Function rsmpeg::ffi::avformat_find_stream_info[][src]

pub unsafe extern "C" fn avformat_find_stream_info(
    ic: *mut AVFormatContext,
    options: *mut *mut AVDictionary
) -> i32
Expand description

Read packets of a media file to get stream information. This is useful for file formats with no headers such as MPEG. This function also computes the real framerate in case of MPEG-2 repeat frame mode. The logical file position is not changed by this function; examined packets may be buffered for later processing.

@param ic media file handle @param options If non-NULL, an ic.nb_streams long array of pointers to dictionaries, where i-th member contains options for codec corresponding to i-th stream. On return each dictionary will be filled with options that were not found. @return >=0 if OK, AVERROR_xxx on error

@note this function isn’t guaranteed to open all the codecs, so options being non-empty at return is a perfectly normal behavior.

@todo Let the user decide somehow what information is needed so that we do not waste time getting stuff the user does not need.
