video streaming on python

[Alpinet]

Dear nokia expert:

I did video streaming on python using pys60, but is to slow the functions what can i do to improve the speed of process of pys60 or my N95 cellphones

Thanks for any tip I would appreciate so much

1. Access raw video interface (using OpenGL?)

2. Do image processing in C extension

3. Try to direct pointer access and avoid memory blitting in operations

4. Use hardware acceleration available in the phones

In any case, you probably need mix in some C, since Python is not designed for computational sensitive tasks and it is assumed the software designer does such tasks in C extensions.

Hello,
Can somebody help me with the video streaming code

Thanks

How much you pay?

Asking generic questions or pleding for help when you don't state what are you trying to do does not result to good answers.

Hello,
I am actually trying to do some application which should use my N82 camera and stream the video to the web.
can anyone help for trying this out

Thanks

Hi mt.jijo

To take a screenshot or record a video is easy. You can see how in the pys60 doc and searching at forum nokia. But your problems will begin if you decide to do a live streaming. You do not have access to the streaming, only to final video. Moreover, if you decide to use several images to create a video, you will not have any encoder to create an streaming from them.

So, there is a lot of interesting work to be done. Who knows Alpinet does not share his code with us ?

Maybe this can help: http://movino.org/

Hi miohtama ! Well remembered ! \o/
A long time ago I was interested in decoding the streaming sent by movino and I wrote the following (ugly) code. In fact, movino uses a compression similar to libjpeg. You will see jpeg images without tables in jpeg header. I did not studied how libjpeg is implemented and my test stopped at this point but I think it can be a good starting point for you. It is GPL3
