This is a pretty simple example. It loads a raw codec file, parses chunks of data to the decoder and plots images to a GUI window. Background about video files: Using FFMpeg's terminology, a video/audio file has the following structure: - container: - stream 0 - stream 1 - stream ... A `container` is a file format like MP4, MP3, WAV. A `stream` is encoded media like video, audio ( or subtitles) using a codec like H264, H265, VP9, AAC, A3C, etc. MP4 isn't a codec and H264 isn't (strictly speaking) a file format. The first describes a packet structure for saving encoded streams to file, it contains header information, trailer information, and describes how to interleave multiple streams in a file. The later is a protocol for compressing raw media streams into something smaller in size, suitable for saving to file, transmitting over a network connection or adding to a `container` file. Note, FFMpeg treats network protocols like HTTP, RTMP, RTSP as containers. Dlib's dlib::ffmpeg::demuxer class reads `container` files like MP4, MP3 or RTSP streams, extracts and decodes each stream. Dlib's dlib::ffmpeg::decoder class reads raw encoded DATA like H264 or PCM data and decodes it to images or audio frames. */ #include #include #include #include using namespace std; using namespace dlib; using namespace dlib::ffmpeg; int main(const int argc, const char** argv) try { command_line_parser parser; parser.add_option("i", "input video encoded stream. e.g. dlib/test/ffmpeg_data/MOT20-08-raw.h264", 1); parser.add_option("codec", "codec name. e.g. h264", 1); parser.set_group_name("Help Options"); parser.add_option("h", "alias of --help"); parser.add_option("help", "display this message and exit"); parser.parse(argc, argv); const char* one_time_opts[] = {"i"}; parser.check_one_time_options(one_time_opts); if (parser.option("h") || parser.option("help")) { parser.print_options(); return 0; } const std::string filepath = parser.option("i").argument(); const std::string codec = parser.option("codec").argument(); decoder dec([&] { decoder::args args; args.codec_name = codec; return args; }()); if (!dec.is_open()) { printf("Failed to create decoder.\n"); return EXIT_FAILURE; } image_window win; const auto callback = [&](array2d& img) { win.set_image(img); }; ifstream fin{filepath, std::ios::binary}; std::vector buf(1024); while (fin) { fin.read(buf.data(), buf.size()); size_t ret = fin.gcount(); dec.push((const uint8_t*)buf.data(), ret, wrap(callback)); } dec.flush(wrap(callback)); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } catch (const std::exception& e) { printf("%s\n", e.what()); return EXIT_FAILURE; }
