Opportunity convert one frame from bytes

[kadimon]

Is it possible to use this library to convert a single keyframe from bytes?

Hi @kadimon

Yes, it does.
Did you try the samples ?

[kadimon]

I have not found an example of creating a packet of bytes in samples. I am currently experiencing some hardware compatibility issues when trying to run code from a decoder sample. It is great that the ability to decode bytes of keyframes is available. @RomanArzumanyan if you have a sample code that would be cool.

You can e. g. run samples in Google Colab notebook with T4 runtime type.

That contradicts the issue description. I was under impression that you need to decode a single key frame.
If you don't have compressed packet with the key frame, you have to create it first.
Any suitable framework will do. VALI, OpenCV, PyAV, you name it.
Encoding sample isn't written yet, but you can reference PyNvEncoder class unit test, it's quite small and simple:

VALI/tests/test_PyNvEncoder.py

Line 55 in 1862c35

def test_encode_all_surfaces(self):

Please note that VALI can only take files as input. You can mmap encoded packet, but it has to have the URL.
That is done to keep PyDecoder class API manageable. Otherwise it will have to return variety of status codes for all sorts of corner cases (like when a single packet isn't enough to decode something meaningful).
