32 * I/O and Muxing/Demuxing Library
34 * Libavformat (lavf) is a library for dealing with various media container
35 * formats. Its main two purposes are demuxing - i.e. splitting a media file
36 * into component streams, and the reverse process of muxing - writing supplied
37 * data in a specified container format. It also has an @ref lavf_io
38 * "I/O module" which supports a number of protocols for accessing the data (e.g.
39 * file, tcp, http and others). Before using lavf, you need to call
40 * av_register_all() to register all compiled muxers, demuxers and protocols.
41 * Unless you are absolutely sure you won't use libavformat's network
42 * capabilities, you should also call avformat_network_init().
44 * A supported input format is described by an AVInputFormat struct, conversely
45 * an output format is described by AVOutputFormat. You can iterate over all
46 * registered input/output formats using the av_iformat_next() /
47 * av_oformat_next() functions. The protocols layer is not part of the public
48 * API, so you can only get the names of supported protocols with the
49 * avio_enum_protocols() function.
51 * Main lavf structure used for both muxing and demuxing is AVFormatContext,
52 * which exports all information about the file being read or written. As with
53 * most Libavformat structures, its size is not part of public ABI, so it cannot be
54 * allocated on stack or directly with av_malloc(). To create an
55 * AVFormatContext, use avformat_alloc_context() (some functions, like
56 * avformat_open_input() might do that for you).
58 * Most importantly an AVFormatContext contains:
59 * @li the @ref AVFormatContext.iformat "input" or @ref AVFormatContext.oformat
60 * "output" format. It is either autodetected or set by user for input;
61 * always set by user for output.
62 * @li an @ref AVFormatContext.streams "array" of AVStreams, which describe all
63 * elementary streams stored in the file. AVStreams are typically referred to
64 * using their index in this array.
65 * @li an @ref AVFormatContext.pb "I/O context". It is either opened by lavf or
66 * set by user for input, always set by user for output (unless you are dealing
67 * with an AVFMT_NOFILE format).
69 * @section lavf_options Passing options to (de)muxers
70 * It is possible to configure lavf muxers and demuxers using the @ref avoptions
71 * mechanism. Generic (format-independent) libavformat options are provided by
72 * AVFormatContext, they can be examined from a user program by calling
73 * av_opt_next() / av_opt_find() on an allocated AVFormatContext (or its AVClass
74 * from avformat_get_class()). Private (format-specific) options are provided by
75 * AVFormatContext.priv_data if and only if AVInputFormat.priv_class /
76 * AVOutputFormat.priv_class of the corresponding format struct is non-NULL.
77 * Further options may be provided by the @ref AVFormatContext.pb "I/O context",
78 * if its AVClass is non-NULL, and the protocols layer. See the discussion on
79 * nesting in @ref avoptions documentation to learn how to access those.
82 * URL strings in libavformat are made of a scheme/protocol, a ':', and a
83 * scheme specific string. URLs without a scheme and ':' used for local files
84 * are supported but deprecated. "file:" should be used for local files.
86 * It is important that the scheme string is not taken from untrusted
87 * sources without checks.
89 * Note that some schemes/protocols are quite powerful, allowing access to
90 * both local and remote files, parts of them, concatenations of them, local
91 * audio and video devices and so on.
95 * @defgroup lavf_decoding Demuxing
97 * Demuxers read a media file and split it into chunks of data (@em packets). A
98 * @ref AVPacket "packet" contains one or more encoded frames which belongs to a
99 * single elementary stream. In the lavf API this process is represented by the
100 * avformat_open_input() function for opening a file, av_read_frame() for
101 * reading a single packet and finally avformat_close_input(), which does the
104 * @section lavf_decoding_open Opening a media file
105 * The minimum information required to open a file is its URL, which
106 * is passed to avformat_open_input(), as in the following code:
108 * const char *url = "file:in.mp3";
109 * AVFormatContext *s = NULL;
110 * int ret = avformat_open_input(&s, url, NULL, NULL);
114 * The above code attempts to allocate an AVFormatContext, open the
115 * specified file (autodetecting the format) and read the header, exporting the
116 * information stored there into s. Some formats do not have a header or do not
117 * store enough information there, so it is recommended that you call the
118 * avformat_find_stream_info() function which tries to read and decode a few
119 * frames to find missing information.
