AVStream

Stream structure. New fields can be added to the end with minor version bumps. Removal, reordering and changes to existing fields require a major version bump. sizeof(AVStream) must not be used outside libav*.

dts_ordered
uint8_t dts_ordered;
Undocumented in source.
duration
int64_t duration;

Decoding: duration of the stream, in stream time base. If a source file does not specify a duration, but does specify a bitrate, this value will be estimated from bitrate and file size.

event_flags
int event_flags;

Flags for the user to detect events happening on the stream. Flags must be cleared by the user once the event has been handled. A combination of AVSTREAM_EVENT_FLAG_*.

first_dts
int64_t first_dts;

Timestamp corresponding to the last dts sync point.

index
int index;

< stream index in AVFormatContext

index_entries
AVIndexEntry* index_entries;

< Only used if the format does not support seeking natively.

uint index_entries_allocated_size;
Undocumented in source.
info
Info* info;
Undocumented in source.
inject_global_side_data

Internal data to inject global side data

interleaver_chunk_duration
int64_t interleaver_chunk_duration;
Undocumented in source.
interleaver_chunk_size
int64_t interleaver_chunk_size;
Undocumented in source.

Undocumented in source.
last_IP_pts
int64_t last_IP_pts;
Undocumented in source.
last_dts_for_order_check
int64_t last_dts_for_order_check;

Internal data to analyze DTS and detect faulty mpeg streams

last_in_packet_buffer
AVPacketList* last_in_packet_buffer;

last packet in packet_buffer for this stream when muxing.

metadata
AVDictionary* metadata;
Undocumented in source.
mux_ts_offset
int64_t mux_ts_offset;

Timestamp offset added to timestamps before muxing NOT PART OF PUBLIC API

nb_decoded_frames
int nb_decoded_frames;

Number of internally decoded frames, used internally in libavformat, do not access its lifetime differs from info which is why it is not in that structure.

nb_frames
int64_t nb_frames;

< number of frames in this stream if known or 0

nb_index_entries
int nb_index_entries;
Undocumented in source.
nb_side_data
int nb_side_data;

The number of elements in the AVStream.side_data array.

need_parsing
AVStreamParseType need_parsing;
Undocumented in source.
parser
AVCodecParserContext* parser;
Undocumented in source.
priv_data
void* priv_data;
Undocumented in source.
probe_data
AVProbeData probe_data;
Undocumented in source.
probe_packets
int probe_packets;

Number of packets to buffer for codec probing

pts
deprecated AVFrac pts;

@deprecated this field is unused

pts_buffer
int64_t[MAX_REORDER_DELAY + 1] pts_buffer;
Undocumented in source.
pts_reorder_error
int64_t[MAX_REORDER_DELAY + 1] pts_reorder_error;

Internal data to generate dts from pts

pts_reorder_error_count
uint8_t[MAX_REORDER_DELAY + 1] pts_reorder_error_count;
Undocumented in source.
pts_wrap_behavior
int pts_wrap_behavior;

Options for behavior, when a wrap is detected.

pts_wrap_bits
int pts_wrap_bits;

< number of bits in pts (used for wrapping control)

pts_wrap_reference
int64_t pts_wrap_reference;

Internal data to check for wrapping of the time stamp

r_frame_rate
AVRational r_frame_rate;

Real base framerate of the stream. This is the lowest framerate with which all timestamps can be represented accurately (it is the least common multiple of all framerates in the stream). Note, this value is just a guess! For example, if the time base is 1/90000 and all frames have either approximately 3600 or 1800 timer ticks, then r_frame_rate will be 50/1.

request_probe
int request_probe;

stream probing state -1 -> probing finished 0 -> no probing requested rest -> perform probing with request_probe being the minimum score to accept. NOT PART OF PUBLIC API

sample_aspect_ratio
AVRational sample_aspect_ratio;

sample aspect ratio (0 if unknown) - encoding: Set by user. - decoding: Set by libavformat.

side_data
AVPacketSideData* side_data;

An array of side data that applies to the whole stream (i.e. the container does not allow it to change between packets).

skip_samples
int skip_samples;

Number of samples to skip at the start of the frame decoded from the next packet.

skip_to_keyframe
int skip_to_keyframe;

Indicates that everything up to the next keyframe should be discarded.

start_time
int64_t start_time;

Decoding: pts of the first frame of the stream in presentation order, in stream time base. Only set this if you are absolutely 100% sure that the value you set it to really is the pts of the first frame. This may be undefined (AV_NOPTS_VALUE). @note The ASF header does NOT contain a correct start_time the ASF demuxer must NOT set this.

stream_identifier
int stream_identifier;

Stream Identifier This is the MPEG-TS stream identifier +1 0 means unknown

time_base
AVRational time_base;

This is the fundamental unit of time (in seconds) in terms of which frame timestamps are represented.

update_initial_durations_done
int update_initial_durations_done;

Internal data to prevent doing update_initial_durations() twice
