codec enums values

Hi,

How do we get codec enum values?

We tried component integration samples and got enum, properties and values but not in plugin integration.

Component based samples code

foreach (Property property in item.Properties)

{

if (property.IsSettable || property.UIImportance != UIImportance.Hidden)

{

Console.WriteLine(indent + “Property:” + property.DisplayName + " = " + property.Value);

if (property.DisplayName == “Codec” && property.ValueType == “Enum”)

{

ValueTypeInfo[] valinfo = property.ValueTypeInfos;

foreach (ValueTypeInfo info in valinfo)

{

Console.WriteLine("Codec = " + info.Name + " " + info.Value + " " + info.TranslationId);

}

}

}

}

provides results as below

Codec = Off off 66055ee0-dbd8-4f16-82e6-8d0e366b678d

Codec = JPEG jpeg f98cc65b-4b3c-43c6-b59e-25003f32b9a5

Codec = H264 h264 d4ffce76-a3ef-45fe-876a-ed9121934f18

Codec = H264 Baseline Profile 3 353752f7-f1ef-49e0-9fbf-1e079cce78cc

Codec = H264 Main Profile 4 ed866bdb-e96f-401a-8232-75040ece4b50

Codec = H264 High Profile 6 95c29d43-8790-4b3d-87db-f7e21b5b5502

Where as in plugin samples

VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.Camera tmpCam = new VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.Camera(item.FQID);

VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.StreamFolder streamFolder = tmpCam.StreamFolder;

foreach (var stream in streamFolder.Streams)

{

foreach (var streamChild in stream.StreamChildItems)

{

for (int ig = 0; ig < streamChild.Properties.Keys.Count; ig++)

if(streamChild.Properties.Keys[ig].Name == “Codec”)

Console.WriteLine(streamChild.Properties.GetValue(streamChild.Properties.Keys[“codec”]));

}

}

provides results as below

What are the other codec values, so we can include or compare?

how to get codec enums in plugin integration?

You are on the right track.

Each driver / camera has its own list of supported codecs. Unfortunately this list is not shared across drivers.

The ValueTypeInfo list is the correct list of available codecs.

How do we get this from plugin integration using configAPIs?

You are using the configAPI.

we are using

VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.Camera tmpCam = new VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.Camera(item.FQID);

VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.StreamFolder streamFolder = tmpCam.StreamFolder;

foreach (var stream in streamFolder.Streams)

{

foreach (var streamChild in stream.StreamChildItems)

{

for (int ig = 0; ig < streamChild.Properties.Keys.Count; ig++)

if(streamChild.Properties.Keys[ig].Name == “Codec”)

Console.WriteLine(streamChild.Properties.GetValue(streamChild.Properties.Keys[“codec”]));

}

}

Yes, and these classes uses the ConfigurationAPI for getting and setting the values.

Try use the ConfigAPIClient to navigate the Configuration API and see what information and methods are available.

this works in component samples , how do we get this in admin plugin using plugin integration?