121 * In some cases you might want to preallocate an AVFormatContext yourself with
122 * avformat_alloc_context() and do some tweaking on it before passing it to
123 * avformat_open_input(). One such case is when you want to use custom functions
124 * for reading input data instead of lavf internal I/O layer.
125 * To do that, create your own AVIOContext with avio_alloc_context(), passing
126 * your reading callbacks to it. Then set the @em pb field of your
127 * AVFormatContext to newly created AVIOContext.
129 * Since the format of the opened file is in general not known until after
130 * avformat_open_input() has returned, it is not possible to set demuxer private
131 * options on a preallocated context. Instead, the options should be passed to
132 * avformat_open_input() wrapped in an AVDictionary:
134 * AVDictionary *options = NULL;
135 * av_dict_set(&options, "video_size", "640x480", 0);
136 * av_dict_set(&options, "pixel_format", "rgb24", 0);
138 * if (avformat_open_input(&s, url, NULL, &options) < 0)
140 * av_dict_free(&options);
142 * This code passes the private options 'video_size' and 'pixel_format' to the
143 * demuxer. They would be necessary for e.g. the rawvideo demuxer, since it
144 * cannot know how to interpret raw video data otherwise. If the format turns
145 * out to be something different than raw video, those options will not be
146 * recognized by the demuxer and therefore will not be applied. Such unrecognized
147 * options are then returned in the options dictionary (recognized options are
148 * consumed). The calling program can handle such unrecognized options as it
151 * AVDictionaryEntry *e;
152 * if (e = av_dict_get(options, "", NULL, AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX)) {
153 * fprintf(stderr, "Option %s not recognized by the demuxer.\n", e->key);
158 * After you have finished reading the file, you must close it with
159 * avformat_close_input(). It will free everything associated with the file.
161 * @section lavf_decoding_read Reading from an opened file
162 * Reading data from an opened AVFormatContext is done by repeatedly calling
163 * av_read_frame() on it. Each call, if successful, will return an AVPacket
164 * containing encoded data for one AVStream, identified by
165 * AVPacket.stream_index. This packet may be passed straight into the libavcodec
166 * decoding functions avcodec_send_packet() or avcodec_decode_subtitle2() if the
167 * caller wishes to decode the data.
169 * AVPacket.pts, AVPacket.dts and AVPacket.duration timing information will be
170 * set if known. They may also be unset (i.e. AV_NOPTS_VALUE for
171 * pts/dts, 0 for duration) if the stream does not provide them. The timing
172 * information will be in AVStream.time_base units, i.e. it has to be
173 * multiplied by the timebase to convert them to seconds.
175 * If AVPacket.buf is set on the returned packet, then the packet is
176 * allocated dynamically and the user may keep it indefinitely.
177 * Otherwise, if AVPacket.buf is NULL, the packet data is backed by a
178 * static storage somewhere inside the demuxer and the packet is only valid
179 * until the next av_read_frame() call or closing the file. If the caller
180 * requires a longer lifetime, av_dup_packet() will make an av_malloc()ed copy
182 * In both cases, the packet must be freed with av_packet_unref() when it is no
185 * @section lavf_decoding_seek Seeking
188 * @defgroup lavf_encoding Muxing
190 * Muxers take encoded data in the form of @ref AVPacket "AVPackets" and write
191 * it into files or other output bytestreams in the specified container format.
193 * The main API functions for muxing are avformat_write_header() for writing the
194 * file header, av_write_frame() / av_interleaved_write_frame() for writing the
195 * packets and av_write_trailer() for finalizing the file.
