Revision history [back]

So i wanna have my camerastream automatically started and also would like to have a 1920x1080 or 1280x720 resolution. In the code the opencv frames get converted to qt images and i probably have to resize the qt image and not the opencv frames, so i dont know if the question fits in this sub but try to get all the help i can.
