[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] API and infrastructure enhancement projects

[Nicolas George]

Hi.

I would like to summarize the projects I have had in mind for FFmpeg for
some time. I have already evoked some of them here in more or less details.

These projects are not directly related to FFmpeg's work of codecs and
formats, they are about FFmpeg's infrastructure and API, to make the actual
work easier, and to provide a more convenient interface for applications.

Before starting to invest work in them, I would like feedback from the
community, both FFmpeg core developers and people who develop with FFmpeg's
libraries.

The projects are:

- Global state into structure

- Unified string / stream API

- Type descriptors

- Internal error messages

- Event loop

To make discussion easier, I will post one new mail per project.

Regards,
