[Libav-user] Custom data in AVPacket or AVFrame

[laddoe]

I made a typo when writing "h264" , the exact codec as stated in my code is

/**
 * @brief encoderName
 */
const std::string encoderName( "libx264rgb");

const AVCodecID decoderID( AV_CODEC_ID_H264 );

does this make any difference to the answer that was given by Brad ?

thank you in advance

The codec format supports it (e.g. as SEI - you might like to look at creating
a UUID and using the user-data-unregistered kind of SEI message), and the
container format can support it via custom boxes (and maybe some kind of other
box, like EMSG).

That is a bit different to the codec or container muxer/demuxer implementation
supporting it. For example, x264 based implementation in earlier versions of
ffmpeg (before 5.0, or maybe 4.4) didn't support encoding, but it did support
decoding. openh264 doesn't appear to support either.

The getter API is av_frame_get_side_data. See
https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/
group__lavu__frame.html#gadec0efb470b1eead6a979333d9deca0c
and associated methods / data structures.
