Examples

The VideoReader class is very easy to use, just pass the source of the video stream to the class constructor and then use the get() method to get frames until the video stream ends

from xvideos import VideoReader

reader = VideoReader(source='./test.mp4')

while True:
    flag, batch = reader.get()
    if not flag:
        break
    ... # do something
