    Default Create video widget using byte array

    Hi,

    I have access to a framebuffer using SHM on Linux. I can get access to the data and I am quite sure they are valid. However, it only work at small resolution and somehow I get overscroll video. I try to use QImage and tried many combinaisons. Most wont work above 160x120. This one work with 340x240, but not above. The CPU does not seem to be the problem, my app use little. I can't use OpenGL (not supported on device)..

    What is the best way to make a video from a frame buffer?

    This is the current code:
    Qt Code:
    1. VideoWidget::VideoWidget(QWidget* parent) : QWidget(parent),m_Image(NULL) {
    2. setMinimumSize(200,200);
    3. connect(VideoModel::getInstance(),SIGNAL(frameUpdated()),this,SLOT(repaint2()));
    4. }
    5.  
    6. void VideoWidget::update() {
    7. QPainter painter(this);
    8. painter.drawImage(QRect(0,0,width(),height()),*(m_Image));
    9. painter.end();
    10. }
    11.  
    12. void VideoWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
    13. {
    14. Q_UNUSED(event)
    15. if (VideoModel::getInstance()->isPreviewing()) {
    16. update();
    17. }
    18. }
    19.  
    20. void VideoWidget::repaint2()
    21. {
    22. QSize size(VideoModel::getInstance()->getActiveResolution().width, VideoModel::getInstance()->getActiveResolution().height);
    23. if (size != minimumSize())
    24. setMinimumSize(size);
    25. //if (m_Image)
    26. // delete m_Image;
    27. m_Image = new QImage(size,QImage::Format_ARGB32);
    28. m_Image->loadFromData(VideoModel::getInstance()->getCurrentFrame(),"BMP");
    29. repaint();
    30. }

    What is the original size of your frame?

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.
