I am playing around with multithreaded H.264 decoding with git from a few days ago, but I noticed that frames are returned with a delay equal to the number of threads assigned to the decoder context. The way I can tell if I am getting decoded frames is by checking got_picture_ptr, which works even though I get errors from av_read_frame(). The only hiccup is that I get crashes when trying to decode x number of frames before the end of the stream, x being the number of threads. So, if the stream has 100 frames and I am using 4 threads, avcodec_decode_video2() crashes while trying to decode frame 96 of 99.
Is there something else I need to do when setting my decoder context to more than one thread? _______________________________________________ Libav-user mailing list Libav-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-user
