Enums

enum pjmedia_vid_dev_hwnd_type¶

Enumeration of window handle type.

Values:

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_HWND_TYPE_NONE¶: Type none.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_HWND_TYPE_WINDOWS¶: Native window handle on Windows.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_HWND_TYPE_IOS¶: Native view on iOS.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_HWND_TYPE_ANDROID¶: Native window handle on Android.

enum pjmedia_vid_dev_wnd_flag¶

Enumeration of window flags.

Values:

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_WND_BORDER¶: Window with border.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_WND_RESIZABLE¶: Window can be resized.

enum pjmedia_vid_dev_std_index¶

Device index constants.

Values:

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEFAULT_CAPTURE_DEV¶: Constant to denote default capture device

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEFAULT_RENDER_DEV¶: Constant to denote default render device

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_INVALID_DEV¶: Constant to denote invalid device index.

enum pjmedia_vid_dev_cap¶

This enumeration identifies various video device capabilities. These video capabilities indicates what features are supported by the underlying video device implementation.

Applications get these capabilities in the pjmedia_vid_dev_info structure.

Application can also set the specific features/capabilities when opening the video stream by setting the flags member of pjmedia_vid_dev_param structure.

Once video stream is running, application can also retrieve or set some specific video capability, by using pjmedia_vid_dev_stream_get_cap() and pjmedia_vid_dev_stream_set_cap() and specifying the desired capability. The value of the capability is specified as pointer, and application needs to supply the pointer with the correct value, according to the documentation of each of the capability.

Values:

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_FORMAT¶: Support for video formats. The value of this capability is represented by pjmedia_format structure.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_INPUT_SCALE¶: Support for video input scaling

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_OUTPUT_WINDOW¶

Support for returning the native window handle of the video window. For renderer, this means the window handle of the renderer window, while for capture, this means the window handle of the native preview, only if the device supports PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_INPUT_PREVIEW capability.

The value of this capability is pointer to pjmedia_vid_dev_hwnd structure.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_OUTPUT_RESIZE¶: Support for resizing video output. This capability SHOULD be implemented by renderer, to alter the video output dimension on the fly. Value is pjmedia_rect_size.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_OUTPUT_POSITION¶: Support for setting the video window’s position. Value is pjmedia_coord specifying the window’s new coordinate.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_OUTPUT_HIDE¶: Support for setting the video output’s visibility. The value of this capability is a pj_bool_t containing boolean PJ_TRUE or PJ_FALSE.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_INPUT_PREVIEW¶

Support for native preview capability in capture devices. Value is pj_bool_t. With native preview, capture device can be instructed to show or hide a preview window showing video directly from the camera by setting this capability to PJ_TRUE or PJ_FALSE. Once the preview is started, application may use PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_OUTPUT_WINDOW capability to query the video window.

The value of this capability is a pj_bool_t containing boolean PJ_TRUE or PJ_FALSE.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_ORIENTATION¶

Support for changing video orientation. For a renderer device, changing video orientation in will potentially affect the size of render window, i.e: width and height swap. For a capture device, the video will be rotated but the size of the video frame will stay the same, so the video may be resized or stretched.

The value of this capability is pjmedia_orient.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_SWITCH¶

Support for fast switching to another device. A video stream with this capability allows replacing of its underlying device with another device, saving the user from opening a new video stream and gets a much faster and smoother switching action.

Note that even when this capability is supported by a device, it may not be able to switch to arbitrary device. Application must always check the return value of the operation to verify that switching has occurred.

This capability is currently write-only (i.e. set-only).

The value of this capability is pointer to pjmedia_vid_dev_switch_param structure.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_OUTPUT_WINDOW_FLAGS¶: Support for setting the output video window’s flags. The value of this capability is a bitmask combination of pjmedia_vid_dev_wnd_flag.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_OUTPUT_FULLSCREEN¶: Support for setting the output video window full screen.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_DEV_CAP_MAX¶: End of standard capability
