Integrate QAbstractVideoSurface API.
This introduces a QAbstractVideoSurface interface for implementing arbitrary
video outputs, and a QVideoFrame type. Also included is the
QVideoSurfaceFormat class which is used to configure the input to a video
surface, and the QAbstractVideoBuffer class which allows QVideoFrames
to be constructed from non-native frame types.

This is a separate class to VideoWidget as both + QAbstractVideoSurface and QWidget inherit QObject. + + In addition to the functions from QAbstractVideoSurface, VideoWidgetSurface + has functions for determining the video display rectangle, and painting + the video. + + \section1 VideoWidgetSurface Class Implementation + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidgetsurface.cpp 0 + + From the supportedPixelFormats() function we return a list of pixel formats + the surface can paint. The order of the list hints at which formats are + preferred by the surface. Assuming a 32-bit RGB backbuffer, we'd expect + that a 32-bit RGB type with no alpha to be fastest to paint so + QVideoFrame::Image_RGB32 is first in the list. + + Since we don't support rendering using any special frame handles we don't + return any pixel formats if handleType is not + QAbstractVideoBuffer::NoHandle. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidgetsurface.cpp 1 + + In isFormatSupported() we test if the frame type of a surface format maps + to a valid QImage format, that the frame size is not empty, and the handle + type is QAbstractVideoBuffer::NoHandle. Note that the + QAbstractVideoSurface implementation of isFormatSupported() will verify + that the list of supported pixel formats returned by + \c supportedPixelFormats(format.handleType()) contains the pixel format and + that the size is not empty so a reimplementation wasn't strictly necessary + in this case. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidgetsurface.cpp 2 + + To start our surface we'll extract the image format and size from the + selected video format and save it for use in the paint() function. If the + image format, or size are invalid then we'll set an error and return false. + Otherwise we'll save the format and confirm the surface has been started, + by calling QAbstractVideoSurface::start(). Finally since the video size may + have changed we'll trigger an update of the widget, and video geometry. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidgetsurface.cpp 5 + + The updateVideoRect() function calculates the region within the widget the + video occupies. The \l {QVideoSurfaceFormat::sizeHint()}{size hint} of the + video format gives a suggested size for the video calculated from the + \l {QVideoSurfaceFormat::viewport()}{viewport} and + \l {QVideoSurfaceFormat::pixelAspectRatio()}{pixel aspect ratio}. If the + suggested size fits within the widget then we create a new rect of that + size in the center of the widget. Otherwise we shrink the size maintaining + the aspect ratio so that it does fit. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidgetsurface.cpp 4 + + We can't paint from outside a paint event, so when a new frame is received + in present() we save a reference to it and force an immediate repaint of + the video region. We retain the saved reference to the frame after the + repaint so that the widget can be repainted between frame changes if + necessary. + + If the format of the frame doesn't match the surface format we can't paint + it or very likely any future frames. So we set an + \l {QAbstractVideoSurface::UnsupportedFormatError}{UnsupportedFormatError} + on our surface and stop it immediately. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidgetsurface.cpp 6 + + The paint() function is called by the video widget to paint the current + video frame. Before we draw the frame first we'll check the format for + the scan line direction and if the scan lines are arranged from bottom to + top we'll flip the painter so the frame isn't drawn upside down. Then + using the image format information saved in the start() function we'll + construct a new QImage from the current video frame, and draw it to the + the widget. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidgetsurface.cpp 3 + + When the surface is stopped we need to release the current frame and + invalidate the video region. Then we confirm the surface has been + stopped by calling QAbstractVideoSurface::stop() which sets the started + state to false and finally we update so the video widget so paints over + the last frame. + + \section1 VideoWidget Class Definition + + The VideoWidget class uses the VideoWidgetSurface class to implement a + video widget. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidget.h 0 + + The VideoWidget QWidget implementation is minimal with just the sizeHint(), + paintEvent(), and resizeEvent() functions in addition to the constructor, + destructor and an instance of VideoWidgetSurface. + + \section1 VideoWidget Class Implementation + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidget.cpp 0 + + In the VideoWidget constructor we set some flags to speed up re-paints a + little. Setting the Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground flag and disabling automatic + background fills will stop Qt from a painting a background that'll be + completely obscured by the video. The Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen flag will + allow us to paint to the screen instead of the back buffer where supported. + + Next we set the background color to black, so that any borders around the + video are filled in black rather the default background color. + + Finally we construct an instance of the VideoWidgetSurface class. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidget.cpp 1 + + In the destructor we simply delete the VideoWidgetSurface instance. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidget.cpp 2 + + We get the size hint for the widget from the video format of the surface + which is calculated from viewport and pixel aspect ratio of the video + format. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidget.cpp 3 + + When the video widget receives a paint event we first check if the surface + is started, if not then we simply fill the widget with the background + color. If it is then we draw a border around the video region clipped + by the paint region, before calling paint on the video surface to draw the + current frame. + + \snippet examples/video/videowidget/videowidget.cpp 4 + + The resizeEvent() function is reimplemented to trigger an update of the + video region when the widget is resized. +*/ diff --git a/doc/src/getting-started/examples.qdoc b/doc/src/getting-started/examples.qdoc index 253a4e4..b0d6bf6 100644 --- a/doc/src/getting-started/examples.qdoc +++ b/doc/src/getting-started/examples.qdoc @@ -796,6 +796,13 @@ \o \l{multimedia/audio/audioinput}{Audio Input} \endlist + \section1 Video Output + + \list + \o \l{video/videowidget}{Video Widget}\raisedaster + \o \l{video/videographicsitem}{Video Graphics Item} + \endlist + \section1 Phonon The Phonon Multimedia Framework brings multimedia support to Qt applications. diff --git a/doc/src/images/video-videographicsitem.png b/doc/src/images/video-videographicsitem.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e333c54 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/src/images/video-videographicsitem.png diff --git a/doc/src/images/video-videowidget.png b/doc/src/images/video-videowidget.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a3c7bcb --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/src/images/video-videowidget.png |
