I would like to make a plugin that monitors a player's progress in a game by analyzing the game's video feed. It would basically just do OCR on a portion of each video frame to detect which level the player is on, and export that data so other programs like LiveSplit can hook into it.
I'm assuming I need to use a filter for this, since that gives me access to the video data, but in this case I won't be transforming it.
Is it possible to access the video data in a filter without applying an effect? Or do I need to create some kind of dummy effect that gets the data I need and sends it back to the filter somehow?
Thanks!
