Streaming ... images getting with OpenCV

[Matias Hernandez Arellano]

I'm still trying..

The project use Qt libraries, so i will use QtGstreamer to do the streaming part..

I read the Tiago's code and i see how can i copy de data of OpenCV image to a Buffer to push into an appsrc pipeline..
So i try to do that with QtGstreamer:

I create the pipeline
  QString pipeDescr = QString("appsrc name=\"buffer\" ! queue ! videparse format=14 "
                                    "width=640 height=480 framerate=25/1 "
                                    " ! videorate ! videoscale ! ffmpegcolorspace "
                                    " video/x-raw-rgb, width=640, height=480 ! decodebin ! avimux ! "
                                    "filesink location=\"app_sink_01\"");
        m_pipeline = QGst::Pipeline::create();
        m_pipeline = QGst::Parse::launch(pipeDescr).dynamicCast<QGst::Pipeline>();
        QGlib::connect(m_pipeline->bus(), "message::error", this,&Player::onBusMessage);
        m_pipeline->bus()->addSignalWatch();
        m_pipeline->setState(QGst::StatePlaying);

then i try to add the data of the images every time i query a frame
	 IplImage* frame = capture->queryFrame();
	    uchar* IMdata = (uchar*)frame->imageData;
    	const QGst::BufferPtr buffer = QGst::Buffer::create(sizeof(data)).dynamicCast<QGst::Buffer>();

But here i'm stuck .. how can i copy de data of the image (IMdata)  into a QGst::Buffer to use the the  QGst::Utils::ApplicationSource to push data into the pipeline


Am i doing this right?????

Any idea, guideline or anything will be appreciate ...

Thanks in adv
