/** \page page_tutorial5 Tutorial - Part 5: Capturing video frames
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\ref page_tutorial4 | \ref page_tutorial "Index" | \ref page_tutorial6
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this tutorial we show how to use a stream to capture a
 | 
						|
stream of video frames.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Even though we are now working with a different media type and
 | 
						|
we are capturing instead of playback, you will see that this
 | 
						|
example is very similar to \ref page_tutorial4.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Let's take a look at the code before we break it down:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
#include <spa/param/video/format-utils.h>
 | 
						|
#include <spa/debug/types.h>
 | 
						|
#include <spa/param/video/type-info.h>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include <pipewire/pipewire.h>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
struct data {
 | 
						|
	struct pw_main_loop *loop;
 | 
						|
	struct pw_stream *stream;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	struct spa_video_info format;
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static void on_process(void *userdata)
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
	struct data *data = userdata;
 | 
						|
	struct pw_buffer *b;
 | 
						|
	struct spa_buffer *buf;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if ((b = pw_stream_dequeue_buffer(data->stream)) == NULL) {
 | 
						|
		pw_log_warn("out of buffers: %m");
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	buf = b->buffer;
 | 
						|
	if (buf->datas[0].data == NULL)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/** copy frame data to screen */
 | 
						|
	printf("got a frame of size %d\n", buf->datas[0].chunk->size);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	pw_stream_queue_buffer(data->stream, b);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static void on_param_changed(void *userdata, uint32_t id, const struct spa_pod *param)
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
	struct data *data = userdata;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if (param == NULL || id != SPA_PARAM_Format)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if (spa_format_parse(param,
 | 
						|
			&data->format.media_type,
 | 
						|
			&data->format.media_subtype) < 0)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if (data->format.media_type != SPA_MEDIA_TYPE_video ||
 | 
						|
	    data->format.media_subtype != SPA_MEDIA_SUBTYPE_raw)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if (spa_format_video_raw_parse(param, &data->format.info.raw) < 0)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	printf("got video format:\n");
 | 
						|
	printf("  format: %d (%s)\n", data->format.info.raw.format,
 | 
						|
			spa_debug_type_find_name(spa_type_video_format,
 | 
						|
				data->format.info.raw.format));
 | 
						|
	printf("  size: %dx%d\n", data->format.info.raw.size.width,
 | 
						|
			data->format.info.raw.size.height);
 | 
						|
	printf("  framerate: %d/%d\n", data->format.info.raw.framerate.num,
 | 
						|
			data->format.info.raw.framerate.denom);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/** prepare to render video of this size */
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static const struct pw_stream_events stream_events = {

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 | 
						|
{

	pw_main_loop_destroy(data.loop);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	return 0;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Save as tutorial5.c and compile with:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    gcc -Wall tutorial5.c -o tutorial5 -lm $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libpipewire-0.3)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Most of the application is structured like \ref page_tutorial4.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We create a stream object with different properties to make it a Camera
 | 
						|
Video Capture stream.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
	data.stream = pw_stream_new_simple(
 | 
						|
			pw_main_loop_get_loop(data.loop),
 | 
						|
			"video-capture",
 | 
						|
			pw_properties_new(
 | 
						|
				PW_KEY_MEDIA_TYPE, "Video",
 | 
						|
				PW_KEY_MEDIA_CATEGORY, "Capture",
 | 
						|
				PW_KEY_MEDIA_ROLE, "Camera",
 | 
						|
				NULL),
 | 
						|
			&stream_events,
 | 
						|
			&data);
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In addition to the `process` event, we are also going to listen to a new event,
 | 
						|
`param_changed`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
static const struct pw_stream_events stream_events = {
 | 
						|
	PW_VERSION_STREAM_EVENTS,
 | 
						|
	.param_changed = on_param_changed,
 | 
						|
	.process = on_process,
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Because we capture a stream of a wide range of different
 | 
						|
video formats and resolutions, we have to describe our accepted formats in
 | 
						|
a different way:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
	const struct spa_pod *params[1];
 | 
						|
	uint8_t buffer[1024];
 | 
						|
	struct spa_pod_builder b = SPA_POD_BUILDER_INIT(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	params[0] = spa_pod_builder_add_object(&b,
 | 
						|
		SPA_TYPE_OBJECT_Format, SPA_PARAM_EnumFormat,
 | 
						|
		SPA_FORMAT_mediaType,       SPA_POD_Id(SPA_MEDIA_TYPE_video),
 | 
						|
		SPA_FORMAT_mediaSubtype,    SPA_POD_Id(SPA_MEDIA_SUBTYPE_raw),
 | 
						|
		SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_format,    SPA_POD_CHOICE_ENUM_Id(7,
 | 
						|
						SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGB,
 | 
						|
						SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGB,
 | 
						|
						SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA,
 | 
						|
						SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBx,
 | 
						|
						SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_BGRx,
 | 
						|
						SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_YUY2,
 | 
						|
						SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_I420),
 | 
						|
		SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_size,      SPA_POD_CHOICE_RANGE_Rectangle(
 | 
						|
						&SPA_RECTANGLE(320, 240),
 | 
						|
						&SPA_RECTANGLE(1, 1),
 | 
						|
						&SPA_RECTANGLE(4096, 4096)),
 | 
						|
		SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_framerate, SPA_POD_CHOICE_RANGE_Fraction(
 | 
						|
						&SPA_FRACTION(25, 1),
 | 
						|
						&SPA_FRACTION(0, 1),
 | 
						|
						&SPA_FRACTION(1000, 1)));
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is using a `struct spa_pod_builder` to make a `struct spa_pod *` object
 | 
						|
in the buffer array on the stack. The parameter is of type `SPA_PARAM_EnumFormat`
 | 
						|
which means that it enumerates the possible formats for this stream.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this example we use the builder to create some `CHOICE` entries for
 | 
						|
