Otherwise, in a generic transcoding scenario * there may be arbitrary number of instances of any of the above components, * interconnected in various ways. * * The code tries to keep all the output streams across all the muxers in sync * (i.e. at the same DTS), which is accomplished by varying the rates at which * packets are read from different demuxers and lavfi sources. Note that the * degree of control we have over synchronization is fundamentally limited - if * some demuxed streams in the same input are interleaved at different rates * than that at which they are to be muxed (e.g. because an input file is badly * interleaved, or the user changed their speed by mismatching amounts), then * there will be increasing amounts of buffering followed by eventual * transcoding failure. * * N.B. 1: there are meaningful transcode scenarios with no demuxers, e.g. * - encoding and muxing output from filtergraph(s) that have no inputs; * - creating a file that contains nothing but attachments and/or metadata. * * N.B. 2: a filtergraph output could, in principle, feed multiple encoders, but * this is unnecessary because the (a)split filter provides the same * functionality. * * The scheduler, in the above model, is the master object that oversees and * facilitates the transcoding process. The basic idea is that all instances * of the abovementioned components communicate only with the scheduler and not * with each other. The scheduler is then the single place containing the * knowledge about the whole transcoding pipeline. */ struct AVFrame; struct AVPacket; typedef struct Scheduler Scheduler; enum SchedulerNodeType { SCH_NODE_TYPE_NONE = 0, SCH_NODE_TYPE_DEMUX, SCH_NODE_TYPE_MUX, SCH_NODE_TYPE_DEC, SCH_NODE_TYPE_ENC, SCH_NODE_TYPE_FILTER_IN, SCH_NODE_TYPE_FILTER_OUT, }; typedef struct SchedulerNode { enum SchedulerNodeType type; unsigned idx; unsigned idx_stream; } SchedulerNode; typedef void* (*SchThreadFunc)(void *arg); #define SCH_DSTREAM(file, stream) \ (SchedulerNode){ .type = SCH_NODE_TYPE_DEMUX, \ .idx = file, .idx_stream = stream } #define SCH_MSTREAM(file, stream) \ (SchedulerNode){ .type = SCH_NODE_TYPE_MUX, \ .idx = file, .idx_stream = stream } #define SCH_DEC(decoder) \ (SchedulerNode){ .type = SCH_NODE_TYPE_DEC, \ .idx = decoder } #define SCH_ENC(encoder) \ (SchedulerNode){ .type = SCH_NODE_TYPE_ENC, \ .idx = encoder } #define SCH_FILTER_IN(filter, input) \ (SchedulerNode){ .type = SCH_NODE_TYPE_FILTER_IN, \ .idx = filter, .idx_stream = input } #define SCH_FILTER_OUT(filter, output) \ (SchedulerNode){ .type = SCH_NODE_TYPE_FILTER_OUT, \ .idx = filter, .idx_stream = output } Scheduler *sch_alloc(void); void sch_free(Scheduler **sch); int sch_start(Scheduler *sch); int sch_stop(Scheduler *sch, int64_t *finish_ts); /** * Wait until transcoding terminates or the specified timeout elapses. * * @param timeout_us Amount of time in microseconds after which this function * will timeout. * @param transcode_ts Current transcode timestamp in AV_TIME_BASE_Q, for * informational purposes only. * * @retval 0 waiting timed out, transcoding is not finished * @retval 1 transcoding is finished */ int sch_wait(Scheduler *sch, uint64_t timeout_us, int64_t *transcode_ts); /** * Add a demuxer to the scheduler. * * @param func Function executed as the demuxer task. * @param ctx Demuxer state; will be passed to func and used for logging. * * @retval ">=0" Index of the newly-created demuxer. * @retval "<0" Error code. */ int sch_add_demux(Scheduler *sch, SchThreadFunc func, void *ctx); /** * Add a demuxed stream for a previously added demuxer. * * @param demux_idx index previously returned by sch_add_demux() * * @retval ">=0" Index of the newly-created demuxed stream. * @retval "<0" Error code. */ int sch_add_demux_stream(Scheduler *sch, unsigned demux_idx); /** * Add a decoder to the scheduler. * * @param func Function executed as the decoder task. * @param ctx Decoder state; will be passed to func and used for logging. * @param send_end_ts The decoder will return an end timestamp after flush packets * are delivered to it.
