Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ sout_stream_query_e

Stream output control list.

Call the related actions with sout_StreamControl().

Enumerator
SOUT_STREAM_WANTS_SUBSTREAMS 

Some ES such as closed captions are considered optional and shouldn't be added to the stream output modules that return false for that query.

Parameters
bool*Closed caption support value, should be assumed false if the control fails.

Usage:

bool supports_substreams;
if (sout_StreamControl(stream, SOUT_STREAM_WANTS_SUBSTREAMS, &supports_substreams) != VLC_SUCCESS)
supports_substreams = false;
#define VLC_SUCCESS
No error.

Definition: vlc_sout.h:193
SOUT_STREAM_ID_SPU_HIGHLIGHT 

Signal the currently selected subtitle track that should be displayed to the stream output.

This control should fail and do nothing if not implemented.

Parameters
void*Stream ID
vlc_spu_highlight_t*Selected spu data.

Usage:

void *stream_id;
const vlc_spu_highlight_t hl_data = {... SPU infos...};
sout_StreamControl(stream, SOUT_STREAM_ID_SPU_HIGHLIGHT, stream_id, &hl_data);
@ SOUT_STREAM_ID_SPU_HIGHLIGHT
Signal the currently selected subtitle track that should be displayed to the stream output.
Definition: vlc_sout.h:210
Definition: vlc_subpicture.h:86
SOUT_STREAM_IS_SYNCHRONOUS 

A synchronous stream output is a stream paced by the input clock.

The data will be sent at input rate if true is returned.

Parameters
bool*True if the stream output should be input paced. Should be assumed false if the control fails.

Usage:

bool is_input_paced;
if (sout_StreamControl(stream, SOUT_STREAM_IS_SYNCHRONOUS, &supports_substreams) != VLC_SUCCESS)
supports_substreams = false;
@ SOUT_STREAM_IS_SYNCHRONOUS
A synchronous stream output is a stream paced by the input clock.

Various controls forwarded through the stream output chain.

Controls are various misc accessors or set of actions that can be used to query the stream output. See sout_stream_query_e for the list of availables controls.

References sout_StreamControlVa().

Referenced by DecoderSendSubstream(), sout_InputControlVa(), and sout_StreamIsSynchronous().

◆ sout_StreamControlVa()

int sout_StreamControlVa ( sout_stream_t s,
int  i_query,
va_list  args 
)

◆ sout_StreamFlush()

void sout_StreamFlush ( sout_stream_t s,
void *  id 
)

Signal a flush of an ES to the stream output.

Flush is an optional control, if implemented, it will drop all the bufferized data from ES and/or forward the Flush command to the next stream.

Parameters
idAn identifier of the ES to flush.

◆ sout_StreamIdAdd()

void * sout_StreamIdAdd ( sout_stream_t s,
const es_format_t fmt,
const char *  es_id 
)

Add an ES to the stream output.

The returned opaque identifier should be released by sout_StreamIdDel().

Parameters
fmtA non-NULL es-format descriptor.
es_idA non-NULL unique string describing the ES. This string is guaranteed to be valid for the whole lifetime of the ES (at least until sout_StreamIdDel() is called). Note that if stream output filters creates or duplicate a new ES, they are responsible for the validity and uniqueness of the string ID they pass to the next stream.
Returns
An opaque pointer identifying the ES.
Return values
NULLIn case of error.

◆ sout_StreamIdDel()

void sout_StreamIdDel ( sout_stream_t s,
void *  id 
)

Delete an ES from the stream output.

Parameters
idAn opaque pointer identifying the ES returned by sout_StreamIdAdd().
Returns
An opaque pointer identifying the ES.
Return values
NULLIn case of error.

◆ sout_StreamIdSend()

int sout_StreamIdSend ( sout_stream_t s,
void *  id,
vlc_frame_t f 
)

Pass a vlc_frame_t to the stream output.

Takes ownership of the frame, it should be considered as invalid and released after this call.

Warning
Only single frames are expected through this call, for frame chains, you'll have to call this for each frames.
Parameters
idThe ES identifier that sent the frame.
Return values
VLC_SUCCESSon success.
VLC_EGENERICon non-recoverable unspecific error cases.
(-ERRNO)A negated errno value describing the error case.

Referenced by EsOutSend(), and Init().

◆ sout_StreamSetPCR()

void sout_StreamSetPCR ( sout_stream_t s,
vlc_tick_t  pcr 
)

Signal a PCR update to the stream output.

The PCR (Program Clock Reference from the MPEG-TS spec.) gives a global stream advancement timestamp. The demuxer is required to:

  • Yield a PCR value at fix and frequent interval. Even if no ES are added to the stream output.
  • Send frames that have timestamp values greater than the last PCR value.
Note
PCR resets in case of handled discontinuity are implied by a frame marked by VLC_FRAME_FLAG_DISCONTINUITY and/or by a sout_StreamFlush() call.
