Function Documentation

int64_t ff_gen_syncpoint_search	(	AVFormatContext *	s,
		int	stream_index,
		int64_t	pos,
		int64_t	min_ts,
		int64_t	ts,
		int64_t	max_ts,
		int	flags
	)

Search for the sync point of all active streams.

This routine is not supposed to be called directly by a user application, but by demuxers.

A sync point is defined as a point in stream, such that, when decoding start from this point, the decoded output of all streams synchronizes closest to the given timestamp ts. This routine also takes timestamp limits into account. Thus, the output will synchronize no sooner than ts_min and no later than ts_max.

Parameters

stream_index	stream index for time base reference of timestamps
pos	approximate position where to start searching for key frames
min_ts	minimum allowed timestamp (position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set)
ts	target timestamp (or position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set in flags)
max_ts	maximum allowed timestamp (position, if AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE set)
flags	if AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY is set, seek to any frame, otherwise only to a keyframe. If AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE is set, search by position, not by timestamp.

Returns

-1 if no such sync point could be found, otherwise stream position (stream is repositioned to this position)

AVParserState* ff_store_parser_state

(

AVFormatContext *

s

)

Store current parser state and file position.

This function can be used by demuxers before a destructive seeking algorithm to store the parser state. Depending on the outcome of the seek, either the original state can be restored or the new state kept and the original state freed.

Note

As a side effect, the original parser state is reset, since structures are relinked to the stored state instead of being deeply-copied (for performance reasons and to keep the code simple).

Parameters

s	context from which to save state

Returns

parser state object or NULL if memory could not be allocated

Definition at line 394 of file seek.c.

void ff_restore_parser_state	(	AVFormatContext *	s,
		AVParserState *	state
	)

Restore previously saved parser state and file position.

Saved state will be invalidated and freed by this call, since internal structures will be relinked back to the stored state instead of being deeply-copied.

Parameters

s	context to which to restore state (same as used for storing state)
state	state to restore

Definition at line 444 of file seek.c.

void ff_free_parser_state	(	AVFormatContext *	s,
		AVParserState *	state
	)

Free previously saved parser state.

Parameters

s	context to which the state belongs (same as used for storing state)
state	state to free