197 * At the beginning of the muxing process, the caller must first call
198 * avformat_alloc_context() to create a muxing context. The caller then sets up
199 * the muxer by filling the various fields in this context:
201 * - The @ref AVFormatContext.oformat "oformat" field must be set to select the
202 * muxer that will be used.
203 * - Unless the format is of the AVFMT_NOFILE type, the @ref AVFormatContext.pb
204 * "pb" field must be set to an opened IO context, either returned from
205 * avio_open2() or a custom one.
206 * - Unless the format is of the AVFMT_NOSTREAMS type, at least one stream must
207 * be created with the avformat_new_stream() function. The caller should fill
208 * the @ref AVStream.codecpar "stream codec parameters" information, such as the
209 * codec @ref AVCodecParameters.codec_type "type", @ref AVCodecParameters.codec_id
210 * "id" and other parameters (e.g. width / height, the pixel or sample format,
211 * etc.) as known. The @ref AVStream.time_base "stream timebase" should
212 * be set to the timebase that the caller desires to use for this stream (note
213 * that the timebase actually used by the muxer can be different, as will be
215 * - It is advised to manually initialize only the relevant fields in
216 * AVCodecParameters, rather than using @ref avcodec_parameters_copy() during
217 * remuxing: there is no guarantee that the codec context values remain valid
218 * for both input and output format contexts.
219 * - The caller may fill in additional information, such as @ref
220 * AVFormatContext.metadata "global" or @ref AVStream.metadata "per-stream"
221 * metadata, @ref AVFormatContext.chapters "chapters", @ref
222 * AVFormatContext.programs "programs", etc. as described in the
223 * AVFormatContext documentation. Whether such information will actually be
224 * stored in the output depends on what the container format and the muxer
227 * When the muxing context is fully set up, the caller must call
228 * avformat_write_header() to initialize the muxer internals and write the file
229 * header. Whether anything actually is written to the IO context at this step
230 * depends on the muxer, but this function must always be called. Any muxer
231 * private options must be passed in the options parameter to this function.
233 * The data is then sent to the muxer by repeatedly calling av_write_frame() or
234 * av_interleaved_write_frame() (consult those functions' documentation for
235 * discussion on the difference between them; only one of them may be used with
236 * a single muxing context, they should not be mixed). Do note that the timing
237 * information on the packets sent to the muxer must be in the corresponding
238 * AVStream's timebase. That timebase is set by the muxer (in the
239 * avformat_write_header() step) and may be different from the timebase
240 * requested by the caller.
242 * Once all the data has been written, the caller must call av_write_trailer()
243 * to flush any buffered packets and finalize the output file, then close the IO
244 * context (if any) and finally free the muxing context with
245 * avformat_free_context().
248 * @defgroup lavf_io I/O Read/Write
250 * @section lavf_io_dirlist Directory listing
251 * The directory listing API makes it possible to list files on remote servers.
253 * Some of possible use cases:
254 * - an "open file" dialog to choose files from a remote location,
255 * - a recursive media finder providing a player with an ability to play all
256 * files from a given directory.
258 * @subsection lavf_io_dirlist_open Opening a directory
259 * At first, a directory needs to be opened by calling avio_open_dir()
260 * supplied with a URL and, optionally, ::AVDictionary containing
261 * protocol-specific parameters. The function returns zero or positive
262 * integer and allocates AVIODirContext on success.
265 * AVIODirContext *ctx = NULL;
266 * if (avio_open_dir(&ctx, "smb://example.com/some_dir", NULL) < 0) {
267 * fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open directory.\n");
272 * This code tries to open a sample directory using smb protocol without
273 * any additional parameters.
275 * @subsection lavf_io_dirlist_read Reading entries
276 * Each directory's entry (i.e. file, another directory, anything else
277 * within ::AVIODirEntryType) is represented by AVIODirEntry.
