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：
- 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packet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
- 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
- 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
- avcodec_send_packet()发送第一个NULL会返回成功，后续的NULL会返回AVERROR_EOF。
- 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。
- 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：
- 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
- 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
- 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
- avcodec_send_frame()发送NULL frame时，编码器进入flush模式
- avcodec_send_frame()发送第一个NULL会返回成功，后续的NULL会返回AVERROR_EOF
- 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。

- 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
