wm4 39f01e346c mmaldec: be more tolerant against MMAL not returning decoded output
In some situations, MMAL won't return a decoded frame for certain input
frames. This can happen if a frame fails to decode, or if a packet does
not actually contain a complete frame. In these situations, we would
deadlock (or actually timeout) waiting for an expected output frame,
which is not ideal. On the other hand, there are situations where we
definitely have to block to avoid deadlocks. (This mess is a
consequence of trying to map MMAL's asynchronous and flexible
dataflow to libavcodec, which is more static and rigid.)

Solve this by doing a blocking wait only if the amount of buffered data
is too big. The whole purpose of the blocking wait is to avoid excessive
buffering of input data, so we can skip it if it appears to be low. The
consequence is that libavcodec can gracefully return no frame to the
API user.

We want to track the number of full packets to make our heuristic work.
But MMAL buffers are fixed-size, requiring splitting large packets. This
is why the previous commit is needed. We use the ..._FRAME_END flag to
remember packet boundaries, but MMAL does not preserve these buffer
flags when returning buffers to the user.

Libav is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libavresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • avconv is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • avplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • avprobe is a simple analisys tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
