Detailed Description

Graph-based frame editing library.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_DYNAMIC_INPUTS

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_DYNAMIC_INPUTS (1 << 0)

The number of the filter inputs is not determined just by AVFilter.inputs.

The filter might add additional inputs during initialization depending on the options supplied to it.

Definition at line 106 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_DYNAMIC_OUTPUTS

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_DYNAMIC_OUTPUTS (1 << 1)

The number of the filter outputs is not determined just by AVFilter.outputs.

The filter might add additional outputs during initialization depending on the options supplied to it.

Definition at line 112 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_SLICE_THREADS

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_SLICE_THREADS (1 << 2)

The filter supports multithreading by splitting frames into multiple parts and processing them concurrently.

Definition at line 117 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_METADATA_ONLY

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_METADATA_ONLY (1 << 3)

The filter is a "metadata" filter - it does not modify the frame data in any way.

It may only affect the metadata (i.e. those fields copied by av_frame_copy_props()).

More precisely, this means:

video: the data of any frame output by the filter must be exactly equal to some frame that is received on one of its inputs. Furthermore, all frames produced on a given output must correspond to frames received on the same input and their order must be unchanged. Note that the filter may still drop or duplicate the frames.
audio: the data produced by the filter on any of its outputs (viewed e.g. as an array of interleaved samples) must be exactly equal to the data received by the filter on one of its inputs.

Definition at line 133 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_HWDEVICE

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_HWDEVICE (1 << 4)

The filter can create hardware frames using AVFilterContext.hw_device_ctx.

Definition at line 138 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE_GENERIC

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE_GENERIC (1 << 16)

Some filters support a generic "enable" expression option that can be used to enable or disable a filter in the timeline.

Filters supporting this option have this flag set. When the enable expression is false, the default no-op filter_frame() function is called in place of the filter_frame() callback defined on each input pad, thus the frame is passed unchanged to the next filters.

Definition at line 147 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE_INTERNAL

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE_INTERNAL (1 << 17)

Same as AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE_GENERIC, except that the filter will have its filter_frame() callback(s) called as usual even when the enable expression is false.

The filter will disable filtering within the filter_frame() callback(s) itself, for example executing code depending on the AVFilterContext->is_disabled value.

Definition at line 155 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE

#define AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE (AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE_GENERIC | AVFILTER_FLAG_SUPPORT_TIMELINE_INTERNAL)

Handy mask to test whether the filter supports or no the timeline feature (internally or generically).

Definition at line 160 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_THREAD_SLICE

#define AVFILTER_THREAD_SLICE (1 << 0)

Process multiple parts of the frame concurrently.

Definition at line 392 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_CMD_FLAG_ONE

#define AVFILTER_CMD_FLAG_ONE 1

Stop once a filter understood the command (for target=all for example), fast filters are favored automatically.

Definition at line 742 of file avfilter.h.

◆ AVFILTER_CMD_FLAG_FAST

#define AVFILTER_CMD_FLAG_FAST 2

Only execute command when its fast (like a video out that supports contrast adjustment in hw)

Definition at line 743 of file avfilter.h.

Initialize a filter with the supplied parameters.

Parameters

ctx	uninitialized filter context to initialize

ctx	uninitialized filter context to initialize
options	An AVDictionary filled with options for this filter. On return this parameter will be destroyed and replaced with a dict containing options that were not found. This dictionary must be freed by the caller. May be NULL, then this function is equivalent to avfilter_init_str() with the second parameter set to NULL.

Returns: 0 on success, a negative AVERROR on failure

Note: This function and avfilter_init_str() do essentially the same thing, the difference is in manner in which the options are passed. It is up to the calling code to choose whichever is more preferable. The two functions also behave differently when some of the provided options are not declared as supported by the filter. In such a case, avfilter_init_str() will fail, but this function will leave those extra options in the options AVDictionary and continue as usual.

In the graph filters description, if the input label of the first filter is not specified, "in" is assumed; if the output label of the last filter is not specified, "out" is assumed.

Parameters

graph	the filter graph where to link the parsed graph context
filters	string to be parsed
inputs	pointer to a linked list to the inputs of the graph, may be NULL. If non-NULL, *inputs is updated to contain the list of open inputs after the parsing, should be freed with avfilter_inout_free().
outputs	pointer to a linked list to the outputs of the graph, may be NULL. If non-NULL, *outputs is updated to contain the list of open outputs after the parsing, should be freed with avfilter_inout_free().

Returns: non negative on success, a negative AVERROR code on error

Examples: decode_filter_audio.c, decode_filter_video.c, and transcode.c.

◆ avfilter_graph_parse2()

int avfilter_graph_parse2	(	AVFilterGraph *	graph,
		const char *	filters,
		AVFilterInOut **	inputs,
		AVFilterInOut **	outputs
	)

Add a graph described by a string to a graph.

