int av_get_frame_filename ( char *  buf,
int  buf_size,
const char *  path,
int  number 
)

Return in 'buf' the path with 'd' replaced by a number.

bufdestination buffer
buf_sizedestination buffer size
pathnumbered sequence string

AVRational av_guess_frame_rate ( AVFormatContext ctx,
AVStream stream,
AVFrame frame 
)

Guess the frame rate, based on both the container and codec information.

Parameters
ctxthe format context which the stream is part of
streamthe stream which the frame is part of
framethe frame for which the frame rate should be determined, may be NULL
Returns
the guessed (valid) frame rate, 0/1 if no idea

AVRational av_guess_sample_aspect_ratio ( AVFormatContext format,
AVStream stream,
AVFrame frame 
)

Guess the sample aspect ratio of a frame, based on both the stream and the frame aspect ratio.

Since the frame aspect ratio is set by the codec but the stream aspect ratio is set by the demuxer, these two may not be equal. This function tries to return the value that you should use if you would like to display the frame.

Basic logic is to use the stream aspect ratio if it is set to something sane otherwise use the frame aspect ratio. This way a container setting, which is usually easy to modify can override the coded value in the frames.

Parameters
formatthe format context which the stream is part of
streamthe stream which the frame is part of
framethe frame with the aspect ratio to be determined
Returns
the guessed (valid) sample_aspect_ratio, 0/1 if no idea

int av_sdp_create ( AVFormatContext ac[],
int  n_files,
char *  buf,
int  size 
)

Generate an SDP for an RTP session.

Note, this overwrites the id values of AVStreams in the muxer contexts for getting unique dynamic payload types.

Parameters
acarray of AVFormatContexts describing the RTP streams. If the array is composed by only one context, such context can contain multiple AVStreams (one AVStream per RTP stream). Otherwise, all the contexts in the array (an AVCodecContext per RTP stream) must contain only one AVStream.
n_filesnumber of AVCodecContexts contained in ac
bufbuffer where the SDP will be stored (must be allocated by the caller)
sizethe size of the buffer
Returns
0 if OK, AVERROR_xxx on error

int *  port_ptr,
char *  path,
int  path_size,
const char *  url 
)

Split a URL string into components.

The pointers to buffers for storing individual components may be null, in order to ignore that component. Buffers for components not found are set to empty strings. If the port is not found, it is set to a negative value.

Parameters

proto_sizethe size of the proto buffer
authorizationthe buffer for the authorization
authorization_sizethe size of the authorization buffer
hostnamethe buffer for the host name
hostname_sizethe size of the hostname buffer
