27 * Main libavformat public API header
31 * @defgroup libavf 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 * @defgroup lavf_decoding Demuxing
71 * Demuxers read a media file and split it into chunks of data (@em packets). A
72 * @ref AVPacket "packet" contains one or more frames which belong a single
73 * elementary stream. In lavf API this process is represented by the
74 * avformat_open_input() function for opening a file, av_read_frame() for
75 * reading a single packet and finally avformat_close_input(), which does the
78 * @section lavf_decoding_open Opening a media file
79 * The minimum information required to open a file is its URL or filename, which
80 * is passed to avformat_open_input(), as in the following code:
82 * const char *url = "in.mp3";
83 * AVFormatContext *s = NULL;
84 * int ret = avformat_open_input(&s, url, NULL, NULL);
88 * The above code attempts to allocate an AVFormatContext, open the
89 * specified file (autodetecting the format) and read the header, exporting the
90 * information stored there into s. Some formats do not have a header or do not
91 * store enough information there, so it is recommended that you call the
92 * avformat_find_stream_info() function which tries to read and decode a few
93 * frames to find missing information.
95 * In some cases you might want to preallocate an AVFormatContext yourself with
96 * avformat_alloc_context() and do some tweaking on it before passing it to
97 * avformat_open_input(). One such case is when you want to use custom functions
98 * for reading input data instead of lavf internal I/O layer.
99 * To do that, create your own AVIOContext with avio_alloc_context(), passing
100 * your reading callbacks to it. Then set the @em pb field of your
101 * AVFormatContext to newly created AVIOContext.
103 * After you have finished reading the file, you must close it with
104 * avformat_close_input(). It will free everything associated with the file.

151 * @defgroup metadata_api Public Metadata API
154 * The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client
155 * application when demuxing. Conversely it allows a client application to
156 * set metadata when muxing.
158 * Metadata is exported or set as pairs of key/value strings in the 'metadata'
159 * fields of the AVFormatContext, AVStream, AVChapter and AVProgram structs
160 * using the @ref lavu_dict "AVDictionary" API. Like all strings in FFmpeg,
161 * metadata is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Note that metadata
162 * exported by demuxers isn't checked to be valid UTF-8 in most cases.
164 * Important concepts to keep in mind:
165 * - Keys are unique; there can never be 2 tags with the same key. This is
166 * also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce
167 * several keys that are literally different but semantically identical.
168 * E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be
169 * placed in the same tag.
170 * - Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags. If you
171 * want to store, e.g., the email address of the child of producer Alice
172 * and actor Bob, that could have key=alice_and_bobs_childs_email_address.
173 * - Several modifiers can be applied to the tag name. This is done by
174 * appending a dash character ('-') and the modifier name in the order
175 * they appear in the list below -- e.g. foo-eng-sort, not foo-sort-eng.
176 * - language -- a tag whose value is localized for a particular language
177 * is appended with the ISO 639-2/B 3-letter language code.
178 * For example: Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
179 * The original/default language is in the unqualified "Author" tag.
180 * A demuxer should set a default if it sets any translated tag.
181 * - sorting -- a modified version of a tag that should be used for
182 * sorting will have '-sort' appended. E.g. artist="The Beatles",
183 * artist-sort="Beatles, The".
185 * - Demuxers attempt to export metadata in a generic format, however tags
186 * with no generic equivalents are left as they are stored in the container.
187 * Follows a list of generic tag names:
190 album -- name of the set this work belongs to
191 album_artist -- main creator of the set/album, if different from artist.
192 e.g. "Various Artists" for compilation albums.
193 artist -- main creator of the work
194 comment -- any additional description of the file.
195 composer -- who composed the work, if different from artist.
196 copyright -- name of copyright holder.
197 creation_time-- date when the file was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
198 date -- date when the work was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
199 disc -- number of a subset, e.g. disc in a multi-disc collection.
200 encoder -- name/settings of the software/hardware that produced the file.
201 encoded_by -- person/group who created the file.
202 filename -- original name of the file.
203 genre -- <self-evident>.
204 language -- main language in which the work is performed, preferably
205 in ISO 639-2 format. Multiple languages can be specified by
206 separating them with commas.
207 performer -- artist who performed the work, if different from artist.
208 E.g for "Also sprach Zarathustra", artist would be "Richard
209 Strauss" and performer "London Philharmonic Orchestra".
210 publisher -- name of the label/publisher.
211 service_name -- name of the service in broadcasting (channel name).
212 service_provider -- name of the service provider in broadcasting.
213 title -- name of the work.
214 track -- number of this work in the set, can be in form current/total.
215 variant_bitrate -- the total bitrate of the bitrate variant that the current stream is part of
218 * Look in the examples section for an application example how to use the Metadata API.
