Jonas Karlman 2c23dd4ddb avcodec: Add common V4L2 Request API code
Add common helpers for supporting V4L2 Request API hwaccels.

Basic flow for initialization follow the kernel Memory-to-memory
Stateless Video Decoder Interface > Initialization [1].

In init video devices is probed and when a capable device is found it is
initialized for decoding. Codec specific CONTROLs may be set to assist
kernel driver. A supported CAPTURE format is selected. A hw frame ctx is
created and CAPTURE buffers is allocated. OUTPUT buffers and request
objects for a circular queue is also allocated.

In frame_params a buffer pool is created and configured to allocate
CAPTURE buffers.

In flush all queued OUTPUT and CAPTURE buffers is dequeued.

In uninit any pending request is flushed, also video and media device is
closed. The media device is not closed when ownership of the media_fd
has been transfered to the hwdevice.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation

The offline documentation is available in the doc/ directory.

The online documentation is available in the main website and in the wiki.
