Set InputStream.decoding_needed/discard/etc. only from
ist_{filter,output},add() functions. Reduces the knowledge of
InputStream internals in muxing/filtering code.
When no timestamps are available from the container, the video decoding
code will currently use fake dts values - generated in
process_input_packet() based on a combination of information from the
decoder and the parser (obtained via the demuxer) - to generate
timestamps during decoder flushing. This is fragile, hard to follow, and
unnecessarily convoluted, since more reliable information can be
obtained directly from post-decoding values.
The new code keeps track of the last decoded frame pts and estimates its
duration based on a number of heuristics. Timestamps generated when both
pts and pkt_dts are missing are then simple pts+duration of the last frame.
The heuristics are somewhat complicated by the fact that lavf insists on
making up packet timestamps based on its highly incomplete information.
That should be removed in the future, allowing to further simplify this
code.
The results of the following tests change:
* h264-3386 now requires -fps_mode passthrough to avoid dropping frames
at the end; this is a pathology of the interaction of the new and old
code, and the fact that the sample switches from field to frame coding
in the last packet, and will be fixed in following commits
* hevc-conformance-DELTAQP_A_BRCM_4 stops inventing an arbitrary
timestamp gap at the end
* hevc-small422chroma - the single frame output by this test now has a
timestamp of 0, rather than an arbitrary 7
Currently, output streams where an input stream is sent directly (i.e.
not through lavfi) are determined by iterating over ALL the output
streams and skipping the irrelevant ones. This is awkward and
inefficient.
Replace it with an array of streams in each InputFile. This is a more
accurate reflection of the actual relationship between InputStream and
InputFile.
Analogous to what was previously done to output streams in
7ef7a22251b852faab9404c85399ba8ac5dfbdc3.
The current adjustment of input start times just adjusts the tsoffset.
And it does so, by resetting the tsoffset to nullify the new start time.
This leads to breakage of -copyts, ignoring of input_ts_offset, breaking
of -isync as well as breaking wrap correction.
Fixed by taking cognizance of these parameters, and by correcting start times
just before sync offsets are applied.
This is similar to what was done before for output files and will allow
introducing demuxer-private state in future commits
Unlike for muxing, the code is moved to existing ffmpeg_demux.c rather
than to a new file. The reason is just file size - the demuxing code is
much smaller than muxing.
It races with the demuxing thread. Instead, send the information along
with the demuxed packets.
Ideally, the code should stop using the stream-internal parsing
completely, but that requires considerably more effort.
Fixes races, e.g. in:
- fate-h264-brokensps-2580
- fate-h264-extradata-reload
- fate-iv8-demux
- fate-m4v-cfr
- fate-m4v
Discontinuity detection/correction is left in the main thread, as it is
entangled with InputStream.next_dts and related variables, which may be
set by decoding code.
Fixes races e.g. in fate-ffmpeg-streamloop after
aae9de0cb2887e6e0bbfda6ffdf85ab77d3390f0.
-stream_loop is currently handled by destroying the demuxer thread,
seeking, then recreating it anew. This is very messy and conflicts with
the future goal of moving each major ffmpeg component into its own
thread.
Handle -stream_loop directly in the demuxer thread. Looping requires the
demuxer to know the duration of the file, which takes into account the
duration of the last decoded audio frame (if any). Use a thread message
queue to communicate this information from the main thread to the
demuxer thread.
This avoids a potential race with the demuxer adding new streams. It is
also more efficient, since we no longer do inter-thread transfers of
packets that will be just discarded.