Parameters

[in]	graph	the filter graph where to link the parsed graph context
[in]	filters	string to be parsed
[out]	inputs	a linked list of all free (unlinked) inputs of the parsed graph will be returned here. It is to be freed by the caller using avfilter_inout_free().
[out]	outputs	a linked list of all free (unlinked) outputs of the parsed graph will be returned here. It is to be freed by the caller using avfilter_inout_free().

Returns: zero on success, a negative AVERROR code on error

Note: This function returns the inputs and outputs that are left unlinked after parsing the graph and the caller then deals with them.; This function makes no reference whatsoever to already existing parts of the graph and the inputs parameter will on return contain inputs of the newly parsed part of the graph. Analogously the outputs parameter will contain outputs of the newly created filters.

◆ avfilter_graph_segment_parse()

int avfilter_graph_segment_parse	(	AVFilterGraph *	graph,
		const char *	graph_str,
		int	flags,
		AVFilterGraphSegment **	seg
	)

Parse a textual filtergraph description into an intermediate form.

This intermediate representation is intended to be modified by the caller as described in the documentation of AVFilterGraphSegment and its children, and then applied to the graph either manually or with other avfilter_graph_segment_*() functions. See the documentation for avfilter_graph_segment_apply() for the canonical way to apply AVFilterGraphSegment.

Parameters

graph	Filter graph the parsed segment is associated with. Will only be used for logging and similar auxiliary purposes. The graph will not be actually modified by this function - the parsing results are instead stored in seg for further processing.
graph_str	a string describing the filtergraph segment
flags	reserved for future use, caller must set to 0 for now
seg	A pointer to the newly-created AVFilterGraphSegment is written here on success. The graph segment is owned by the caller and must be freed with avfilter_graph_segment_free() before graph itself is freed.

Return values

non-negative number	success
negative error code	failure

◆ avfilter_graph_segment_create_filters()

int avfilter_graph_segment_create_filters	(	AVFilterGraphSegment *	seg,
		int	flags
	)

Create filters specified in a graph segment.

Walk through the creation-pending AVFilterParams in the segment and create new filter instances for them. Creation-pending params are those where AVFilterParams.filter_name is non-NULL (and hence AVFilterParams.filter is NULL). All other AVFilterParams instances are ignored.

For any filter created by this function, the corresponding AVFilterParams.filter is set to the newly-created filter context, AVFilterParams.filter_name and AVFilterParams.instance_name are freed and set to NULL.

Parameters

seg	the filtergraph segment to process
flags	reserved for future use, caller must set to 0 for now

Return values

non-negative number	Success, all creation-pending filters were successfully created
AVERROR_FILTER_NOT_FOUND	some filter's name did not correspond to a known filter
another negative error code	other failures

Note: Calling this function multiple times is safe, as it is idempotent.

◆ avfilter_graph_segment_apply_opts()

int avfilter_graph_segment_apply_opts	(	AVFilterGraphSegment *	seg,
		int	flags
	)

Apply parsed options to filter instances in a graph segment.

Walk through all filter instances in the graph segment that have option dictionaries associated with them and apply those options with av_opt_set_dict2(..., AV_OPT_SEARCH_CHILDREN). AVFilterParams.opts is replaced by the dictionary output by av_opt_set_dict2(), which should be empty (NULL) if all options were successfully applied.

If any options could not be found, this function will continue processing all other filters and finally return AVERROR_OPTION_NOT_FOUND (unless another error happens). The calling program may then deal with unapplied options as it wishes.

Any creation-pending filters (see avfilter_graph_segment_create_filters()) present in the segment will cause this function to fail. AVFilterParams with no associated filter context are simply skipped.

Parameters

seg	the filtergraph segment to process
flags	reserved for future use, caller must set to 0 for now

Return values

non-negative number	Success, all options were successfully applied.
AVERROR_OPTION_NOT_FOUND	some options were not found in a filter
another negative error code	other failures

Note: Calling this function multiple times is safe, as it is idempotent.

◆ avfilter_graph_segment_init()

int avfilter_graph_segment_init	(	AVFilterGraphSegment *	seg,
		int	flags
	)

Initialize all filter instances in a graph segment.

Walk through all filter instances in the graph segment and call avfilter_init_dict(..., NULL) on those that have not been initialized yet.

Any creation-pending filters (see avfilter_graph_segment_create_filters()) present in the segment will cause this function to fail. AVFilterParams with no associated filter context or whose filter context is already initialized, are simply skipped.

Parameters

seg	the filtergraph segment to process
flags	reserved for future use, caller must set to 0 for now

Return values

non-negative number	Success, all filter instances were successfully initialized
negative error code	failure

Note: Calling this function multiple times is safe, as it is idempotent.

◆ avfilter_graph_segment_link()

int avfilter_graph_segment_link	(	AVFilterGraphSegment *	seg,
		int	flags,
		AVFilterInOut **	inputs,
		AVFilterInOut **	outputs
	)

Link filters in a graph segment.

