swscaler warning : deprecated pixel format used

Question

I want to perform a color space conversion of my video frame before converting it to an opengl texture with the following code:

struct SwsContext * pSwsCtx = sws_getCachedContext(NULL,width, height, codec->pix_fmt, width, height, AV_PIX_FMT_RGBA, SWS_POINT, NULL, NULL, NULL);

Each time the sws_getCachedContext() function is called I got the following warning:

[swscaler @ 0x10506fa00] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly

Here is my ffmpeg output for version information:

Any idea to disable this warning? How to set the color range correctly?

Answer 1

It seems you're trying to read AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJXXXP frames which are deprecated (see the libav doc). You can use this workaround to manage it :

AVPixelFormat pixFormat;
switch (_videoStream->codec->pix_fmt) {
case AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P :
    pixFormat = AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P;
    break;
case AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ422P  :
    pixFormat = AV_PIX_FMT_YUV422P;
    break;
case AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ444P   :
    pixFormat = AV_PIX_FMT_YUV444P;
    break;
case AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ440P :
    pixFormat = AV_PIX_FMT_YUV440P;
    break;
default:
    pixFormat = _videoStream->codec->codec->pix_fmts;
    break;
}