the format properties.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We have an enumeration of formats, we need to first give the amount of enumerations
 | 
						|
that follow, then the default (preferred) value, followed by alternatives in order
 | 
						|
of preference:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
	SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_format,    SPA_POD_CHOICE_ENUM_Id(7,
 | 
						|
					SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGB,	/* default */
 | 
						|
					SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGB,	/* alternative 1 */
 | 
						|
					SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBA,	/* alternative 2 */
 | 
						|
					SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_RGBx,	/* .. etc.. */
 | 
						|
					SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_BGRx,
 | 
						|
					SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_YUY2,
 | 
						|
					SPA_VIDEO_FORMAT_I420),
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We also have a `RANGE` of values for the size. We need to give a default (preferred)
 | 
						|
size and then a min and max value:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
	SPA_FORMAT_VIDEO_size,      SPA_POD_CHOICE_RANGE_Rectangle(
 | 
						|
					&SPA_RECTANGLE(320, 240),	/* default */
 | 
						|
					&SPA_RECTANGLE(1, 1),		/* min */
 | 
						|
					&SPA_RECTANGLE(4096, 4096)),	/* max */
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We have something similar for the framerate.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that there are other video parameters that we don't specify here. This
 | 
						|
means that we don't have any restrictions for their values.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See \ref page_spa_pod for more information about how to make these
 | 
						|
POD objects.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now we're ready to connect the stream and run the main loop:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
	pw_stream_connect(data.stream,
 | 
						|
			  PW_DIRECTION_INPUT,
 | 
						|
			  argc > 1 ? (uint32_t)atoi(argv[1]) : PW_ID_ANY,
 | 
						|
			  PW_STREAM_FLAG_AUTOCONNECT |
 | 
						|
			  PW_STREAM_FLAG_MAP_BUFFERS,
 | 
						|
			  params, 1);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	pw_main_loop_run(data.loop);
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To connect we specify that we have a `PW_DIRECTION_INPUT` stream. `PW_ID_ANY`
 | 
						|
means that we are ok with connecting to any producer. We also allow the user
 | 
						|
to pass an optional target id.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We're setting the `PW_STREAM_FLAG_AUTOCONNECT` flag to make an automatic
 | 
						|
connection to a suitable camera and `PW_STREAM_FLAG_MAP_BUFFERS` to let the
 | 
						|
stream mmap the data for us.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And last we pass the extra parameters for our stream. Here we only have the
 | 
						|
allowed formats (`SPA_PARAM_EnumFormat`).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Running the mainloop will start the connection and negotiation process.
 | 
						|
First our `param_changed` event will be called with the format that was
 | 
						|
negotiated between our stream and the camera. This is always something that
 | 
						|
is compatible with what we enumerated in the EnumFormat param when we
 | 
						|
connected.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Let's take a look at how we can parse the format in the `param_changed`
 | 
						|
event:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
static void on_param_changed(void *userdata, uint32_t id, const struct spa_pod *param)
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
	struct data *data = userdata;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if (param == NULL || id != SPA_PARAM_Format)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First check if there is a param. A NULL param means that it is cleared. The id
 | 
						|
of the param tells you what param it is. We are only interested in Format
 | 
						|
param (`SPA_PARAM_Format`).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We can parse the media type and subtype as below and ensure that it is
 | 
						|
of the right type. In our example this will always be true but when your
 | 
						|
EnumFormat contains different media types or subtypes, this is how you can
 | 
						|
parse them:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
	if (spa_format_parse(param,
 | 
						|
			&data->format.media_type,
 | 
						|
			&data->format.media_subtype) < 0)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if (data->format.media_type != SPA_MEDIA_TYPE_video ||
 | 
						|
	    data->format.media_subtype != SPA_MEDIA_SUBTYPE_raw)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For the `video/raw` media type/subtype there is a utility function to
 | 
						|
parse out the values into a `struct spa_video_info`. This makes it easier
 | 
						|
to deal with.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
	if (spa_format_video_raw_parse(param, &data->format.info.raw) < 0)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	printf("got video format:\n");
 | 
						|
	printf("  format: %d (%s)\n", data->format.info.raw.format,
 | 
						|
			spa_debug_type_find_name(spa_type_video_format,
 | 
						|
				data->format.info.raw.format));
 | 
						|
	printf("  size: %dx%d\n", data->format.info.raw.size.width,
 | 
						|
			data->format.info.raw.size.height);
 | 
						|
	printf("  framerate: %d/%d\n", data->format.info.raw.framerate.num,
 | 
						|
			data->format.info.raw.framerate.denom);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/** prepare to render video of this size */
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this example we dump the video size and parameters but in a real playback
 | 
						|
or capture application you might want to set up the screen or encoder to
 | 
						|
deal with the format.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
After negotiation, the process function is called for each new frame. Check out
 | 
						|
\ref page_tutorial4 for another example.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\code{.c}
 | 
						|
static void on_process(void *userdata)
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
	struct data *data = userdata;
 | 
						|
	struct pw_buffer *b;
 | 
						|
	struct spa_buffer *buf;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	if ((b = pw_stream_dequeue_buffer(data->stream)) == NULL) {
 | 
						|
		pw_log_warn("out of buffers: %m");
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	buf = b->buffer;
 | 
						|
	if (buf->datas[0].data == NULL)
 | 
						|
		return;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/** copy frame data to screen */
 | 
						|
	printf("got a frame of size %d\n", buf->datas[0].chunk->size);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	pw_stream_queue_buffer(data->stream, b);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
\endcode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In a real playback application, one would do something with the data, like
 | 
						|
copy it to the screen or encode it into a file.
