C++ virtualcam

[shersoni610]

Hello

It seems that the code uses pybind for the python. I was wondering if it is possible to use this software directly within c++ codes? I do not know how to combine c++ codes with *.mm codes.

Thanks

Hello,

I have been using pyvirtualcam to prototype some OpenCV filters for a webcam overlay on Windows and it is working great. Thank you @letmaik for all of your hard work on this!

I would also like to migrate that to C++ for several reasons. Unfortunately, I am unable to find anything for doing this in C++ that is as easy to use as pyvirtualcam. There are some C++ examples out there for Windows, but they seem to require a lot of DirectShow/Graph knowledge. How hard would it be to implement this directly in C++ without the pybind? In my searches, it seems like there are quite a few people looking for this. Any examples or links to existing code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Did you look at the C++ code of the backends of this package? There is a clear separation between the Python binding (using pybind11) and the actual backend, which should be reusable in other C++ code.

Hello,

May I kindly request you for some help on how to use your software in C++ applications? Is there a CMakeLists.txt file that can
be used to build this software as a library?

Hello,

In order to use the software in C++, I created the following Cmakelist in native_mac_os folder. However, I get the following error:

error: ARC forbids explicit message send of 'dealloc'
[_mach_server dealloc];

can someone help?
