I want to show a h264 video stream in C# with emguCV . I send the stream from a raspberry pi with netcat , if I use netcat+vcl I can see the stream but not from the c# program (I'm new to emgucv).
NamedPipeServerStream ncatPipe = new NamedPipeServerStream(
"ncatPipe",
PipeDirection.InOut,
NamedPipeServerStream.MaxAllowedServerInstances,
PipeTransmissionMode.Message,
PipeOptions.None,
1024,
1024
);
Process ncat = new Process();
ncat.StartInfo.FileName = "CMD.exe";
ncat.StartInfo.Arguments = "/C ncat -v -l 5000 >\\\\.\\pipe\\ncatPipe 2>nul";
ncat.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
ncat.Start();
ncatPipe.WaitForConnection();
VideoCapture videoCapture = new VideoCapture("\\\\.\\pipe\\ncatPipe");
videoCapture.SetCaptureProperty(Emgu.CV.CvEnum.CapProp.FourCC, VideoWriter.Fourcc('h', '2', '6', '4'));
videoCapture.SetCaptureProperty(Emgu.CV.CvEnum.CapProp.Fps, 60);
videoCapture.SetCaptureProperty(Emgu.CV.CvEnum.CapProp.FrameHeight, 480);
videoCapture.SetCaptureProperty(Emgu.CV.CvEnum.CapProp.FrameWidth, 640);
Timer playerTimer = new Timer();
playerTimer.Interval = 1000 / 60;
playerTimer.Tick += new EventHandler((object sender1, EventArgs e1) =>
{
Bitmap captureBmp = videoCapture.QueryFrame().Bitmap;
if (captureBmp != null)
{
picture.Image = captureBmp;
}
else
{
picture.Image = null;
playerTimer.Stop();
ncatPipe.Disconnect();
ncatPipe.Dispose();
ncat.Kill();
ncat.Dispose();
videoCapture.Dispose();
}
});
playerTimer.Start();
Exception thrown: 'Emgu.CV.Util.CvException' in Emgu.CV.World.dll
[ERROR:0] global D:\\bb\\cv_x86\\build\\opencv\\modules\\videoio\\src\\cap.cpp (122) cv::VideoCapture::open VIDEOIO(CV_IMAGES): raised unknown C++ exception!
EDIT 1: Now I'm trying to use FFMPEG to get the bitmap frame from the pipe.
EDIT 2: FFMPEG works but my latency is around 4000ms.
Mencoder solution latency: 200ms~ , even less latency incorporating mplayer gpu acc. window in the form. windows Mplayer & Mencoder build: http://mplayerwin.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
(setting the fps higher on the client auto fix the latency(with Mplayer & Mencoder))
