Phonon High-level Capture API
Abstract
The goal of this project is to enable Phonon applications to access and display input devices, like webcams. The Phonon code-base is well designed and flexible, and apparently no major modifications are needed to the current API. The ease of use for the Phonon application developer is a priority. Features implemented in Phonon will be implemented in the Phonon-VLC back-end in parallel. Various device classes should be supported.
Information
The exam session lasts here most of June, so I won't be able to work at full capacity during this time (I hope I can achieve 50%-75% of the July work time).
If extra time remains, I will work on improving the overall quality of Phonon.
Timeline
The following timeline may be a bit optimistic, but I will try to respect it. It will be revised during the summer if neccessary. By revised I mean adding smaller tasks, not removing tasks or delaying.
| Date | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| May 10 - May 24 | In progress | Setup development environment, test things, play with the code |
| May 24 - June 15 | Not started | Setup MediaSource to handle capture devices, implement in Phonon-VLC |
| June 15 - June 25 | Not started | Link video and audio capture devices in AVCapture |
| June 25 - July 12 | Not started | Test, improve, simplify the classes implemented previously |
| July 12 - July 25 | Not started | Improve Phonon-VLC - document code, implement some lacking API |
| July 25 - August 16 | Not started | Implement the capture API in other backends |
