Bottleneck for Full HD (1920x1080)

[kevinpl07]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone had experience in reading a webcam stream with cv2 in 1920x1080 and broadcasting it in the same resolution. When trying, the FPS are horrible for me.

Did anyone experience the same?
What could be the bottleneck?

I know that SnapCamera is able to do that, so I was wondering what is the fundamental difference between that and pyvirtualcam.

EDIT: I'm using the OBS backend btw.

Thanks in advance and kind regards
Kev

Actually, I just found out that instantiating cv2.VideoCapture with the cv2.CAP_DSHOW was my problem. For some reason it made it slower.
