[SUGGESTION] Bring back Video Annotation #868

Open KarasuY opened 1 year ago

Please bring back the camera.annotate_text feature. It was so simple to use, especially for low grade raspberry pi's like the zero.

I'm afraid the previous implementation was based on the proprietary GPU firmware and the proprietary legacy camera stack. It really cannot be made to work like that again. Your best bets are either to do things in the newer way, or to re-enable the legacy camera stack running under Bullseye. In the former case, if you have simple test cases where the performance is poor, then please do raise them in case there's anything we can do to help.
