Hi all,
I'm trying to use ffmpeg as a decoder for a real-time x264 stream that
I'm generating. It works fine if I try to decode entire frames, but if
I try to decode a single NALU the decoder errors out saying 'no
frame'. I've tried using the parser (av_parser_parse2) but the h264
decoder doesnt seem to like that output either. I'm using x264 with
annex-b and repeat-headers on.
The encoder config is as follows:
x264params.b_sliced_threads = 1;
x264params.i_slice_max_size = 1350;
x264params.i_width = yuvSize.width;
x264params.i_height = yuvSize.height;
x264params.i_fps_num = 10;
x264params.i_fps_den = 1;
x264params.b_vfr_input = 0;
x264params.rc.i_bitrate = 1500;
// Intra refres:
x264params.i_keyint_max = 50000000;
x264params.b_intra_refresh = 1;
//Rate control:
x264params.rc.i_rc_method = X264_RC_ABR;
x264params.rc.i_vbv_buffer_size = 300;
x264params.rc.i_vbv_max_bitrate = 1500;
//For streaming:
x264params.b_repeat_headers = 1;
x264params.b_annexb = 1;
x264_param_apply_profile(&x264params, "baseline");
I do the encode with:
int frame_size = x264_encoder_encode(x264Encoder, &nals, &i_nals,
&pic_in, &pic_out);
Now, since the max slice size is 1350, each packet output is a udp
packet of size < MTU (this is true) and sent across the network.
I iterate over the nals[i].p_payload and send them over to the ffmpeg
side for decoding. I receive the correct packet on the remote side.
If I assemble ALL the NALUs that were output in this frame and feed it
directly to the decoder (even without the parser), it works fine! If I
feed one NALU at a time, it fails (event with the parse). I'm sending
it to the parser like:
int plen = av_parser_parse2(codecParser, decoderContext, &outbuf,
&outside, indata,inlength,0,0,0);
plen always reports that it consumed the entire NALU that I gave it -
after consuming a few NALUs, the outsize and outbuf are set to some
value. Feeding it into the decoder using:
int len = avcodec_decode_video2(decoderContext,decoderOutframe,
&gotpic,&avpkt);
Results in it saying 'No frame'. Again, if avpkt.data contains the
entire frame (all NALUs concatenated) it will work!
I'm obviously doing some obviously wrong - but I really cant figure
out why it wont decode a single NALU. Or is this a limitation in ffmpeg?
Thanks Guys!
