<div class="markdown_content"><p>it would be nice if it supported the opening of a realtime stream.</p> <p>for example, if you have a wintv150 pvr card, then /dev/video0 would be an mpeg2 stream.</p> <p>currently it *sort of* works, it takes about 3-5 seconds to open the "file" (device), and I can grab frames and turn them into images.</p> <p>I suggest, either creating a new class for handling realtime streams that implements the basics, and opens the connection as persistent...</p> <p>It should add a configurable buffer size for the stream.<br /> getFrameCount and getDuration would be overridden to check the frame count and duration of the contents of the buffer.</p> <p>for accomplishing the same purpose it serves now, you could add 2 extra methods: <br /> getLastFrame(): gets the last frame received in the buffer<br /> getLastKeyFrame(): gets the last key frame received in the buffer</p> <p>in addition, I think another nice feature would be having an index member for the current position in the stream, along with rewind and fastforward type methods.</p></div>
