[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v13 01/14] global: Prepare AVFrame for subtitle handling

Soft Works softworkz at hotmail.com
Mon Oct 11 07:50:50 EEST 2021


Root commit for adding subtitle filtering capabilities.
In detail:

- Add type (AVMediaType) field to AVFrame
  Replaces previous way of distinction which was based on checking
  width and height to determine whether a frame is audio or video
- Add subtitle fields to AVFrame
- Add new struct AVSubtitleArea, similar to AVSubtitleRect, but different
  allocation logic. Cannot and must not be used interchangeably, hence
  the new struct
- Move enum AVSubtitleType, AVSubtitle and AVSubtitleRect to avutil
- Add public-named members to enum AVSubtitleType (AV_SUBTITLE_FMT_)
- Add avcodec_decode_subtitle3 which takes subtitle frames,
  serving as compatibility shim to legacy subtitle decoding
- Add additional methods for conversion between old and new API
