I wrote QTVsPlayer because after years of search I didn't find anything for Linux, normaly with Windows or Mac dll, QtVsPlayer should be able to compile under Windows and Mac. For happy users, QtVsPlayer need almost feedback, translator, and so on.

QtVsPlayer for Hikvision.

Read local video files of Hikvision devices and display blue, green and red vectors. This is the end of an full network backup solution in combination with HikNetExtractor.

[Rules]
*.debug=true
qt.*.debug=false
qt.qpa.xcb.xcberror.warning=false
qt.qpa.events=false
qt.qpa.input.events=false
