Enums

enum pjmedia_vid_packing¶

This enumeration specifies the packetization property of video encoding process. The value is bitmask, and smaller value will have higher priority to be used.

Values:

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_PACKING_UNKNOWN¶: This specifies that the packetization is unknown, or if nothing is supported.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_PACKING_PACKETS¶: This specifies that the result of video encoding process will be segmented into packets, which is suitable for RTP transmission. The maximum size of the packets is set in enc_mtu field of pjmedia_vid_codec_param.

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_PACKING_WHOLE¶: This specifies that video encoding function will produce a whole or full frame from the source frame. This is normally used for encoding video for offline storage such as to an AVI file. The maximum size of the packets is set in enc_mtu field of pjmedia_vid_codec_param.

enum pjmedia_vid_frm_bit_info¶

Enumeration of video frame info flag for the bit_info field in the pjmedia_frame.

Values:

enumerator PJMEDIA_VID_FRM_KEYFRAME¶: The video frame is keyframe.

pj_status_t pjmedia_vid_codec_get_param(pjmedia_vid_codec *codec, pjmedia_vid_codec_param *param)¶

pj_status_t pjmedia_vid_codec_encode_begin(pjmedia_vid_codec *codec, const pjmedia_vid_encode_opt *opt, const pjmedia_frame *input, unsigned out_size, pjmedia_frame *output, pj_bool_t *has_more)¶

Encode the specified input frame. The input MUST contain only one picture with the appropriate format as specified when opening the codec. Depending on the packing or packetization set in the packing param, the process may produce multiple encoded packets or payloads to represent the picture. This is true for example for PJMEDIA_VID_PACKING_PACKETS packing. In this case, the has_more field will be set to PJ_TRUE, and application should call pjmedia_vid_codec_encode_more() to get the remaining results from the codec.

Parameters

codec – The codec instance.
opt – Optional encoding options.
input – The input frame.
out_size – The length of buffer in the output frame. This should be at least the same as the configured encoding MTU of the codec.
output – The output frame.
has_more – PJ_TRUE if more payloads are available; application should then call pjmedia_vid_codec_encode_more() to retrieve the remaining results.

Returns

PJ_SUCCESS on success;

pj_status_t pjmedia_vid_codec_encode_more(pjmedia_vid_codec *codec, unsigned out_size, pjmedia_frame *output, pj_bool_t *has_more)¶

Retrieve more encoded packets/payloads from the codec. Application should call this function repeatedly until has_more flag is set to PJ_FALSE.

Parameters

codec – The codec instance.
out_size – The length of buffer in the output frame. This should be at least the same as as the configured encoding MTU of the codec.
output – The output frame.
has_more – PJ_TRUE if more payloads are available, which in this case application should call encode_more() to retrieve them.

Returns

PJ_SUCCESS on success;

pj_status_t pjmedia_vid_codec_decode(pjmedia_vid_codec *codec, pj_size_t pkt_count, pjmedia_frame packets[], unsigned out_size, pjmedia_frame *output)¶

Decode the input packets into one picture. If the packing is set to PJMEDIA_VID_PACKING_PACKETS when opening the codec, the codec is set to decode multiple encoded packets into one picture. These encoded packets are typically retrieved from the jitter buffer. If the packing is set to PJMEDIA_VID_PACKING_WHOLE, then this decode function can only accept one frame as the input.

Note that the decoded picture format may different to the configured setting (i.e. the format specified in the pjmedia_vid_codec_param when opening the codec), in this case the PJMEDIA_EVENT_FMT_CHANGED event will be emitted by the codec to notify the event. The codec parameter will also be updated, and application can query the format by using pjmedia_vid_codec_get_param().

Parameters

codec – The codec instance.
pkt_count – Number of packets in the input.
packets – Array of input packets, each containing an encoded frame.
out_size – The length of buffer in the output frame.
output – The output frame.

Returns

PJ_SUCCESS on success;

pj_status_t pjmedia_vid_codec_recover(pjmedia_vid_codec *codec, unsigned out_size, pjmedia_frame *output)¶

Recover a missing frame.

Parameters

codec – The codec instance.
out_size – The length of buffer in the output frame.
output – The output frame where generated signal will be placed.

Returns

PJ_SUCCESS on success;

This structure describes operations that must be supported by codec factories.
