I am creating a program to play videos and then process them. I am able to play the videos with QMediaPlayer. How do I access specific frames as images or something similar. My end goal would be to format the video into a 4-d tensor of size [Num of frames, width_of_video, height_of_video, channels].
Here is the code that loads my video.:
self.clear_layout(self.vlayout)
videoItem = QVideoWidget()
self.mediaPlayer = QMediaPlayer(None, QMediaPlayer.VideoSurface)
self.mediaPlayer.durationChanged.connect(self.update_duration)
self.mediaPlayer.positionChanged.connect(self.update_slider_position)
self.vlayout.addWidget(videoItem)
self.mediaPlayer.setVideoOutput(videoItem)
local = QUrl.fromLocalFile(self.video_paths)
media = QMediaContent(local)
self.mediaPlayer.setMedia(media)
self.play_video()
Here is a working example that I converted to Python from the C++ version available in this question: How to save a frame using QMediaPlayer?
