void ff_thread_await_progress ( AVFrame f,
int  progress,
int  field 
)

Wait for earlier decoding threads to finish reference pictures.

Call this before accessing some part of a picture, with a given value for progress, and it will return after the responsible decoding thread calls ff_thread_report_progress() with the same or higher value for progress.

Parameters:
fThe picture being referenced.
progressValue, in arbitrary units, to wait for.
fieldThe field being referenced, for field-picture codecs. 0 for top field or frame pictures, 1 for bottom field.

int ff_thread_decode_frame ( AVCodecContext avctx,
AVFrame picture,
int *  got_picture_ptr,
AVPacket avpkt 
)

Submit a new frame to a decoding thread.

Returns the next available frame in picture. *got_picture_ptr will be 0 if none is available. The return value on success is the size of the consumed packet for compatiblity with avcodec_decode_video2(). This means the decoder has to consume the full packet.

Parameters are the same as avcodec_decode_video2().

Definition at line 600 of file pthread.c.

Referenced by avcodec_decode_video2().

If the codec defines update_thread_context(), call this when they are ready for the next thread to start decoding the next frame.

After calling it, do not change any variables read by the update_thread_context() method, or call ff_thread_get_buffer().

Parameters:
avctxThe context.

Wait for decoding threads to finish and reset internal state.

Called by avcodec_flush_buffers().

Parameters:
avctxThe context.

int ff_thread_get_buffer ( AVCodecContext avctx,
AVFrame f 
)

Wrapper around get_buffer() for frame-multithreaded codecs.

Call this function instead of avctx->get_buffer(f). Cannot be called after the codec has called ff_thread_finish_setup().

Parameters:
avctxThe current context.
fThe frame to write into.

int ff_thread_init ( AVCodecContext avctx)

Definition at line 1042 of file pthread.c.

Referenced by avcodec_open2().

Wrapper around release_buffer() frame-for multithreaded codecs.

Call this function instead of avctx->release_buffer(f). The AVFrame will be copied and the actual release_buffer() call will be performed later. The contents of data pointed to by the AVFrame should not be changed until ff_thread_get_buffer() is called on it.

Parameters:
avctxThe current context.
fThe picture being released.

void ff_thread_report_progress ( AVFrame f,
int  progress,
int  field 
)

Notify later decoding threads when part of their reference picture is ready.

Call this when some part of the picture is finished decoding. Later calls with lower values of progress have no effect.

Parameters:
fThe picture being decoded.
progressValue, in arbitrary units, of how much of the picture has decoded.
fieldThe field being decoded, for field-picture codecs. 0 for top field or frame pictures, 1 for bottom field.

) [static]

Update the next thread's AVCodecContext with values from the reference thread's context.

dstThe destination context.
srcThe source context.
for_user0 if the destination is a codec thread, 1 if the destination is the user's thread

static int update_context_from_user ( AVCodecContext dst,

Update the next thread's AVCodecContext with values set by the user.

Parameters:
dstThe destination context.
srcThe source context.
Returns:
0 on success, negative error code on failure

static void validate_thread_parameters ( AVCodecContext avctx) [static]

Set the threading algorithms used.

Threading requires more than one thread. Frame threading requires entire frames to be passed to the codec, and introduces extra decoding delay, so is incompatible with low_delay.

Parameters:
avctxThe context.
