Enumeration Type Documentation

enum AVAppToDevMessageType

Message types used by avdevice_app_to_dev_control_message().

Enumerator:

AV_APP_TO_DEV_NONE	Dummy message.
AV_APP_TO_DEV_WINDOW_SIZE	Window size change message. Message is sent to the device every time the application changes the size of the window device renders to. Message should also be sent right after window is created. data: AVDeviceRect: new window size.
AV_APP_TO_DEV_WINDOW_REPAINT	Repaint request message. Message is sent to the device when window has to be repainted. data: AVDeviceRect: area required to be repainted. NULL: whole area is required to be repainted.
AV_APP_TO_DEV_PAUSE	Request pause/play. Application requests pause/unpause playback. Mostly usable with devices that have internal buffer. By default devices are not paused. data: NULL
AV_APP_TO_DEV_PLAY
AV_APP_TO_DEV_TOGGLE_PAUSE
AV_APP_TO_DEV_SET_VOLUME	Volume control message. Set volume level. It may be device-dependent if volume is changed per stream or system wide. Per stream volume change is expected when possible. data: double: new volume with range of 0.0 - 1.0.
AV_APP_TO_DEV_MUTE	Mute control messages. Change mute state. It may be device-dependent if mute status is changed per stream or system wide. Per stream mute status change is expected when possible. data: NULL.
AV_APP_TO_DEV_UNMUTE
AV_APP_TO_DEV_TOGGLE_MUTE
AV_APP_TO_DEV_GET_VOLUME	Get volume/mute messages. Force the device to send AV_DEV_TO_APP_VOLUME_LEVEL_CHANGED or AV_DEV_TO_APP_MUTE_STATE_CHANGED command respectively. data: NULL.
AV_APP_TO_DEV_GET_MUTE

Definition at line 118 of file avdevice.h.

enum AVDevToAppMessageType

Message types used by avdevice_dev_to_app_control_message().

Enumerator:

AV_DEV_TO_APP_NONE	Dummy message.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_CREATE_WINDOW_BUFFER	Create window buffer message. Device requests to create a window buffer. Exact meaning is device- and application-dependent. Message is sent before rendering first frame and all one-shot initializations should be done here. Application is allowed to ignore preferred window buffer size. Note : Application is obligated to inform about window buffer size with AV_APP_TO_DEV_WINDOW_SIZE message. data: AVDeviceRect: preferred size of the window buffer. NULL: no preferred size of the window buffer.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_PREPARE_WINDOW_BUFFER	Prepare window buffer message. Device requests to prepare a window buffer for rendering. Exact meaning is device- and application-dependent. Message is sent before rendering of each frame. data: NULL.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_DISPLAY_WINDOW_BUFFER	Display window buffer message. Device requests to display a window buffer. Message is sent when new frame is ready to be displayed. Usually buffers need to be swapped in handler of this message. data: NULL.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_DESTROY_WINDOW_BUFFER	Destroy window buffer message. Device requests to destroy a window buffer. Message is sent when device is about to be destroyed and window buffer is not required anymore. data: NULL.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_BUFFER_OVERFLOW	Buffer fullness status messages. Device signals buffer overflow/underflow. data: NULL.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_BUFFER_UNDERFLOW
AV_DEV_TO_APP_BUFFER_READABLE	Buffer readable/writable. Device informs that buffer is readable/writable. When possible, device informs how many bytes can be read/write. Warning Device may not inform when number of bytes than can be read/write changes. data: int64_t: amount of bytes available to read/write. NULL: amount of bytes available to read/write is not known.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_BUFFER_WRITABLE
AV_DEV_TO_APP_MUTE_STATE_CHANGED	Mute state change message. Device informs that mute state has changed. data: int: 0 for not muted state, non-zero for muted state.
AV_DEV_TO_APP_VOLUME_LEVEL_CHANGED	Volume level change message. Device informs that volume level has changed. data: double: new volume with range of 0.0 - 1.0.
