Adding a video source

[alicranck]

Hi,

I'm looking at adding an NDI(https://www.newtek.com/ndi/) video source to your plugin. I would love to hear your input about what's the best way to go about it i.e. what methods to override and how to make sure I don't break your code.

Thanks!

First, please extend UAURVideoSource and implement the methods.
UAURVideoSourceTest is a good example. The important methods:

• DiscoverConfigurations - creates entries in the list of available sources in the UI: create an FAURVideoConfiguration, set the name and resolution and add it to this->Configurations
• Connect - activate this video source, a configuration from the list created in DiscoverConfigurations specifies which variant (for example which resolution) of operation is requested
• GetNextFrame(cv::Mat_<cv::Vec3b>& frame) - get the next frame and write it to the provided matrix

Finally, create a blueprint extending the class and add it to the list in ExampleDriver:
