-- For other people
|
|
- Multithread vp8 or vc1.
|
|
- Multithread an intra codec like mjpeg (trivial).
|
|
- Fix mpeg1 (see below).
|
|
- Try the first three items under Optimization.
|
|
- Fix h264 (see below).
|
|
- Try mpeg4 (see below).

-- Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
General critical:
|
|
- Error resilience has to run before ff_report_frame_progress()
|
|
is called. Otherwise there will be race conditions. (This might already
|
|
work.) In general testing error paths should be done more.
|
|
- 'make fate THREADS=2' doesn't pass. Most failures are due to
|
|
bugs in vsync in ffmpeg.c, which are currently obscuring real failures.
|
|
|
|
h264:
|
|
- Files split at the wrong NAL unit don't (and can't)
|
|
be decoded with threads (e.g. TS split so PPS is after
|
|
the frame, PAFF with two fields in a packet). Scan the
|
|
packet at the start of decode and don't finish setup
|
|
until all PPS/SPS have been encountered.
|
|
|
|
mpeg4:
|
|
- Packed B-frames need to be explicitly split up
|
|
when frame threading is on. It's not very fast
|
|
without this.
|
|
- The buffer age optimization is disabled due to
|
|
the way buffers are allocated across threads. The
|
|
branch 'fix_buffer_age' has an attempt to fix it
|
|
which breaks ffplay.
|
|
- Support interlaced.
|
|
|
|
mpeg1/2:
|
|
- Seeking always prints "first frame not a keyframe"
|
|
with threads on. Currently disabled for this reason.
|
|
|
|
-- Prove correct
|
|
|
|
- decode_update_progress() in h264.c
|
|
race_checking branch has some work on h264,
|
|
but not that function. It might be worth putting
|
|
the branch under #ifdef DEBUG in mainline, but
|
|
the code would have to be cleaner.
|
|
- MPV_lowest_referenced_row() and co in mpegvideo.c
|
|
- Same in vp3.
|
|
|
|
-- Optimization
|
|
|
|
- Merge h264 decode_update_progress() with loop_filter().
|
|
Add CODEC_CAP_DRAW_HORIZ_BAND as a side effect.
|
|
- EMU_EDGE is always set for h264 PAFF+MT
|
|
because draw_edges() writes into the other field's
|
|
thread's pixels. Needs an option to skip T/B fields.
|
|
- Check update_thread_context() functions and make
|
|
sure they only copy what they need to.
|
|
- Try some more optimization of the "ref < 48; ref++"
|
|
loop in h264.c await_references(), try turning the list0/list1 check
|
|
above into a loop without being slower.
|
|
- Support frame+slice threading at the same time
|
|
by assigning slice_count threads for frame threads
|
|
to use with execute(). This is simpler but unbalanced
|
|
if only one frame thread uses any.
|
|
|
|
-- Features
|
|
|
|
- Support streams with width/height changing. This
|
|
requires flushing all current frames (and buffering
|
|
the input in the meantime), closing the codec and
|
|
reopening it. Or don't support it.
|
|
- Support encoding. Might need more threading primitives
|
|
for good ratecontrol; would be nice for audio and libavfilter too.
|
|
- Async decoding part 1: instead of trying to
|
|
start every thread at the beginning, return a picture
|
|
if the earliest thread is already done, but don't wait
|
|
for it. Not sure what effect this would have.
|
|
- Part 2: have an API that doesn't wait for the decoding
|
|
thread, only returns EAGAIN if it's not ready. What will
|
|
it do with the next input packet if it returns that?
|
|
- Have an API that returns finished pictures but doesn't
|
|
require sending new ones. Maybe allow NULL avpkt when
|
|
not at the end of the stream.

|
|
|
|
See yuvcmp.c in this directory to compare decoded samples.
|
|
|
|
For debugging, try commenting out ff_thread_finish_setup calls so
|
|
that only one thread runs at once, and then binary search+
|
|
scatter printfs to look for differences in codec contexts.
