Detailed Description

main external API structure.

New fields can be added to the end with minor version bumps. Removal, reordering and changes to existing fields require a major version bump. You can use AVOptions (av_opt* / av_set/get*()) to access these fields from user applications. The name string for AVOptions options matches the associated command line parameter name and can be found in libavcodec/options_table.h The AVOption/command line parameter names differ in some cases from the C structure field names for historic reasons or brevity. sizeof(AVCodecContext) must not be used outside libav*.

Examples: decode_audio.c, decode_video.c, demuxing_decoding.c, encode_audio.c, encode_video.c, filtering_audio.c, filtering_video.c, hw_decode.c, muxing.c, qsvdec.c, transcode_aac.c, transcoding.c, vaapi_encode.c, and vaapi_transcode.c.

◆ codec_tag

unsigned int AVCodecContext::codec_tag

fourcc (LSB first, so "ABCD" -> ('D'<<24) + ('C'<<16) + ('B'<<8) + 'A').

This is used to work around some encoder bugs. A demuxer should set this to what is stored in the field used to identify the codec. If there are multiple such fields in a container then the demuxer should choose the one which maximizes the information about the used codec. If the codec tag field in a container is larger than 32 bits then the demuxer should remap the longer ID to 32 bits with a table or other structure. Alternatively a new extra_codec_tag + size could be added but for this a clear advantage must be demonstrated first.

encoding: Set by user, if not then the default based on codec_id will be used.
decoding: Set by user, will be converted to uppercase by libavcodec during init.

◆ time_base

AVRational AVCodecContext::time_base

This is the fundamental unit of time (in seconds) in terms of which frame timestamps are represented.

For fixed-fps content, timebase should be 1/framerate and timestamp increments should be identically 1. This often, but not always is the inverse of the frame rate or field rate for video. 1/time_base is not the average frame rate if the frame rate is not constant.

Like containers, elementary streams also can store timestamps, 1/time_base is the unit in which these timestamps are specified. As example of such codec time base see ISO/IEC 14496-2:2001(E) vop_time_increment_resolution and fixed_vop_rate (fixed_vop_rate == 0 implies that it is different from the framerate)

encoding: MUST be set by user.
decoding: the use of this field for decoding is deprecated. Use framerate instead.

Examples: demuxing_decoding.c, transcoding.c, vaapi_encode.c, and vaapi_transcode.c.

◆ ticks_per_frame

int AVCodecContext::ticks_per_frame

For some codecs, the time base is closer to the field rate than the frame rate.

Most notably, H.264 and MPEG-2 specify time_base as half of frame duration if no telecine is used ...

Set to time_base ticks per frame. Default 1, e.g., H.264/MPEG-2 set it to 2.

◆ delay

int AVCodecContext::delay

Codec delay.

Encoding: Number of frames delay there will be from the encoder input to the decoder output. (we assume the decoder matches the spec) Decoding: Number of frames delay in addition to what a standard decoder as specified in the spec would produce.

Video: Number of frames the decoded output will be delayed relative to the encoded input.

Audio: For encoding, this field is unused (see initial_padding).

For decoding, this is the number of samples the decoder needs to output before the decoder's output is valid. When seeking, you should start decoding this many samples prior to your desired seek point.

encoding: Set by libavcodec.
decoding: Set by libavcodec.

◆ width

int AVCodecContext::width

picture width / height.

Note: Those fields may not match the values of the last AVFrame output by avcodec_receive_frame() due frame reordering.

encoding: MUST be set by user.
decoding: May be set by the user before opening the decoder if known e.g. from the container. Some decoders will require the dimensions to be set by the caller. During decoding, the decoder may overwrite those values as required while parsing the data.

Examples: demuxing_decoding.c, filtering_video.c, transcoding.c, vaapi_encode.c, and vaapi_transcode.c.

◆ coded_width

int AVCodecContext::coded_width

Bitstream width / height, may be different from width/height e.g.

when the decoded frame is cropped before being output or lowres is enabled.

Note: Those field may not match the value of the last AVFrame output by avcodec_receive_frame() due frame reordering.

encoding: unused
decoding: May be set by the user before opening the decoder if known e.g. from the container. During decoding, the decoder may overwrite those values as required while parsing the data.

◆ draw_horiz_band

void(* AVCodecContext::draw_horiz_band) (struct AVCodecContext *s, const AVFrame *src, int offset[AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS], int y, int type, int height)

If non NULL, 'draw_horiz_band' is called by the libavcodec decoder to draw a horizontal band.

