Hi,
You must've missed part of the mplayer code.
The parser is only that, a parser. It parses the data, extracts some
metadata and puts complete frames back together, it doesn't do any
actual decoding.
For decoding you'll always have to use avcodec_decode_video2.
In my experience, you'll usually want to do both, but that depends on
the source of the content.

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I indeed mist a part of the Mplayer code, where they use
avcodec_decode_video2.
Can you give me some pointers on how to use avcodec_decode_video2 when
all I have is an unsigned char* buffer?
I already tried adding 0x000001 as the first three bytes of the buffer
(and resizing it to len+FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE) and then storing
it as AVPacket.
avcodec_decode_video2() then fails with these errors:
[h264 @ 0x203d720]non-existing PPS 0 referenced
[h264 @ 0x203d720]decode_slice_header error
[h264 @ 0x203d720]no frame!
Is there something small forgot or is the decoding of H264 not as simple
as I hoped?
Regards,
Tim
