Thanks Chris. Stephen is for the idea of finding alternative methods of
monitoring if confidence monitoring does not work for us. For now we've
de-proritised it - for now :)
 
Thanks

No, this was a beta feature of 1.0 that we did not pursue for 1.1 (or
1.2) and are hoping to address in 1.3.  We focused on adding support
for webcams and other video devices instead.  There are jiras to
refactor and get confidence monitoring going though.

No, but I can suggest that if you want to hack something special into
the gstreamer command before we record you could potentially do that
with a custom video producer.  I would not recommend this because
making sure it works properly on your hardware would take some time,
but you *should* be able to do live confidence monitoring by changing
the gstreamer device line to include a tee similar to the one Armin
did
here:

It would require beefy capture agents hardware wise, or a huge
reduction in framerate, but I think it would be doable.  Time
investment would be large.
