◆ avcodec_default_execute()

int avcodec_default_execute ( AVCodecContext c,
int(*)(AVCodecContext *c2, void *arg2)  func,
void *  arg,

int avcodec_default_execute2 ( AVCodecContext c,
int(*)(AVCodecContext *c2, void *arg2, int, int)  func,
void *  arg,
int *  ret,
int  count 
)

◆ avcodec_fill_audio_frame()

int avcodec_fill_audio_frame ( AVFrame frame,
int  nb_channels,
enum AVSampleFormat  sample_fmt,
const uint8_t *  buf,
int  buf_size,
int  align 
)

Fill AVFrame audio data and linesize pointers.

The buffer buf must be a preallocated buffer with a size big enough to contain the specified samples amount. The filled AVFrame data pointers will point to this buffer.

AVFrame extended_data channel pointers are allocated if necessary for planar audio.

◆ avcodec_flush_buffers()

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.

◆ av_get_bits_per_sample()

int av_get_bits_per_sample ( enum AVCodecID  codec_id)

Parameters
beendianness, 0 for little, 1 for big, -1 (or anything else) for native
Returns
AV_CODEC_ID_PCM_* or AV_CODEC_ID_NONE

◆ av_get_exact_bits_per_sample()

int av_get_exact_bits_per_sample ( enum AVCodecID  codec_id)

Return codec bits per sample.

Only return non-zero if the bits per sample is exactly correct, not an approximation.

Parameters
[in]codec_idthe codec
Returns
Number of bits per sample or zero if unknown for the given codec.

int av_get_audio_frame_duration ( AVCodecContext avctx,
int  frame_bytes 
)

Return audio frame duration.

Parameters
avctxcodec context
frame_bytessize of the frame, or 0 if unknown
Returns
frame duration, in samples, if known. 0 if not able to determine.

◆ av_get_audio_frame_duration2()

int av_get_audio_frame_duration2 ( AVCodecParameters par,
int  frame_bytes 
)

This function is the same as av_get_audio_frame_duration(), except it works with AVCodecParameters instead of an AVCodecContext.

◆ av_register_bitstream_filter()

attribute_deprecated void av_register_bitstream_filter ( AVBitStreamFilter bsf)
Deprecated:
the old bitstream filtering API (using AVBitStreamFilterContext) is deprecated.

Use the new bitstream filtering API (using AVBSFContext).

◆ av_bitstream_filter_init()

attribute_deprecated AVBitStreamFilterContext* av_bitstream_filter_init ( const char *  name)
Deprecated:

uint8_t **  poutbuf,
int *  poutbuf_size,
const uint8_t *  buf,
int  buf_size,
int  keyframe 
)
Deprecated:
the old bitstream filtering API (using AVBitStreamFilterContext) is deprecated.

Use av_bsf_send_packet() and av_bsf_receive_packet() from the new bitstream filtering API (using AVBSFContext).

◆ av_bitstream_filter_close()

attribute_deprecated void av_bitstream_filter_close ( AVBitStreamFilterContext bsf)
Deprecated:
the old bitstream filtering API (using AVBitStreamFilterContext) is deprecated.

Use av_bsf_free() from the new bitstream filtering API (using AVBSFContext).

◆ av_bitstream_filter_next()

attribute_deprecated const AVBitStreamFilter* av_bitstream_filter_next ( const AVBitStreamFilter f)
Deprecated:
the old bitstream filtering API (using AVBitStreamFilterContext) is deprecated.

Use av_bsf_iterate() from the new bitstream filtering API (using AVBSFContext).

◆ av_bsf_get_by_name()

const AVBitStreamFilter* av_bsf_get_by_name ( const char *  name)
Returns
a bitstream filter with the specified name or NULL if no such bitstream filter exists.

◆ av_bsf_iterate()

const AVBitStreamFilter* av_bsf_iterate ( void **  opaque)

Iterate over all registered bitstream filters.

Parameters
opaquea pointer where libavcodec will store the iteration state. Must point to NULL to start the iteration.
Returns
the next registered bitstream filter or NULL when the iteration is finished

◆ av_bsf_next()

attribute_deprecated const AVBitStreamFilter* av_bsf_next ( void **  opaque)

◆ av_bsf_alloc()

int av_bsf_alloc ( const AVBitStreamFilter filter,
AVBSFContext **  ctx 
)

Allocate a context for a given bitstream filter.

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.
ctxa pointer into which the pointer to the newly-allocated context will be written. It must be freed with av_bsf_free() after the filtering is done.
Returns
0 on success, a negative AVERROR code on failure

◆ av_bsf_init()

int av_bsf_init ( AVBSFContext ctx)

Prepare the filter for use, after all the parameters and options have been set.

◆ av_bsf_send_packet()

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.

◆ av_bsf_receive_packet()

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.

◆ av_bsf_flush()

void av_bsf_flush ( AVBSFContext ctx)

Reset the internal bitstream filter state / flush internal buffers.

