4. 编解码API详解
解码使用 avcodec_send_packet() 和 avcodec_receive_frame() 两个函数。
编码使用 avcodec_send_frame() 和 avcodec_receive_packet() 两个函数。
4.1 API定义
4.1.1 avcodec_send_packet()
/**
* Supply raw packet data as input to a decoder.
*
* Internally, this call will copy relevant AVCodecContext fields, which can
* influence decoding per-packet, and apply them when the packet is actually
* decoded. (For example AVCodecContext.skip_frame, which might direct the
* decoder to drop the frame contained by the packet sent with this function.)
*
* @warning The input buffer, avpkt->data must be AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE
* larger than the actual read bytes because some optimized bitstream
* readers read 32 or 64 bits at once and could read over the end.
*
* @warning Do not mix this API with the legacy API (like avcodec_decode_video2())
* on the same AVCodecContext. It will return unexpected results now
* or in future libavcodec versions.
*
* @note The AVCodecContext MUST have been opened with @ref avcodec_open2()
* before packets may be fed to the decoder.
*
* @param avctx codec context
* @param[in] avpkt The input AVPacket. Usually, this will be a single video
* frame, or several complete audio frames.
* Ownership of the packet remains with the caller, and the
* decoder will not write to the packet. The decoder may create
* a reference to the packet data (or copy it if the packet is
* not reference-counted).
* Unlike with older APIs, the packet is always fully consumed,
* and if it contains multiple frames (e.g. some audio codecs),
* will require you to call avcodec_receive_frame() multiple
* times afterwards before you can send a new packet.
* It can be NULL (or an AVPacket with data set to NULL and
* size set to 0); in this case, it is considered a flush
* packet, which signals the end of the stream. Sending the
* first flush packet will return success. Subsequent ones are
* unnecessary and will return AVERROR_EOF. If the decoder
* still has frames buffered, it will return them after sending
* a flush packet.
*
* @return 0 on success, otherwise negative error code:
* AVERROR(EAGAIN): input is not accepted in the current state - user
* must read output with avcodec_receive_frame() (once
* all output is read, the packet should be resent, and
* the call will not fail with EAGAIN).
* AVERROR_EOF: the decoder has been flushed, and no new packets can
* be sent to it (also returned if more than 1 flush
* packet is sent)
* AVERROR(EINVAL): codec not opened, it is an encoder, or requires flush
* AVERROR(ENOMEM): failed to add packet to internal queue, or similar
* other errors: legitimate decoding errors
*/
int avcodec_send_packet(AVCodecContext *avctx, const AVPacket *avpkt);
4.1.2 avcodec_receive_frame()
/**
* Return decoded output data from a decoder.
*
* @param avctx codec context
* @param frame This will be set to a reference-counted video or audio
* frame (depending on the decoder type) allocated by the
* decoder. Note that the function will always call
* av_frame_unref(frame) before doing anything else.
*
* @return
* 0: success, a frame was returned
* AVERROR(EAGAIN): output is not available in this state - user must try
* to send new input
* AVERROR_EOF: the decoder has been fully flushed, and there will be
* no more output frames
* AVERROR(EINVAL): codec not opened, or it is an encoder
* other negative values: legitimate decoding errors
*/
int avcodec_receive_frame(AVCodecContext *avctx, AVFrame *frame);
4.1.3 avcodec_send_frame()
/**
* Supply a raw video or audio frame to the encoder. Use avcodec_receive_packet()
* to retrieve buffered output packets.
*
* @param avctx codec context
* @param[in] frame AVFrame containing the raw audio or video frame to be encoded.
* Ownership of the frame remains with the caller, and the
* encoder will not write to the frame. The encoder may create
* a reference to the frame data (or copy it if the frame is
* not reference-counted).
* It can be NULL, in which case it is considered a flush
* packet. This signals the end of the stream. If the encoder
* still has packets buffered, it will return them after this
* call. Once flushing mode has been entered, additional flush
* packets are ignored, and sending frames will return
* AVERROR_EOF.
*
* For audio:
* If AV_CODEC_CAP_VARIABLE_FRAME_SIZE is set, then each frame
* can have any number of samples.
* If it is not set, frame->nb_samples must be equal to
* avctx->frame_size for all frames except the last.
* The final frame may be smaller than avctx->frame_size.
* @return 0 on success, otherwise negative error code:
* AVERROR(EAGAIN): input is not accepted in the current state - user
* must read output with avcodec_receive_packet() (once
* all output is read, the packet should be resent, and
* the call will not fail with EAGAIN).
* AVERROR_EOF: the encoder has been flushed, and no new frames can
* be sent to it
* AVERROR(EINVAL): codec not opened, refcounted_frames not set, it is a
* decoder, or requires flush
* AVERROR(ENOMEM): failed to add packet to internal queue, or similar
* other errors: legitimate decoding errors
*/
int avcodec_send_frame(AVCodecContext *avctx, const AVFrame *frame);
4.1.4 avcodec_receive_packet()
/**
* Read encoded data from the encoder.
