RDK-C : RDK Integrating libcamera into PipeWire

Why libcamera in PipeWire?

• Standardized interface: Libcamera provides a unified and standardized interface for interacting with different types of camera devices. By integrating libcamera into pipewire, camera applications can use a single API to access and control camera hardware.
• Flexibility and modularity: Pipewire is designed to be a modular multimedia framework. 
• Improved performance: Libcamera is designed to provide better performance and lower latency than previous camera APIs for Linux-based systems.
• Cross-platform compatibility: Both libcamera and pipewire are open-source projects that can run on a variety of Linux-based platforms.
• Integrating libcamera into pipewire helps to simplify and streamline the process of working with camera devices on Linux-based systems.

Architecture PipeWire-libcamera.

Integration of RDKC with PipeWire-libcamera

• Implemented RMS side gstreamer pipeline with souphttpsrc plugin and appsink plugin.
• Souphttpsrc plugin is getting the encoded data from Mongoose server from 8080 port and transmitted encoded data into appsink plugin to feed the data into RMS.
• Supported ASCLI interface to configure pull stream property and to start webrtc to transmit data into RRS server through WiFi.
• Browser getting the data from RRS server and it display the received content.
