Python API for playback of .mkv files #1893

Open JJLimmm opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not a problem but rather a question on whether it is available.

Describe the solution you'd like Opening of a recorded .mkv file using the python wrapper

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context I want to open up recorded .mkv files for use together with the python wrapper in this SDK

Similar to the question asked in #1571 , but the topic was sidetracked with other unrelated questions and left unanswered. @qm13

This isn't a direct solution to your answer per se, but I have been using PyK4A for working with the Kinect DK in Python, and it has been great for me. It has the ability to read recorded sequences - see the PyK4APlayback class for more.

Thanks, i was looking at that but with my previous tests and experiments for both the PyK4A repo and another repo (PyKinectAzure), the transformed depth map converted to Depth 3D (Point cloud) map has some discrepancies in depth data as compared to retrieving it with the original SDK's APIs. Using the Original SDK python APIs to perform the transformation and calibration showed more accurate to real-life results than the other 2 repo.

So i was hoping if this original SDK has the python wrapper for the playback function as well similar to those 2 repos.
