AV_HWFRAME_MAP_READ 

The mapping must be readable.

AV_HWFRAME_MAP_WRITE 

The mapping must be writeable.

AV_HWFRAME_MAP_OVERWRITE 

The mapped frame will be overwritten completely in subsequent operations, so the current frame data need not be loaded.

Any values which are not overwritten are unspecified.

The mapping must be direct.

That is, there must not be any copying in the map or unmap steps. Note that performance of direct mappings may be much lower than normal memory.

◆ av_hwdevice_ctx_create()

int av_hwdevice_ctx_create ( AVBufferRef **  device_ctx,
enum AVHWDeviceType  type,
const char *  device,
AVDictionary opts,
int  flags 
)

Open a device of the specified type and create an AVHWDeviceContext for it.

This is a convenience function intended to cover the simple cases. Callers who need to fine-tune device creation/management should open the device manually and then wrap it in an AVHWDeviceContext using av_hwdevice_ctx_alloc()/av_hwdevice_ctx_init().

The returned context is already initialized and ready for use, the caller should not call av_hwdevice_ctx_init() on it. The user_opaque/free fields of the created AVHWDeviceContext are set by this function and should not be touched by the caller.

Parameters
device_ctxOn success, a reference to the newly-created device context will be written here. The reference is owned by the caller and must be released with av_buffer_unref() when no longer needed. On failure, NULL will be written to this pointer.
typeThe type of the device to create.
deviceA type-specific string identifying the device to open.
optsA dictionary of additional (type-specific) options to use in opening the device. The dictionary remains owned by the caller.
flagscurrently unused
Returns
0 on success, a negative AVERROR code on failure.

◆ av_hwdevice_ctx_create_derived()

int av_hwdevice_ctx_create_derived ( AVBufferRef **  dst_ctx,
enum AVHWDeviceType  type,
AVBufferRef src_ctx,
int  flags 
)

Create a new device of the specified type from an existing device.

If the source device is a device of the target type or was originally derived from such a device (possibly through one or more intermediate devices of other types), then this will return a reference to the existing device of the same type as is requested.

Otherwise, it will attempt to derive a new device from the given source device. If direct derivation to the new type is not implemented, it will attempt the same derivation from each ancestor of the source device in turn looking for an implemented derivation method.

Parameters
dst_ctxOn success, a reference to the newly-created AVHWDeviceContext.
typeThe type of the new device to create.
src_ctxA reference to an existing AVHWDeviceContext which will be used to create the new device.
flagsCurrently unused; should be set to zero.
Returns
Zero on success, a negative AVERROR code on failure.

int av_hwdevice_ctx_create_derived_opts ( AVBufferRef **  dst_ctx,
enum AVHWDeviceType  type,
AVBufferRef src_ctx,
AVDictionary options,
int  flags 
)

Create a new device of the specified type from an existing device.

This function performs the same action as av_hwdevice_ctx_create_derived, however, it is able to set options for the new device to be derived.

Parameters
dst_ctxOn success, a reference to the newly-created AVHWDeviceContext.
typeThe type of the new device to create.
src_ctxA reference to an existing AVHWDeviceContext which will be used to create the new device.
optionsOptions for the new device to create, same format as in av_hwdevice_ctx_create.
flagsCurrently unused; should be set to zero.
Returns
Zero on success, a negative AVERROR code on failure.

◆ av_hwframe_ctx_init()

Finalize the context before use.

This function must be called after the context is filled with all the required information and before it is attached to any frames.

Parameters

Parameters

◆ av_hwframe_transfer_data()

int av_hwframe_transfer_data ( AVFrame dst,
const AVFrame src,
int  flags 
)

Copy data to or from a hw surface.

At least one of dst/src must have an AVHWFramesContext attached.

If src has an AVHWFramesContext attached, then the format of dst (if set) must use one of the formats returned by av_hwframe_transfer_get_formats(src, AV_HWFRAME_TRANSFER_DIRECTION_FROM). If dst has an AVHWFramesContext attached, then the format of src must use one of the formats returned by av_hwframe_transfer_get_formats(dst, AV_HWFRAME_TRANSFER_DIRECTION_TO)

dst may be "clean" (i.e. with data/buf pointers unset), in which case the data buffers will be allocated by this function using av_frame_get_buffer(). If dst->format is set, then this format will be used, otherwise (when dst->format is AV_PIX_FMT_NONE) the first acceptable format will be chosen.

The two frames must have matching allocated dimensions (i.e. equal to AVHWFramesContext.width/height), since not all device types support transferring a sub-rectangle of the whole surface. The display dimensions (i.e. AVFrame.width/height) may be smaller than the allocated dimensions, but also have to be equal for both frames. When the display dimensions are smaller than the allocated dimensions, the content of the padding in the destination frame is unspecified.

Parameters
dstthe destination frame. dst is not touched on failure.
srcthe source frame.
flagscurrently unused, should be set to zero
Returns
0 on success, a negative AVERROR error code on failure.

int av_hwframe_transfer_get_formats ( AVBufferRef hwframe_ctx,
enum AVHWFrameTransferDirection  dir,

)

Get a list of possible source or target formats usable in av_hwframe_transfer_data().

Parameters
hwframe_ctxthe frame context to obtain the information for
dirthe direction of the transfer
formatsthe pointer to the output format list will be written here. The list is terminated with AV_PIX_FMT_NONE and must be freed by the caller when no longer needed using av_free(). If this function returns successfully, the format list will have at least one item (not counting the terminator). On failure, the contents of this pointer are unspecified.
flagscurrently unused, should be set to zero
Returns
0 on success, a negative AVERROR code on failure.

◆ av_hwframe_map()

int av_hwframe_map ( AVFrame dst,
const AVFrame src,
int  flags 
)

Map a hardware frame.

This has a number of different possible effects, depending on the format and origin of the src and dst frames. On input, src should be a usable frame with valid buffers and dst should be blank (typically as just created by av_frame_alloc()). src should have an associated hwframe context, and dst may optionally have a format and associated hwframe context.

If src was created by mapping a frame from the hwframe context of dst, then this function undoes the mapping - dst is replaced by a reference to the frame that src was originally mapped from.

If both src and dst have an associated hwframe context, then this function attempts to map the src frame from its hardware context to that of dst and then fill dst with appropriate data to be usable there. This will only be possible if the hwframe contexts and associated devices are compatible - given compatible devices, av_hwframe_ctx_create_derived() can be used to create a hwframe context for dst in which mapping should be possible.

If src has a hwframe context but dst does not, then the src frame is mapped to normal memory and should thereafter be usable as a normal frame. If the format is set on dst, then the mapping will attempt to create dst with that format and fail if it is not possible. If format is unset (is AV_PIX_FMT_NONE) then dst will be mapped with whatever the most appropriate format to use is (probably the sw_format of the src hwframe context).

A return value of AVERROR(ENOSYS) indicates that the mapping is not possible with the given arguments and hwframe setup, while other return values indicate that it failed somehow.

On failure, the destination frame will be left blank, except for the hw_frames_ctx/format fields thay may have been set by the caller - those will be preserved as they were.

Parameters
dstDestination frame, to contain the mapping.
srcSource frame, to be mapped.
flagsSome combination of AV_HWFRAME_MAP_* flags.
Returns
Zero on success, negative AVERROR code on failure.

enum AVPixelFormat  format,
AVBufferRef derived_device_ctx,
AVBufferRef source_frame_ctx,
int  flags 
)

Create and initialise an AVHWFramesContext as a mapping of another existing AVHWFramesContext on a different device.
