Field Documentation

◆ name

const char* AVCodec::name

Name of the codec implementation.

The name is globally unique among encoders and among decoders (but an encoder and a decoder can share the same name). This is the primary way to find a codec from the user perspective.

Definition at line 3618 of file avcodec.h.

◆ long_name

const char* AVCodec::long_name

Descriptive name for the codec, meant to be more human readable than name.

You should use the NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL() macro to define it.

Definition at line 3623 of file avcodec.h.

◆ type

enum AVMediaType AVCodec::type

Definition at line 3624 of file avcodec.h.

◆ id

enum AVCodecID AVCodec::id

Definition at line 3625 of file avcodec.h.

◆ capabilities

int AVCodec::capabilities

Codec capabilities.

see AV_CODEC_CAP_*

Examples:
decoding_encoding.c, and muxing.c.

Definition at line 3630 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by open_audio(), and video_decode_example().

◆ supported_framerates

const AVRational* AVCodec::supported_framerates

array of supported framerates, or NULL if any, array is terminated by {0,0}

Definition at line 3631 of file avcodec.h.

◆ pix_fmts

enum AVPixelFormat* AVCodec::pix_fmts

array of supported pixel formats, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by -1

Examples:
transcoding.c.

Definition at line 3632 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by open_output_file().

◆ supported_samplerates

const int* AVCodec::supported_samplerates

array of supported audio samplerates, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by 0

Examples:
decoding_encoding.c.

Definition at line 3633 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by select_sample_rate().

◆ sample_fmts

enum AVSampleFormat* AVCodec::sample_fmts

array of supported sample formats, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by -1

Examples:
decoding_encoding.c, transcode_aac.c, and transcoding.c.

Definition at line 3634 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by check_sample_fmt(), and open_output_file().

◆ channel_layouts

const uint64_t* AVCodec::channel_layouts

array of support channel layouts, or NULL if unknown. array is terminated by 0

Examples:
decoding_encoding.c.

Definition at line 3635 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by select_channel_layout().

◆ max_lowres

uint8_t AVCodec::max_lowres

maximum value for lowres supported by the decoder, no direct access, use av_codec_get_max_lowres()

Definition at line 3636 of file avcodec.h.

◆ priv_class

const AVClass* AVCodec::priv_class

AVClass for the private context.

Definition at line 3637 of file avcodec.h.

◆ profiles

const AVProfile* AVCodec::profiles

array of recognized profiles, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by {FF_PROFILE_UNKNOWN}

Definition at line 3638 of file avcodec.h.

◆ priv_data_size

int AVCodec::priv_data_size

Definition at line 3647 of file avcodec.h.

◆ next

struct AVCodec* AVCodec::next

Definition at line 3648 of file avcodec.h.

◆ init_thread_copy

int(* AVCodec::init_thread_copy) (AVCodecContext *)

If defined, called on thread contexts when they are created.

If the codec allocates writable tables in init(), re-allocate them here. priv_data will be set to a copy of the original.

Definition at line 3658 of file avcodec.h.

◆ update_thread_context

int(* AVCodec::update_thread_context) (AVCodecContext *dst, const AVCodecContext *src)

Copy necessary context variables from a previous thread context to the current one.

If not defined, the next thread will start automatically; otherwise, the codec must call ff_thread_finish_setup().

dst and src will (rarely) point to the same context, in which case memcpy should be skipped.

Definition at line 3666 of file avcodec.h.

◆ defaults

const AVCodecDefault* AVCodec::defaults

Private codec-specific defaults.

Definition at line 3672 of file avcodec.h.

◆ init_static_data

void(* AVCodec::init_static_data) (struct AVCodec *codec)

Initialize codec static data, called from avcodec_register().

Definition at line 3677 of file avcodec.h.

◆ init

int(* AVCodec::init) (AVCodecContext *)

Definition at line 3679 of file avcodec.h.

◆ encode_sub

int(* AVCodec::encode_sub) (AVCodecContext *, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size, const struct AVSubtitle *sub)

Definition at line 3680 of file avcodec.h.

◆ encode2

int(* AVCodec::encode2) (AVCodecContext *avctx, AVPacket *avpkt, const AVFrame *frame, int *got_packet_ptr)

Encode data to an AVPacket.

Parameters
avctxcodec context
avpktoutput AVPacket (may contain a user-provided buffer)
[in]frameAVFrame containing the raw data to be encoded
[out]got_packet_ptrencoder sets to 0 or 1 to indicate that a non-empty packet was returned in avpkt.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 3692 of file avcodec.h.

◆ decode

int(* AVCodec::decode) (AVCodecContext *, void *outdata, int *outdata_size, AVPacket *avpkt)

Definition at line 3694 of file avcodec.h.

◆ close

int(* AVCodec::close) (AVCodecContext *)

Definition at line 3695 of file avcodec.h.

◆ send_frame

int(* AVCodec::send_frame) (AVCodecContext *avctx, const AVFrame *frame)

Decode/encode API with decoupled packet/frame dataflow.

The API is the same as the avcodec_ prefixed APIs (avcodec_send_frame() etc.), except that:

  • never called if the codec is closed or the wrong type,
  • AVPacket parameter change side data is applied right before calling AVCodec->send_packet,
  • if AV_CODEC_CAP_DELAY is not set, drain packets or frames are never sent,
  • only one drain packet is ever passed down (until the next flush()),
  • a drain AVPacket is always NULL (no need to check for avpkt->size).

Definition at line 3707 of file avcodec.h.

◆ send_packet

int(* AVCodec::send_packet) (AVCodecContext *avctx, const AVPacket *avpkt)

Definition at line 3708 of file avcodec.h.

◆ receive_frame

int(* AVCodec::receive_frame) (AVCodecContext *avctx, AVFrame *frame)

Definition at line 3709 of file avcodec.h.

◆ receive_packet

int(* AVCodec::receive_packet) (AVCodecContext *avctx, AVPacket *avpkt)

Definition at line 3710 of file avcodec.h.

◆ flush

void(* AVCodec::flush) (AVCodecContext *)

Flush buffers.

Will be called when seeking

Definition at line 3715 of file avcodec.h.

◆ caps_internal

int AVCodec::caps_internal

Internal codec capabilities.

See FF_CODEC_CAP_* in internal.h
