OpenIPC Dashboard (C++ Rewrite)

This is a C++ / Qt 6 rewrite of the OpenIPC Dashboard.

Prerequisites

• C++ Compiler: MSVC (Visual Studio 2019+) or MinGW.
• CMake: Version 3.16 or higher.
• Qt 6: Installed via the Qt Online Installer. Make sure to install the Qt 6.x component for your compiler (e.g., MSVC 2019 64-bit).

Project Structure

• src/main.cpp: Application entry point.
• src/ui/Main.qml: Main user interface (QML).
• src/backend/: C++ classes handling business logic (replacing Rust).
• CMakeLists.txt: Build configuration.

How to Build

1. Open this folder in Visual Studio Code or Qt Creator.
2. Configure the project using CMake.
   • If using VS Code, ensure the CMake Tools extension is installed.
   • Select your Kit (e.g., Visual Studio Community 2022 Release - amd64).
3. Build the project.

Command Line Build

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:/Qt/6.x.x/msvc2019_64"
cmake --build .

Features

• Low Latency Streaming: Optimized for FPV and real-time monitoring with configurable buffer modes (Zero, Balanced, Smooth).
• Hardware Acceleration: Extensive support for GPU decoding including DXVA, D3D11, CUDA, and QuickSync to minimize CPU usage.
• Protocol Control: Ability to force RTSP via TCP, UDP, or HTTP to suit different network conditions.
• Video Tools: Horizontal video mirroring for HUD or teleprompter applications.
• Modern Interface: Clean and responsive dashboard built on Qt 6 and QML.
• Customizable: Settings specifically exposed for tuning player performance.

System Requirements

Minimum

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i3 (6th Gen) / AMD Ryzen 3 or equivalent
• RAM: 4 GB
• Graphics: GPU with DirectX 11 support
• Network: 100 Mbps Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi

Recommended

• OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 or better
• RAM: 8 GB or higher
• Graphics: Dedicated NVIDIA (CUDA) or Intel (QuickSync) GPU for multi-stream hardware decoding
• Network: Gigabit Ethernet usually recommended for multiple high-bitrate streams