*
* @param avctx codec context
* @param avpkt This will be set to a reference-counted packet allocated by the
* encoder. Note that the function will always call
* av_frame_unref(frame) before doing anything else.
* @return 0 on success, otherwise negative error code:
* AVERROR(EAGAIN): output is not available in the current state - user
* must try to send input
* AVERROR_EOF: the encoder has been fully flushed, and there will be
* no more output packets
* AVERROR(EINVAL): codec not opened, or it is an encoder
* other errors: legitimate decoding errors

int avcodec_receive_packet(AVCodecContext *avctx, AVPacket *avpkt);
4.2 API使用说明
4.2.1 解码API使用详解
关于 avcodec_send_packet() 与 avcodec_receive_frame() 的使用说明：
[1] 按 dts 递增的顺序向解码器送入编码帧 packet，解码器按 pts 递增的顺序输出原始帧 frame，实际上解码器不关注输入 packe t的 dts(错值都没关系)，它只管依次处理收到的 packet，按需缓冲和解码
[2] avcodec_receive_frame() 输出 frame 时，会根据各种因素设置好 frame->best_effort_timestamp(文档明确说明)，实测 frame->pts 也会被设置(通常直接拷贝自对应的 packet.pts，文档未明确说明)用户应确保 avcodec_send_packet() 发送的 packet 具有正确的 pts，编码帧 packet 与原始帧 frame 间的对应关系通过 pts 确定
[3] avcodec_receive_frame() 输出 frame 时，frame->pkt_dts 拷贝自当前avcodec_send_packet() 发送的 packet 中的 dts，如果当前 packet 为 NULL(flush packet)，解码器进入 flush 模式，当前及剩余的 frame->pkt_dts 值总为 AV_NOPTS_VALUE。因为解码器中有缓存帧，当前输出的 frame 并不是由当前输入的 packet 解码得到的，所以这个 frame->pkt_dts 没什么实际意义，可以不必关注
[4] avcodec_send_packet() 发送第一个 NULL 会返回成功，后续的 NULL 会返回 AVERROR_EOF
[5] avcodec_send_packet() 多次发送 NULL 并不会导致解码器中缓存的帧丢失，使用 avcodec_flush_buffers() 可以立即丢掉解码器中缓存帧。因此播放完毕时应 avcodec_send_packet(NULL) 来取完缓存的帧，而 SEEK 操作或切换流时应调用 avcodec_flush_buffers() 来直接丢弃缓存帧
[6] 解码器通常的冲洗方法：调用一次 avcodec_send_packet(NULL)(返回成功)，然后不停调用 avcodec_receive_frame() 直到其返回 AVERROR_EOF，取出所有缓存帧，avcodec_receive_frame() 返回 AVERROR_EOF 这一次是没有有效数据的，仅仅获取到一个结束标志
4.2.2 编码API使用详解
关于 avcodec_send_frame() 与 avcodec_receive_packet() 的使用说明：
[1] 按 pts 递增的顺序向编码器送入原始帧 frame，编码器按 dts 递增的顺序输出编码帧 packet，实际上编码器关注输入 frame 的 pts 不关注其 dts，它只管依次处理收到的 frame，按需缓冲和编码
[2] avcodec_receive_packet() 输出 packet 时，会设置 packet.dts，从 0 开始，每次输出的 packet 的 dts 加 1，这是视频层的 dts，用户写输出前应将其转换为容器层的 dts
[3] avcodec_receive_packet() 输出 packet 时，packet.pts 拷贝自对应的 frame.pts，这是视频层的 pts，用户写输出前应将其转换为容器层的 pts
[4] avcodec_send_frame() 发送 NULL frame 时，编码器进入 flush 模式
[5] avcodec_send_frame() 发送第一个 NULL 会返回成功，后续的 NULL 会返回 AVERROR_EOF
[6] avcodec_send_frame() 多次发送 NULL 并不会导致编码器中缓存的帧丢失，使用 avcodec_flush_buffers() 可以立即丢掉编码器中缓存帧。因此编码完毕时应使用 avcodec_send_frame(NULL) 来取完缓存的帧，而SEEK操作或切换流时应调用 avcodec_flush_buffers() 来直接丢弃缓存帧
[7] 编码器通常的冲洗方法：调用一次 avcodec_send_frame(NULL)(返回成功)，然后不停调用 avcodec_receive_packet() 直到其返回 AVERROR_EOF，取出所有缓存帧，avcodec_receive_packet() 返回 AVERROR_EOF 这一次是没有有效数据的，仅仅获取到一个结束标志
[8] 对音频来说，如果 AV_CODEC_CAP_VARIABLE_FRAME_SIZE(在 AVCodecContext.codec.capabilities 变量中，只读)标志有效，表示编码器支持可变尺寸音频帧，送入编码器的音频帧可以包含任意数量的采样点。如果此标志无效，则每一个音频帧的采样点数目(frame->nb_samples)必须等于编码器设定的音频帧尺寸(avctx->frame_size)，最后一帧除外，最后一帧音频帧采样点数可以小于 avctx->frame_size
