VideoController

touchgfx/hal/VideoController.hpp

The VideoController is an abstract interface for the video decoder. A concrete implementation will be generated by the TouchGFX Generator.

The VideoController can control multiple video streams in multiple VideoWidgets. These are recognized by their Handle.

Application code should only interact with the VideoWidget class.

See: VideoWidget

Public Functions Documentation

draw

virtual void draw	(	const Handle	handle ,		=0
		const Rect &	invalidatedArea ,		=0
		const VideoWidget &	widget		=0
		)	=0

Draw the video content.

Parameters:

handle	The stream handle.
invalidatedArea	The area of the widget that must be redrawn.
widget	Reference to the widget.

getCurrentFrameNumber

virtual uint32_t getCurrentFrameNumber	(	const Handle	handle	)

Get the current frame number.

Parameters:

handle	The stream handle.

Returns:

Return the current frame number.

getIsPlaying

virtual bool getIsPlaying	(	const Handle	handle	)

Check if the video stream is playing (not paused or stopped).

Parameters:

handle	The stream handle.

Returns:

Returns true if the video is playing.

getVideoInformation

virtual void getVideoInformation	(	const Handle	handle ,		=0
		VideoInformation *	data		=0
		)	=0

Get Video information.

Get information from the video data.

Parameters:

handle	The stream handle.
data	Pointer to VideoInformation where information should be stored.

registerVideoWidget

virtual Handle registerVideoWidget	(	VideoWidget &	widget	)

Register a VideoWidget to get a Handle.

Parameters:

widget	The VideoWidget.

Returns:

A video stream handle.

setCommand

virtual void setCommand	(	const Handle	handle ,		=0
		Command	cmd ,		=0
