Jonas Karlman b11df48149 avcodec/v4l2request: Add common decode support for hwaccels
Add common support for decoding using the V4L2 Request API.

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

A codec hwaccel typically handle decoding as follow:

In start_frame next OUTPUT buffer and its related request object is
picked from a circular queue and any codec specific CONTROLs is prepared.

In decode_slice the slice bitstream data is appended to the OUTPUT
buffer.

In end_frame a CAPTURE buffer tied to the AVFrame is queued, it will be
used as the decoding target by the driver / hw decoder. The prepared
codec specific CONTROLs get queued as part of the request object.
Finally the request object is submitted for decoding.

For slice based hw decoders only the request for the final slice of the
frame is submitted in end_frame, remaining is submitted in decode_slice.

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.

Examples
