Hello everybody,

am I wright, that it is not possible to display a Camera Stream visually with the Python API?  
I know that it is possible to display an image with numpy by converting it. But is it even possible to do this with a stream?

I am using an UI created with PyQt and I would like to display a stream in a label in this UI (as it is possible e.g. with OpenCV and Standard Webcams).

Many thanks in advance!

BR

Julian

Hi @juli.r

this is not possible with the current release. It will be possible to use PySide2 with the upcoming release, which should not too long anymore.

Meanwhile you can use the numpy interface to copy the image to a QImage, see:
