Interested in the ability to use a graphical interface to bmdtools. Does anyone know how to organize it just?

What the gui should do? It is one of my long term plans but I wanted to complete libbmd first.

We can use perl-tk or tcl-tk for GUI of bmdtools.

I think I would rather have used QT. perl/tcl adds a lot of dependencies? For example if anyone would make a patch for bmdtools, for windows. perl and tcl are not preinstalled, so installation is more "complicated". Using QT it would be just a statically built .exe, or a .exe with dynamic libraries shipped with it.

Also it would look like a native application in each platform/os, as QT has themes corresponding to the default theme of each os.

I'll try to get you libbmd in shape so would be easy to write some easily no matter the toolkit you have in mind =)

I'm currently wrangling bmdcapture into QtCreator for a different purpose (headless capture and playout), but once I have it set up with Qt5 and qml I would be willing to work on this if there is interest.

Sounds great, have you looked at the bmdlib project?

I have indeed - I've been looking at a few projects over the past few months, libbmd, ffmpeg's relatively new decklink device classes and bmdtools. bmdtools appears to be the most feature complete and regularly updated for my use cases, I'm only using linux machines here and I'm more used to C++ than C. But up for a challenge! @lu-zero is libbmd the better one to use in the future?
