I want to work on Camera Plugin.

Can you advice on current roadblocks, so help me work out the work required.

Saw this but not sure.
#134

Event Channel would be needed?
its getting close: #178

[pchampio]

Event Channel is about to be merged, some works still needs to be made on the flutter/engine side.
What's missing is the texture API. Once the texture API is complete #102 , we will begin the development such plugins

[pchampio]

Progress on #102 has been made.
The Texture api is in beta release (use hover run -b '@beta' to test it)

The texture_tutorial has been updated with a video example.

For a cross-platform webcam go library, https://github.com/hybridgroup/gocv is your best bet!

@joeblew99 if you want to start to work on the camera plugin, the texture tutorial with the video example is a great start!

will try to get something working

Hi, is there any update to this?

[pchampio]

@joeblew99 hasn't reported back so I don't think he has made progress on this.

As for go-flutter-desktop maintainers, it's not manageable to implement all plugins by ourselves, we believe the community should help us when it comes to implementing plug-in.

If you are interested in continuing, please check the texture_tutorial (as it is very closed to this demand) our wiki and our plugins repo to found code-samples/documentation/guide on how to implement plugins in general. We are also available on our gitter.im, where you can ask questions.

Edit:
I've update the texture_tutorial with a gif example (~80 loc).
This is the best I can do for a tutorial, it's pretty clear what needs to be done on the go-flutter side to show a stream of images.

[truongsinh]

the example above is for displaying the content I think, is there any example of getting raw data from devices/hardware?

[pchampio]

In my above comment I referenced gocv

[joeblew99]

Hey all

We are working on it along with @cloudwebrtc

It's working on Mac, iOS and Android.
Getting it working on windows and Linux will require more cgo work.

It can also do s teen capture.

Almost working in flutter web

[joeblew99]

Also check out the ion project !.this is the golang server side parts to allow video streaming and pub sub.

It's part of the webrtc pion project. Really awesome stuff

[pchampio]

Awesome, don't hesitate to submit a PR on https://github.com/go-flutter-desktop/plugins once you have something working!

@joeblew99 can I have a preview? Working on Mac is enough for me. I have a project using tflite_native for object detection, and is demonstrating how flutter and tflite can be truly cross-platform.
