Access to built in video inputs -- from gtxent #17

Closed lbdroid closed 7 years ago

lbdroid commented 7 years ago

Is there a way to access the built-in Aux video input and rear view input? I believe these are handled by one of the libcameraservice.so libraries, custom to the device. Currently the rear view input is "shown" to android as a camera, but not the aux video input. second problem, is after any of the SYU apps touches the rear view camera, other apps are not able to view the video stream. Any insight on this?

@gtxent: I haven't looked at all at the video inputs, for these reasons;

1) The video inputs are low resolution max 480i, but typically (camera dependent) closer to 320i. 2) The video inputs provide RAW video, which means that the streams will have to be compressed prior to recording. That means a big hit against the CPU.

I'll leave the issue, but don't get your hopes up.

This is not going to happen. I've moved the work in a completely different direction that makes this entirely unfeasible.
