In-App Video Player View #11

Open scoronado12 opened 3 years ago

scoronado12 commented 3 years ago

The application currently uses some old school unistd.h os system calls to launch MPV Media Player passing in the stream URL as an argument.

In order to drop this as a dependency, the following must be done:

Review QT5 Video Player View Widgets (one of them should be the universally supported widget)
Have the means to select the desired quality of the stream as offered by the HDHomeRun HTTP API
Resize the QT UI Scene in QT Designer so that a video player will not look out of place
Lastly, make sure that the program can continue to build on both Ubuntu and Arch Linux

Being less reliant on unistd.h can definitely help me target other platforms that don't use these libraries.
