ffmpeg | branch: master | Anton Khirnov <anton at khirnov.net> | Thu May 18 16:56:15 2023 +0200| [9b8cc36ce0b2417469d78c68780c8796886c202e] | committer: Anton Khirnov

fftools/ffmpeg: add thread-aware transcode scheduling infrastructure

See the comment block at the top of fftools/ffmpeg_sched.h for more
details on what this scheduler is for.

This commit adds the scheduling code itself, along with minimal
integration with the rest of the program:
* allocating and freeing the scheduler
* passing it throughout the call stack in order to register the
  individual components (demuxers/decoders/filtergraphs/encoders/muxers)
  with the scheduler

The scheduler is not actually used as of this commit, so it should not
result in any change in behavior. That will change in future commits.

+ * This file contains the API for the transcode scheduler.
+ *
+ * Overall architecture of the transcoding process involves instances of the
+ * following components:
+ * - demuxers, each containing any number of demuxed streams; demuxed packets
+ *   belonging to some stream are sent to any number of decoders (transcoding)
+ *   and/or muxers (streamcopy);
+ * - decoders, which receive encoded packets from some demuxed stream, decode
+ *   them, and send decoded frames to any number of filtergraph inputs
+ *   (audio/video) or encoders (subtitles);
+ * - filtergraphs, each containing zero or more inputs (0 in case the
+ *   filtergraph contains a lavfi source filter), and one or more outputs; the
+ *   inputs and outputs need not have matching media types;
+ *   each filtergraph input receives decoded frames from some decoder;
+ *   filtered frames from each output are sent to some encoder;
+ * - encoders, which receive decoded frames from some decoder (subtitles) or
+ *   some filtergraph output (audio/video), encode them, and send encoded
+ *   packets to some muxed stream;
+ * - muxers, each containing any number of muxed streams; each muxed stream
+ *   receives encoded packets from some demuxed stream (streamcopy) or some
+ *   encoder (transcoding); those packets are interleaved and written out by the
+ *   muxer.
+ *
+ * There must be at least one muxer instance, otherwise the transcode produces
+ * no output and is meaningless. Otherwise, in a generic transcoding scenario
+ * there may be arbitrary number of instances of any of the above components,
+ * interconnected in various ways.
+ *
+ * The code tries to keep all the output streams across all the muxers in sync
+ * (i.e. at the same DTS), which is accomplished by varying the rates at which
+ * packets are read from different demuxers and lavfi sources. Note that the
+ * degree of control we have over synchronization is fundamentally limited - if
+ * some demuxed streams in the same input are interleaved at different rates
+ * than that at which they are to be muxed (e.g. because an input file is badly
+ * interleaved, or the user changed their speed by mismatching amounts), then
+ * there will be increasing amounts of buffering followed by eventual
+ * transcoding failure.
+ *
+ * N.B. 1: there are meaningful transcode scenarios with no demuxers, e.g.
+ * - encoding and muxing output from filtergraph(s) that have no inputs;
+ * - creating a file that contains nothing but attachments and/or metadata.
+ *
+ * N.B. 2: a filtergraph output could, in principle, feed multiple encoders, but
+ * this is unnecessary because the (a)split filter provides the same
+ * functionality.
+ *
+ * The scheduler, in the above model, is the master object that oversees and
+ * facilitates the transcoding process. The basic idea is that all instances
+ * of the abovementioned components communicate only with the scheduler and not
+ * with each other. The scheduler is then the single place containing the
+ * knowledge about the whole transcoding pipeline.
