Auto Grant access to Mic and Camera with Qt WebEngine


I am building a home security system with RPi and WebRTC. I simply need a way to trigger a browser to open at a given URL and to auto-grant access to the Microphone and Camera. I had hoped to use the WebEngine library with PyQt but WebEngine is not supported in PyQt for RPi. So I am trying Qt itself now. Unfortunately I am not familiar with C++, so i am struggling.

The example here has 90% of what I need. The code is replicated below. I just need to tweak it to grant access to the mic and camera when it is requested. I am hoping someone can assist me with this?

#include <QApplication>
#include <QWebEngineView>

QUrl commandLineUrlArgument()
{
    const QStringList args = QCoreApplication::arguments();
    for (const QString &arg : args.mid(1)) {
        if (!arg.startsWith(QLatin1Char('-')))
            return QUrl::fromUserInput(arg);
    }
    return QUrl(QStringLiteral("https://www.qt.io"));
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWebEngineView view;
    view.setUrl(commandLineUrlArgument());
    view.resize(1024, 750);
    view.show();

    return app.exec();
}

Solution

  • I answered this question but for PyQt5: Grant access to Cam & Mic using Python for PyQt WebEngine, I will only do a C ++ translation to Python, the base is the same.

    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QUrl>
    #include <QWebEngineView>
    
    class WebEnginePage: public QWebEnginePage{
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        WebEnginePage(QObject *parent = Q_NULLPTR):QWebEnginePage(parent){
            connect(this, &WebEnginePage::featurePermissionRequested, this, &WebEnginePage::onFeaturePermissionRequested);
        }
    private Q_SLOTS:
        void onFeaturePermissionRequested(const QUrl &securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature){
    
            if(feature  == QWebEnginePage::MediaAudioCapture
                    || feature == QWebEnginePage::MediaVideoCapture
                    || feature == QWebEnginePage::MediaAudioVideoCapture)
                setFeaturePermission(securityOrigin, feature, QWebEnginePage::PermissionGrantedByUser);
            else
                setFeaturePermission(securityOrigin, feature, QWebEnginePage::PermissionDeniedByUser);
        }
    };
    
    QUrl commandLineUrlArgument()
    {
        const QStringList args = QCoreApplication::arguments();
        for (const QString &arg : args.mid(1)) {
            if (!arg.startsWith(QLatin1Char('-')))
                return QUrl::fromUserInput(arg);
        }
        return QUrl(QStringLiteral("https://www.qt.io"));
    }
    
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
        QApplication app(argc, argv);
        QWebEngineView view;
        view.setPage(new WebEnginePage);
        view.setUrl(commandLineUrlArgument());
        view.resize(1024, 750);
        view.show();
    
        return app.exec();
    }
