Parameters
framethe AVFrame frame->nb_samples must be set prior to calling the function. This function fills in frame->data, frame->extended_data, frame->linesize[0].
nb_channelschannel count
sample_fmtsample format
bufbuffer to use for frame data

void avcodec_flush_buffers ( AVCodecContext avctx)

Reset the internal decoder state / flush internal buffers.

Should be called e.g. when seeking or when switching to a different stream.

Note
when refcounted frames are not used (i.e. avctx->refcounted_frames is 0), this invalidates the frames previously returned from the decoder. When refcounted frames are used, the decoder just releases any references it might keep internally, but the caller's reference remains valid.

attribute_deprecated void av_register_bitstream_filter ( AVBitStreamFilter bsf)

The filter will be accessible to the application code through av_bitstream_filter_next() or can be directly initialized with av_bitstream_filter_init().

avcodec_register_all()

Definition at line 42 of file bitstream_filter.c.

attribute_deprecated AVBitStreamFilterContext* av_bitstream_filter_init ( const char *  name)

Create and initialize a bitstream filter context given a bitstream filter name.

The returned context must be freed with av_bitstream_filter_close().

Parameters
namethe name of the bitstream filter
Returns
a bitstream filter context if a matching filter was found and successfully initialized, NULL otherwise

Definition at line 51 of file bitstream_filter.c.

attribute_deprecated int av_bitstream_filter_filter ( AVBitStreamFilterContext bsfc,
AVCodecContext avctx,
const char *  args,
uint8_t **  poutbuf,
int poutbuf_size,
const uint8_t buf,
int  buf_size,
int  keyframe 
)

Filter bitstream.

This function filters the buffer buf with size buf_size, and places the filtered buffer in the buffer pointed to by poutbuf.

The output buffer must be freed by the caller.

Parameters
bsfcbitstream filter context created by av_bitstream_filter_init()
avctxAVCodecContext accessed by the filter, may be NULL. If specified, this must point to the encoder context of the output stream the packet is sent to.
argsarguments which specify the filter configuration, may be NULL
poutbufpointer which is updated to point to the filtered buffer
poutbuf_sizepointer which is updated to the filtered buffer size in bytes
bufbuffer containing the data to filter
buf_sizesize in bytes of buf
keyframeset to non-zero if the buffer to filter corresponds to a key-frame packet data
Returns
>= 0 in case of success, or a negative error code in case of failure

If the return value is positive, an output buffer is allocated and is available in *poutbuf, and is distinct from the input buffer.

If the return value is 0, the output buffer is not allocated and should be considered identical to the input buffer, or in case *poutbuf was set it points to the input buffer (not necessarily to its starting address). A special case is if *poutbuf was set to NULL and *poutbuf_size was set to 0, which indicates the packet should be dropped.

Definition at line 97 of file bitstream_filter.c.

attribute_deprecated void av_bitstream_filter_close ( AVBitStreamFilterContext bsf)

Release bitstream filter context.

Parameters
bsfthe bitstream filter context created with av_bitstream_filter_init(), can be NULL

Definition at line 83 of file bitstream_filter.c.

attribute_deprecated AVBitStreamFilter* av_bitstream_filter_next ( const AVBitStreamFilter f)

If f is NULL, return the first registered bitstream filter, if f is non-NULL, return the next registered bitstream filter after f, or NULL if f is the last one.

This function can be used to iterate over all registered bitstream filters.

Definition at line 31 of file bitstream_filter.c.

const AVBitStreamFilter* av_bsf_get_by_name ( const char *  name)
Returns

int av_bsf_alloc ( const AVBitStreamFilter filter,
AVBSFContext **  ctx

The caller must fill in the context parameters as described in the documentation and then call av_bsf_init() before sending any data to the filter.

Parameters
filterthe filter for which to allocate an instance.

int av_bsf_send_packet ( AVBSFContext ctx,
AVPacket pkt 
)

Submit a packet for filtering.

After sending each packet, the filter must be completely drained by calling av_bsf_receive_packet() repeatedly until it returns AVERROR(EAGAIN) or AVERROR_EOF.

Parameters
pktthe packet to filter. The bitstream filter will take ownership of the packet and reset the contents of pkt. pkt is not touched if an error occurs. This parameter may be NULL, which signals the end of the stream (i.e. no more packets will be sent). That will cause the filter to output any packets it may have buffered internally.
Returns
0 on success, a negative AVERROR on error.

int av_bsf_receive_packet ( AVBSFContext ctx,
AVPacket pkt 
)

Retrieve a filtered packet.

Parameters
[out]pktthis struct will be filled with the contents of the filtered packet. It is owned by the caller and must be freed using av_packet_unref() when it is no longer needed. This parameter should be "clean" (i.e. freshly allocated with av_packet_alloc() or unreffed with av_packet_unref()) when this function is called. If this function returns successfully, the contents of pkt will be completely overwritten by the returned data. On failure, pkt is not touched.
Returns
0 on success. AVERROR(EAGAIN) if more packets need to be sent to the filter (using av_bsf_send_packet()) to get more output. AVERROR_EOF if there will be no further output from the filter. Another negative AVERROR value if an error occurs.
Note
one input packet may result in several output packets, so after sending a packet with av_bsf_send_packet(), this function needs to be called repeatedly until it stops returning 0. It is also possible for a filter to output fewer packets than were sent to it, so this function may return AVERROR(EAGAIN) immediately after a successful av_bsf_send_packet() call.

[in]featurestring containing the name of the missing feature
[in]want_sampleindicates if samples are wanted which exhibit this feature. If want_sample is non-zero, additional verbiage will be added to the log message which tells the user how to report samples to the development mailing list.

Parameters
[in]avca pointer to an arbitrary struct of which the first field is a pointer to an AVClass struct
[in]msgstring containing an optional message, or NULL if no message
Deprecated:
Use avpriv_request_sample() instead.
attribute_deprecated void void av_register_hwaccel ( AVHWAccel hwaccel)

Referenced by find_hwaccel().

int av_lockmgr_register ( int(*)(void **mutex, enum AVLockOp op cb)

Register a user provided lock manager supporting the operations specified by AVLockOp.

The "mutex" argument to the function points to a (void *) where the lockmgr should store/get a pointer to a user allocated mutex. It is NULL upon AV_LOCK_CREATE and equal to the value left by the last call for all other ops. If the lock manager is unable to perform the op then it should leave the mutex in the same state as when it was called and return a non-zero value. However, when called with AV_LOCK_DESTROY the mutex will always be assumed to have been successfully destroyed. If av_lockmgr_register succeeds it will return a non-negative value, if it fails it will return a negative value and destroy all mutex and unregister all callbacks. av_lockmgr_register is not thread-safe, it must be called from a single thread before any calls which make use of locking are used.

Parameters
cbUser defined callback. av_lockmgr_register invokes calls to this callback and the previously registered callback. The callback will be used to create more than one mutex each of which must be backed by its own underlying locking mechanism (i.e. do not use a single static object to implement your lock manager). If cb is set to NULL the lockmgr will be unregistered.