Walk through all filter instances in the graph segment and try to link all unlinked input and output pads. Any creation-pending filters (see avfilter_graph_segment_create_filters()) present in the segment will cause this function to fail. Disabled filters and already linked pads are skipped.

Every filter output pad that has a corresponding AVFilterPadParams with a non-NULL label is

linked to the input with the matching label, if one exists;
exported in the outputs linked list otherwise, with the label preserved. Unlabeled outputs are
linked to the first unlinked unlabeled input in the next non-disabled filter in the chain, if one exists
exported in the ouputs linked list otherwise, with NULL label

Similarly, unlinked input pads are exported in the inputs linked list.

Parameters

	seg	the filtergraph segment to process
	flags	reserved for future use, caller must set to 0 for now
[out]	inputs	a linked list of all free (unlinked) inputs of the filters in this graph segment will be returned here. It is to be freed by the caller using avfilter_inout_free().
[out]	outputs	a linked list of all free (unlinked) outputs of the filters in this graph segment will be returned here. It is to be freed by the caller using avfilter_inout_free().

Return values

non-negative number	success
negative error code	failure

Note: Calling this function multiple times is safe, as it is idempotent.

◆ avfilter_graph_segment_apply()

int avfilter_graph_segment_apply	(	AVFilterGraphSegment *	seg,
		int	flags,
		AVFilterInOut **	inputs,
		AVFilterInOut **	outputs
	)

Apply all filter/link descriptions from a graph segment to the associated filtergraph.

This functions is currently equivalent to calling the following in sequence:

avfilter_graph_segment_create_filters();
avfilter_graph_segment_apply_opts();
avfilter_graph_segment_init();
avfilter_graph_segment_link(); failing if any of them fails. This list may be extended in the future.

Since the above functions are idempotent, the caller may call some of them manually, then do some custom processing on the filtergraph, then call this function to do the rest.

Parameters

	seg	the filtergraph segment to process
	flags	reserved for future use, caller must set to 0 for now
[out]	inputs	passed to avfilter_graph_segment_link()
[out]	outputs	passed to avfilter_graph_segment_link()

Return values

non-negative number	success
negative error code	failure

Note: Calling this function multiple times is safe, as it is idempotent.

◆ avfilter_graph_segment_free()

void avfilter_graph_segment_free ( AVFilterGraphSegment ** seg )

Free the provided AVFilterGraphSegment and everything associated with it.

Parameters

seg	double pointer to the AVFilterGraphSegment to be freed. NULL will be written to this pointer on exit from this function.

Note: The filter contexts (AVFilterParams.filter) are owned by AVFilterGraph rather than AVFilterGraphSegment, so they are not freed.

◆ avfilter_graph_send_command()

int avfilter_graph_send_command	(	AVFilterGraph *	graph,
		const char *	target,
		const char *	cmd,
		const char *	arg,
		char *	res,
		int	res_len,
		int	flags
	)

Send a command to one or more filter instances.

Parameters

graph	the filter graph
target	the filter(s) to which the command should be sent "all" sends to all filters otherwise it can be a filter or filter instance name which will send the command to all matching filters.
cmd	the command to send, for handling simplicity all commands must be alphanumeric only
arg	the argument for the command
res	a buffer with size res_size where the filter(s) can return a response.

Returns: >=0 on success otherwise an error code. AVERROR(ENOSYS) on unsupported commands

		const char *	target,
		const char *	cmd,
		const char *	arg,
		int	flags,
		double	ts
	)

Queue a command for one or more filter instances.

Parameters

graph	the filter graph
target	the filter(s) to which the command should be sent "all" sends to all filters otherwise it can be a filter or filter instance name which will send the command to all matching filters.
cmd	the command to sent, for handling simplicity all commands must be alphanumeric only
arg	the argument for the command
ts	time at which the command should be sent to the filter

Note: As this executes commands after this function returns, no return code from the filter is provided, also AVFILTER_CMD_FLAG_ONE is not supported.

◆ avfilter_graph_dump()

char* avfilter_graph_dump	(	AVFilterGraph *	graph,
		const char *	options
	)

Dump a graph into a human-readable string representation.

Parameters

graph	the graph to dump
options	formatting options; currently ignored

Returns: a string, or NULL in case of memory allocation failure; the string must be freed using av_free

◆ avfilter_graph_request_oldest()

int avfilter_graph_request_oldest ( AVFilterGraph * graph )

Request a frame on the oldest sink link.

If the request returns AVERROR_EOF, try the next.

Note that this function is not meant to be the sole scheduling mechanism of a filtergraph, only a convenience function to help drain a filtergraph in a balanced way under normal circumstances.

Also note that AVERROR_EOF does not mean that frames did not arrive on some of the sinks during the process. When there are multiple sink links, in case the requested link returns an EOF, this may cause a filter to flush pending frames which are sent to another sink link, although unrequested.

Returns: the return value of ff_request_frame(), or AVERROR_EOF if all links returned AVERROR_EOF
