fun main() = application {
program {
val videoPlayer = VideoPlayerFFMPEG.fromFile("data/video.mp4")
videoPlayer.play()
extend {
drawer.clear(ColorRGBa.BLACK)
videoPlayer.draw(drawer)
}

}
Looping a video
// Loop: restart when reaching the end
videoPlayer.ended.listen {
videoPlayer.restart()
}
extend {
videoPlayer.draw(drawer)
}
Video from camera devices
The VideoPlayerFFMPEG class can be used to get and display video data from camera devices. To open a camera device you use the fromDevice() method. When this method is called without any arguments it attempts to open the default camera device.
VideoPlayerFFMPEG has minimal device listing capabilities. The device names of available input devices can be listed using VideoPlayerFFMPEG.listDeviceNames.

Examples
fun main() = application {
program {
val videoPlayer = VideoPlayerFFMPEG.fromDevice()
videoPlayer.play()
extend {
drawer.clear(ColorRGBa.BLACK)
videoPlayer.draw(drawer)
}
}
}
Processing video
Video playback can be combined with render targets and filters.
In the following example the video player output is blurred before presenting it on the screen.
fun main() = application {
program {
val videoPlayer = VideoPlayerFFMPEG.fromFile("data/video.mp4")
val blur = BoxBlur()
val renderTarget = renderTarget(width, height) {
colorBuffer()
}
videoPlayer.play()
extend {
drawer.clear(ColorRGBa.BLACK)
// -- draw the video on the render target
drawer.withTarget(renderTarget) {
videoPlayer.draw(drawer)
}
// -- apply a blur on the render target's color attachment
blur.apply(renderTarget.colorBuffer(0), renderTarget.colorBuffer(0))
// -- draw the blurred color attachment
drawer.image(renderTarget.colorBuffer(0))
}
}
}
