.wordpress.com/wifibroadcast-analog-like-transmission-of-live-video-data/#comment-632), this system uses a modified "hello_video" example on the rpi to view the stream.

Just changing this

data_len = read(STDIN_FILENO, dest, buf->nAllocLen-data_len); instead of data_len += fread(dest, 1, buf->nAllocLen-data_len, in);

I wonder if its possible to do the same in your addon because i wanted to use this stream in a of app

Thanks!!!!!

I think it would take some pretty extensive changes to OMXReader in order for it to work the way you want

If you have no need for textures or the other features of ofxOMXPlayer I would probably just incorporate video.c into your app

Thanks!

In fact i just want to render the stream in oculus, and overlay some hud, seems like i need to find another way...