It improves cache usage. Not all codecs can do that. You must check the codec capabilities beforehand. When multithreading is used, it may be called from multiple threads at the same time; threads might draw different parts of the same AVFrame, or multiple AVFrames, and there is no guarantee that slices will be drawn in order. The function is also used by hardware acceleration APIs. It is called at least once during frame decoding to pass the data needed for hardware render. In that mode instead of pixel data, AVFrame points to a structure specific to the acceleration API. The application reads the structure and can change some fields to indicate progress or mark state.

encoding: unused
decoding: Set by user.
Parameters

height the height of the slice

y the y position of the slice

type 1->top field, 2->bottom field, 3->frame

offset offset into the AVFrame.data from which the slice should be read

◆ get_format

enum AVPixelFormat(* AVCodecContext::get_format) (struct AVCodecContext *s, const enum AVPixelFormat *fmt)

Callback to negotiate the pixel format.

Decoding only, may be set by the caller before avcodec_open2().

Called by some decoders to select the pixel format that will be used for the output frames. This is mainly used to set up hardware acceleration, then the provided format list contains the corresponding hwaccel pixel formats alongside the "software" one. The software pixel format may also be retrieved from sw_pix_fmt.

This callback will be called when the coded frame properties (such as resolution, pixel format, etc.) change and more than one output format is supported for those new properties. If a hardware pixel format is chosen and initialization for it fails, the callback may be called again immediately.

This callback may be called from different threads if the decoder is multi-threaded, but not from more than one thread simultaneously.

Parameters

fmt	list of formats which may be used in the current configuration, terminated by AV_PIX_FMT_NONE.

Warning: Behavior is undefined if the callback returns a value other than one of the formats in fmt or AV_PIX_FMT_NONE.

Returns: the chosen format or AV_PIX_FMT_NONE

Examples: hw_decode.c, qsvdec.c, and vaapi_transcode.c.

◆ get_buffer2

int(* AVCodecContext::get_buffer2) (struct AVCodecContext *s, AVFrame *frame, int flags)

This callback is called at the beginning of each frame to get data buffer(s) for it.

There may be one contiguous buffer for all the data or there may be a buffer per each data plane or anything in between. What this means is, you may set however many entries in buf[] you feel necessary. Each buffer must be reference-counted using the AVBuffer API (see description of buf[] below).

The following fields will be set in the frame before this callback is called:

format
width, height (video only)
sample_rate, channel_layout, nb_samples (audio only) Their values may differ from the corresponding values in AVCodecContext. This callback must use the frame values, not the codec context values, to calculate the required buffer size.

This callback must fill the following fields in the frame:

data[]
linesize[]
extended_data:
- if the data is planar audio with more than 8 channels, then this callback must allocate and fill extended_data to contain all pointers to all data planes. data[] must hold as many pointers as it can. extended_data must be allocated with av_malloc() and will be freed in av_frame_unref().
- otherwise extended_data must point to data
buf[] must contain one or more pointers to AVBufferRef structures. Each of the frame's data and extended_data pointers must be contained in these. That is, one AVBufferRef for each allocated chunk of memory, not necessarily one AVBufferRef per data[] entry. See: av_buffer_create(), av_buffer_alloc(), and av_buffer_ref().
extended_buf and nb_extended_buf must be allocated with av_malloc() by this callback and filled with the extra buffers if there are more buffers than buf[] can hold. extended_buf will be freed in av_frame_unref().

If AV_CODEC_CAP_DR1 is not set then get_buffer2() must call avcodec_default_get_buffer2() instead of providing buffers allocated by some other means.

Each data plane must be aligned to the maximum required by the target CPU.

See also: avcodec_default_get_buffer2()

Video:

If AV_GET_BUFFER_FLAG_REF is set in flags then the frame may be reused (read and/or written to if it is writable) later by libavcodec.

avcodec_align_dimensions2() should be used to find the required width and height, as they normally need to be rounded up to the next multiple of 16.

Some decoders do not support linesizes changing between frames.

If frame multithreading is used, this callback may be called from a different thread, but not from more than one at once. Does not need to be reentrant.

See also: avcodec_align_dimensions2()

Audio:

Decoders request a buffer of a particular size by setting AVFrame.nb_samples prior to calling get_buffer2(). The decoder may, however, utilize only part of the buffer by setting AVFrame.nb_samples to a smaller value in the output frame.

As a convenience, av_samples_get_buffer_size() and av_samples_fill_arrays() in libavutil may be used by custom get_buffer2() functions to find the required data size and to fill data pointers and linesize. In AVFrame.linesize, only linesize[0] may be set for audio since all planes must be the same size.

Deprecated:
the custom get_buffer2() callback should always be thread-safe.

◆ execute2

int(* AVCodecContext::execute2) (struct AVCodecContext *c, int(*func)(struct AVCodecContext *c2, void *arg, int jobnr, int threadnr), void *arg2, int *ret, int count)

The codec may call this to execute several independent things.

It will return only after finishing all tasks. The user may replace this with some multithreaded implementation, the default implementation will execute the parts serially.

Parameters

c	context passed also to func
count	the number of things to execute
arg2	argument passed unchanged to func
ret	return values of executed functions, must have space for "count" values. May be NULL.
func	function that will be called count times, with jobnr from 0 to count-1. threadnr will be in the range 0 to c->thread_count-1 < MAX_THREADS and so that no two instances of func executing at the same time will have the same threadnr.

