VideoCapture device on Android
Dear users,
i'm successfully using my Camera on Android (native C++ OpenCV) for capturing images from my Hardware Camera.
Nevertheless I cannot read with cv::VideoCapture from a videofile on my SD card on my Android phone... the videofile I have converted to the correct format for OpenCV, nevertheless the videofile is not recognized and cannot be played.
1) I read some posts that suggest to install "FFmpeg" Codecs on the Android device - but how, and is this possible at all?
some guy from #android-dev on Freenode suggested:
2) <anonymous> stephanmg, if you want to use ffmpeg decoders, yes, you should statically link libavcodec/libavformat into your opencv library so it'll have the decoders available.
My question is: How can i read videofiles with cv::VideoCapture from a file, analogous to the case which i succesfully could manage, that is to read and process images which i captured from my hardware camera.
All the best, Stephan
