[PATCH 0/5] Stateful Encoding: final bits

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds support for fractions in the control framework,
and a way to obtain the min and max values of compound controls
such as v4l2_fract.

Next it adds the V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ENC_FRAME_RATE control to
set the framerate for the encoder.

The next patch adds support for the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TOO_SMALL flag
to signal that the capture buffer was too small.

The final patch adds the encoder spec (unchanged from v3).

Michael, can you add support for V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ENC_FRAME_RATE
to your encoder driver? Let me know if something isn't working.
I need to add a test control for this to vivid as well and add support
for this to v4l2-ctl, that's on my TODO list.

Open questions:

1) Existing encoder drivers use S_PARM to signal the frameperiod,
but as discussed in Lyon this should be the rate at which frames are
submitted for encoding, which can be different from
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ENC_FRAME_RATE. But given the current use-cases
I was wondering if calling S_PARM should set the ENC_FRAME_RATE
control as well, and you would need to explicitly set the control
after S_PARM if the two are not the same. This would mean that
existing applications that don't know about the control can keep working.

2) I do believe that we need a RELEASE/DEL/DESTROY_BUFS ioctl in
order to do proper handling of the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TOO_SMALL case.
I am inclined to postpone adding this flag until we have that ioctl.
We can still merge the stateful encoder spec if we mention that that
is work in progress.

Regards,

	Hans