278 * Reading consecutive entries from an opened AVIODirContext is done by
279 * repeatedly calling avio_read_dir() on it. Each call returns zero or
280 * positive integer if successful. Reading can be stopped right after the
281 * NULL entry has been read -- it means there are no entries left to be
282 * read. The following code reads all entries from a directory associated
283 * with ctx and prints their names to standard output.
285 * AVIODirEntry *entry = NULL;
287 * if (avio_read_dir(ctx, &entry) < 0) {
288 * fprintf(stderr, "Cannot list directory.\n");
293 * printf("%s\n", entry->name);
294 * avio_free_directory_entry(&entry);

332 * @defgroup metadata_api Public Metadata API
335 * The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client
336 * application when demuxing. Conversely it allows a client application to
337 * set metadata when muxing.
339 * Metadata is exported or set as pairs of key/value strings in the 'metadata'
340 * fields of the AVFormatContext, AVStream, AVChapter and AVProgram structs
341 * using the @ref lavu_dict "AVDictionary" API. Like all strings in FFmpeg,
342 * metadata is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Note that metadata
343 * exported by demuxers isn't checked to be valid UTF-8 in most cases.
345 * Important concepts to keep in mind:
346 * - Keys are unique; there can never be 2 tags with the same key. This is
347 * also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce
348 * several keys that are literally different but semantically identical.
349 * E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be
350 * placed in the same tag.
351 * - Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags. If you
352 * want to store, e.g., the email address of the child of producer Alice
353 * and actor Bob, that could have key=alice_and_bobs_childs_email_address.
354 * - Several modifiers can be applied to the tag name. This is done by
355 * appending a dash character ('-') and the modifier name in the order
356 * they appear in the list below -- e.g. foo-eng-sort, not foo-sort-eng.
357 * - language -- a tag whose value is localized for a particular language
358 * is appended with the ISO 639-2/B 3-letter language code.
359 * For example: Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
360 * The original/default language is in the unqualified "Author" tag.
361 * A demuxer should set a default if it sets any translated tag.
362 * - sorting -- a modified version of a tag that should be used for
363 * sorting will have '-sort' appended. E.g. artist="The Beatles",
364 * artist-sort="Beatles, The".
365 * - Some protocols and demuxers support metadata updates. After a successful
366 * call to av_read_packet(), AVFormatContext.event_flags or AVStream.event_flags
367 * will be updated to indicate if metadata changed. In order to detect metadata
368 * changes on a stream, you need to loop through all streams in the AVFormatContext
369 * and check their individual event_flags.
371 * - Demuxers attempt to export metadata in a generic format, however tags
372 * with no generic equivalents are left as they are stored in the container.
373 * Follows a list of generic tag names:
376 album -- name of the set this work belongs to
377 album_artist -- main creator of the set/album, if different from artist.
378 e.g. "Various Artists" for compilation albums.
379 artist -- main creator of the work
380 comment -- any additional description of the file.
381 composer -- who composed the work, if different from artist.
382 copyright -- name of copyright holder.
383 creation_time-- date when the file was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
384 date -- date when the work was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
385 disc -- number of a subset, e.g. disc in a multi-disc collection.
386 encoder -- name/settings of the software/hardware that produced the file.
387 encoded_by -- person/group who created the file.
388 filename -- original name of the file.
389 genre -- <self-evident>.
390 language -- main language in which the work is performed, preferably
391 in ISO 639-2 format. Multiple languages can be specified by
392 separating them with commas.
393 performer -- artist who performed the work, if different from artist.
394 E.g for "Also sprach Zarathustra", artist would be "Richard
395 Strauss" and performer "London Philharmonic Orchestra".
396 publisher -- name of the label/publisher.
397 service_name -- name of the service in broadcasting (channel name).
398 service_provider -- name of the service provider in broadcasting.
399 title -- name of the work.
400 track -- number of this work in the set, can be in form current/total.
401 variant_bitrate -- the total bitrate of the bitrate variant that the current stream is part of
404 * Look in the examples section for an application example how to use the Metadata API.
