gstreamer videosink in qt5 - eglfs

[woutervh]

Hello,

I'm moving an application we currently have on an intel-platform in QT4 to QT5 on imx6.

Previously, it was running on top of X11, so I used the gst_is_video_overlay_prapare_window_handle_message callback to set a window handle.

But now I want to move to eglfs platform. What videosink should I use? And how to position/embed it in my application? Anyone has an example?

Grt,

Wouter

Hello, I know how to play video on the IMX6, I just don't know how to embed it in qt5 widgets on eglfs...

Hi,

The common solution for this kind of applications is to display the video on a separate frame buffer and the QT application on another and use the color key to display the video. This is usually more efficient than trying to render the video directly from a QT application.