◆ av_bsf_free()

void av_bsf_free ( AVBSFContext **  ctx)

Free a bitstream filter context and everything associated with it; write NULL into the supplied pointer.

◆ av_bsf_get_class()

const AVClass* av_bsf_get_class ( void  )

Get the AVClass for AVBSFContext.

It can be used in combination with AV_OPT_SEARCH_FAKE_OBJ for examining options.

See also
av_opt_find().

◆ av_bsf_list_alloc()

AVBSFList* av_bsf_list_alloc ( void  )

Allocate empty list of bitstream filters.

The list must be later freed by av_bsf_list_free() or finalized by av_bsf_list_finalize().

Returns
Pointer to AVBSFList on success, NULL in case of failure

◆ av_bsf_list_free()

void av_bsf_list_free ( AVBSFList **  lst)

Free list of bitstream filters.

Parameters
lstPointer to pointer returned by av_bsf_list_alloc()

◆ av_bsf_list_append()

int av_bsf_list_append ( AVBSFList lst,
AVBSFContext bsf 
)

Append bitstream filter to the list of bitstream filters.

Parameters
lstList to append to
bsfFilter context to be appended
Returns
>=0 on success, negative AVERROR in case of failure

◆ av_bsf_list_append2()

int av_bsf_list_append2 ( AVBSFList lst,
const char *  bsf_name,
AVDictionary **  options 
)

Construct new bitstream filter context given it's name and options and append it to the list of bitstream filters.

Parameters
lstList to append to
bsf_nameName of the bitstream filter
optionsOptions for the bitstream filter, can be set to NULL
Returns
>=0 on success, negative AVERROR in case of failure

◆ av_bsf_list_finalize()

int av_bsf_list_finalize ( AVBSFList **  lst,
AVBSFContext **  bsf 
)

Finalize list of bitstream filters.

This function will transform AVBSFList to single AVBSFContext, so the whole chain of bitstream filters can be treated as single filter freshly allocated by av_bsf_alloc(). If the call is successful, AVBSFList structure is freed and lst will be set to NULL. In case of failure, caller is responsible for freeing the structure by av_bsf_list_free()

Parameters
lstFilter list structure to be transformed
[out]bsfPointer to be set to newly created AVBSFContext structure representing the chain of bitstream filters
Returns
>=0 on success, negative AVERROR in case of failure

◆ av_bsf_list_parse_str()

int av_bsf_list_parse_str ( const char *  str,
AVBSFContext **  bsf 
)

Parse string describing list of bitstream filters and create single AVBSFContext describing the whole chain of bitstream filters.

Resulting AVBSFContext can be treated as any other AVBSFContext freshly allocated by av_bsf_alloc().

Parameters

int av_bsf_get_null_filter ( AVBSFContext **  bsf)

Get null/pass-through bitstream filter.

Parameters
[out]bsfPointer to be set to new instance of pass-through bitstream filter
Returns

◆ av_fast_padded_malloc()

void av_fast_padded_malloc ( void *  ptr,
unsigned int *  size,
size_t  min_size 
)

Same behaviour av_fast_malloc but the buffer has additional AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE at the end which will always be 0.

In addition the whole buffer will initially and after resizes be 0-initialized so that no uninitialized data will ever appear.

◆ av_fast_padded_mallocz()

void av_fast_padded_mallocz ( void *  ptr,
unsigned int *  size,
size_t  min_size 
)

Same behaviour av_fast_padded_malloc except that buffer will always be 0-initialized after call.

◆ av_xiphlacing()

unsigned int av_xiphlacing ( unsigned char *  s,
unsigned int  v 
)

Encode extradata length to a buffer.

Used by xiph codecs.

Parameters
sbuffer to write to; must be at least (v/255+1) bytes long
vsize of extradata in bytes
Returns
number of bytes written to the buffer.

◆ av_register_hwaccel()

attribute_deprecated void av_register_hwaccel ( AVHWAccel hwaccel)

Register the hardware accelerator hwaccel.

Deprecated:
This function doesn't do anything.

◆ av_hwaccel_next()

attribute_deprecated AVHWAccel* av_hwaccel_next ( const AVHWAccel hwaccel)

If hwaccel is NULL, returns the first registered hardware accelerator, if hwaccel is non-NULL, returns the next registered hardware accelerator after hwaccel, or NULL if hwaccel is the last one.

Deprecated:
AVHWaccel structures contain no user-serviceable parts, so this function should not be used.

◆ av_lockmgr_register()

attribute_deprecated 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.
Deprecated:
This function does nothing, and always returns 0. Be sure to build with thread support to get basic thread safety.

◆ avcodec_get_type()

◆ avcodec_is_open()

int avcodec_is_open ( AVCodecContext s)
Returns
a positive value if s is open (i.e. avcodec_open2() was called on it with no corresponding avcodec_close()), 0 otherwise.

◆ av_codec_is_encoder()

int av_codec_is_encoder ( const AVCodec codec)
Returns
a non-zero number if codec is an encoder, zero otherwise

◆ av_codec_is_decoder()

int av_codec_is_decoder ( const AVCodec codec)
