See the comment block at the top of fftools/ffmpeg_sched.h for more
details on what this scheduler is for.
This commit adds the scheduling code itself, along with minimal
integration with the rest of the program:
* allocating and freeing the scheduler
* passing it throughout the call stack in order to register the
individual components (demuxers/decoders/filtergraphs/encoders/muxers)
with the scheduler
The scheduler is not actually used as of this commit, so it should not
result in any change in behavior. That will change in future commits.
ffmpeg_opt.c currently contains code for
- parsing the options provided on the command line
- opening and initializing input files based on these options
- opening and initializing output files based on these options
The code dealing with each of these is for the most part disjoint, so it
makes sense to move them to separate files. Beyond reducing the quite
considerable size of ffmpeg_opt.c, this will also allow exposing muxer
internals (currently private to ffmpeg_mux.c) to the initialization
code, thus removing the awkward separation currently in place.
The -shortest option (which finishes the output file at the time the
shortest stream ends) is currently implemented by faking the -t option
when an output stream ends. This approach is fragile, since it depends
on the frames/packets being processed in a specific order. E.g. there
are currently some situations in which the output file length will
depend unpredictably on unrelated factors like encoder delay. More
importantly, the present work aiming at splitting various ffmpeg
components into different threads will make this approach completely
unworkable, since the frames/packets will arrive in effectively random
order.
This commit introduces a "sync queue", which is essentially a collection
of FIFOs, one per stream. Frames/packets are submitted to these FIFOs
and are then released for further processing (encoding or muxing) when
it is ensured that the frame in question will not cause its stream to
get ahead of the other streams (the logic is similar to libavformat's
interleaving queue).
These sync queues are then used for encoding and/or muxing when the
-shortest option is specified.
A new option – -shortest_buf_duration – controls the maximum number of
queued packets, to avoid runaway memory usage.
This commit changes the results of the following tests:
- copy-shortest[12]: the last audio frame is now gone. This is
correct, since it actually outlasts the last video frame.
- shortest-sub: the video packets following the last subtitle packet are
now gone. This is also correct.
This was almost completely redundant. The only functionality that's no longer
available after this removal is the videotoolbox_pixfmt arg, which has been
obsolete for several years.
This allows user set hw_device_ctx instead of hw_frames_ctx for QSV
decoders, hence we may remove the ad-hoc libmfx setup code from FFmpeg.
"-hwaccel_output_format format" is applied to QSV decoders after
removing the ad-hoc libmfx code. In order to keep compatibility with old
commandlines, the default format is set to AV_PIX_FMT_QSV, but this
behavior will be removed in the future. Please set "-hwaccel_output_format qsv"
explicitly if AV_PIX_FMT_QSV is expected.
The normal device stuff works for QSV decoders now, user may use
"-init_hw_device args" to initialise device and "-hwaccel_device
devicename" to select a device for QSV decoders.
"-qsv_device device" which was added for workarounding device selection
in the ad-hoc libmfx code still works
For example:
$> ffmpeg -init_hw_device qsv=qsv:hw_any,child_device=/dev/dri/card0
-hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i input.h264 -f null -
/dev/dri/renderD128 is actually open for h264_qsv decoder in the above
command without this patch. After applying this patch, /dev/dri/card0
is used.
$> ffmpeg -init_hw_device vaapi=va:/dev/dri/card0 -init_hw_device
qsv=hw@va -hwaccel_device hw -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i input.h264
-f null -
device hw of type qsv is not usable in the above command without this
patch. After applying this patch, this command works as expected.

This was added in early 2013 and abandoned several months later; as far as
I can tell, there are no external users. Future OpenCL use will be via
hwcontext, which requires neither special OpenCL-only API nor global state
in libavutil.
All internal users are also deleted - this is just the unsharp filter
(replaced by unsharp_opencl, which is more flexible) and the deshake filter
(no replacement).
