The sample pipeline

The sample pipeline reads data from an MJPEG camera and displays it using VideoView.

Sample code

var pipeline = new MediaBlocksPipeline();

var settings = new HTTPSourceSettings(new Uri("http://mjpegcamera:8080"))
{
    UserID = "username",
    UserPassword = "password"
};

var source = new HTTPSourceBlock(settings);
var videoRenderer = new VideoRendererBlock(pipeline, VideoView1);
var jpegDecoder = new JPEGDecoderBlock();

pipeline.Connect(source.Output, jpegDecoder.Input);
pipeline.Connect(jpegDecoder.Output, videoRenderer.Input);

await pipeline.StartAsync();