Returns

always 0 currently, but code should handle a future improvement where when any call to func returns < 0 no further calls to func may be done and < 0 is returned.

◆ skip_alpha

int AVCodecContext::skip_alpha

Skip processing alpha if supported by codec.

Note that if the format uses pre-multiplied alpha (common with VP6, and recommended due to better video quality/compression) the image will look as if alpha-blended onto a black background. However for formats that do not use pre-multiplied alpha there might be serious artefacts (though e.g. libswscale currently assumes pre-multiplied alpha anyway).

◆ hw_frames_ctx

AVBufferRef* AVCodecContext::hw_frames_ctx

A reference to the AVHWFramesContext describing the input (for encoding) or output (decoding) frames.

The reference is set by the caller and afterwards owned (and freed) by libavcodec - it should never be read by the caller after being set.

decoding: This field should be set by the caller from the get_format() callback. The previous reference (if any) will always be unreffed by libavcodec before the get_format() call.

If the default get_buffer2() is used with a hwaccel pixel format, then this AVHWFramesContext will be used for allocating the frame buffers.
encoding: For hardware encoders configured to use a hwaccel pixel format, this field should be set by the caller to a reference to the AVHWFramesContext describing input frames. AVHWFramesContext.format must be equal to AVCodecContext.pix_fmt.

This field should be set before avcodec_open2() is called.

◆ hw_device_ctx

AVBufferRef* AVCodecContext::hw_device_ctx

A reference to the AVHWDeviceContext describing the device which will be used by a hardware encoder/decoder.

The reference is set by the caller and afterwards owned (and freed) by libavcodec.

This should be used if either the codec device does not require hardware frames or any that are used are to be allocated internally by libavcodec. If the user wishes to supply any of the frames used as encoder input or decoder output then hw_frames_ctx should be used instead. When hw_frames_ctx is set in get_format() for a decoder, this field will be ignored while decoding the associated stream segment, but may again be used on a following one after another get_format() call.

For both encoders and decoders this field should be set before avcodec_open2() is called and must not be written to thereafter.

Note that some decoders may require this field to be set initially in order to support hw_frames_ctx at all - in that case, all frames contexts used must be created on the same device.

◆ apply_cropping

int AVCodecContext::apply_cropping

Video decoding only.

Certain video codecs support cropping, meaning that only a sub-rectangle of the decoded frame is intended for display. This option controls how cropping is handled by libavcodec.

When set to 1 (the default), libavcodec will apply cropping internally. I.e. it will modify the output frame width/height fields and offset the data pointers (only by as much as possible while preserving alignment, or by the full amount if the AV_CODEC_FLAG_UNALIGNED flag is set) so that the frames output by the decoder refer only to the cropped area. The crop_* fields of the output frames will be zero.

When set to 0, the width/height fields of the output frames will be set to the coded dimensions and the crop_* fields will describe the cropping rectangle. Applying the cropping is left to the caller.

Warning: When hardware acceleration with opaque output frames is used, libavcodec is unable to apply cropping from the top/left border.

Note: when this option is set to zero, the width/height fields of the AVCodecContext and output AVFrames have different meanings. The codec context fields store display dimensions (with the coded dimensions in coded_width/height), while the frame fields store the coded dimensions (with the display dimensions being determined by the crop_* fields).

◆ get_encode_buffer

int(* AVCodecContext::get_encode_buffer) (struct AVCodecContext *s, AVPacket *pkt, int flags)

This callback is called at the beginning of each packet to get a data buffer for it.

The following field will be set in the packet before this callback is called:

size This callback must use the above value to calculate the required buffer size, which must padded by at least AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE bytes.

In some specific cases, the encoder may not use the entire buffer allocated by this callback. This will be reflected in the size value in the packet once returned by avcodec_receive_packet().

This callback must fill the following fields in the packet:

data: alignment requirements for AVPacket apply, if any. Some architectures and encoders may benefit from having aligned data.
buf: must contain a pointer to an AVBufferRef structure. The packet's data pointer must be contained in it. See: av_buffer_create(), av_buffer_alloc(), and av_buffer_ref().

If AV_CODEC_CAP_DR1 is not set then get_encode_buffer() must call avcodec_default_get_encode_buffer() instead of providing a buffer allocated by some other means.

The flags field may contain a combination of AV_GET_ENCODE_BUFFER_FLAG_ flags. They may be used for example to hint what use the buffer may get after being created. Implementations of this callback may ignore flags they don't understand. If AV_GET_ENCODE_BUFFER_FLAG_REF is set in flags then the packet may be reused (read and/or written to if it is writable) later by libavcodec.

This callback must be thread-safe, as when frame threading is used, it may be called from multiple threads simultaneously.
