<para>These ioctls control an audio/video (usually MPEG-) decoder.
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD</constant> sends a command to the
|
|
decoder, <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD</constant> can be used to
|
|
try a command without actually executing it. To send a command applications
|
|
must initialize all fields of a &v4l2-decoder-cmd; and call
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD</constant> or <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD</constant>
|
|
with a pointer to this structure.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <structfield>cmd</structfield> field must contain the
|
|
command code. Some commands use the <structfield>flags</structfield> field for
|
|
additional information.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A <function>write</function>() or &VIDIOC-STREAMON; call sends an implicit
|
|
START command to the decoder if it has not been started yet.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A <function>close</function>() or &VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; call of a streaming
|
|
file descriptor sends an implicit immediate STOP command to the decoder, and all
|
|
buffered data is discarded.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These ioctls are optional, not all drivers may support
|
|
them. They were introduced in Linux 3.3.</para>

|
<entry>Playback speed and direction. The playback speed is defined as
|
|
<structfield>speed</structfield>/1000 of the normal speed. So 1000 is normal playback.
|
|
Negative numbers denote reverse playback, so -1000 does reverse playback at normal
|
|
speed. Speeds -1, 0 and 1 have special meanings: speed 0 is shorthand for 1000
|
|
(normal playback). A speed of 1 steps just one frame forward, a speed of -1 steps
|
|
just one frame back.

<entry>Format restrictions. This field is set by the driver, not the

there are no format restrictions or <constant>V4L2_DEC_START_FMT_GOP</constant>
|
|
if the decoder operates on full GOPs (<wordasword>Group Of Pictures</wordasword>).
|
|
This is usually the case for reverse playback: the decoder needs full GOPs, which
|
|
it can then play in reverse order. So to implement reverse playback the application
|
|
must feed the decoder the last GOP in the video file, then the GOP before that, etc. etc.

<entry>Start the decoder. When the decoder is already

running or paused, this command will just change the playback speed.
|
|
That means that calling <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_START</constant> when
|
|
the decoder was paused will <emphasis>not</emphasis> resume the decoder.
|
|
You have to explicitly call <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_RESUME</constant> for that.
|
|
This command has one flag:
|
|
<constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_START_MUTE_AUDIO</constant>. If set, then audio will
|
|
be muted when playing back at a non-standard speed.

this command does nothing. This command has two flags:

if <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_TO_BLACK</constant> is set, then the decoder will
|
|
set the picture to black after it stopped decoding. Otherwise the last image will
|
|
repeat. If <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_IMMEDIATELY</constant> is set, then the decoder
|
|
stops immediately (ignoring the <structfield>pts</structfield> value), otherwise it
|
|
will keep decoding until timestamp >= pts or until the last of the pending data from
|
|
its internal buffers was decoded.
