I changed in my code avcodec_decode_audio3 to avcodec_decode_audio4 and added the frame handling. But now I cannot decode AAC frames anymore.
Why does avcodec_decode_audio4 return -22 (invalid argument)? Following the answer below, does this have something to do with the parameters in AVContext that need to be set?
I had to use avcodec_decode_audio4 because I updated my ffmpeg and then got the following error:
[NULL @ 0xb14f020] Custom get_buffer() for use withavcodec_decode_audio3() detected.
Overriding with avcodec_default_get_buffer
[NULL @ 0xb14f020] Please port your application to avcodec_decode_audio4()
According to Buffer error in avcodec_decode_audio4() this is a regression, is there any other solution for this than going back to ffmpeg < 0.8 ?
The decoder using avcodec_decode_audio4:
AVCodec *codec;
AVCodecContext *avCtx;
AVFrame * decoded_frame = NULL;
uint8_t *outbuf = static_cast<uint8_t *>(malloc(AVCODEC_MAX_AUDIO_FRAME_SIZE));
AVPacket avPacket;
main(){
av_register_all();
codec = avcodec_find_decoder(CODEC_ID_AAC);
//set parameters
avCtx = avcodec_alloc_context3(codec);
avCtx->channels = 1;
avCtx->sample_rate = 44100;
avCtx->bit_rate=16;
if (avcodec_open2(avCtx, codec, NULL) < 0) printf("Could not open codec\n");
av_init_packet(&avPacket);
//Main decoder loop
while(1)
my_frame_decoder();
return 0;
}
void my_frame_decoder() {
//get data
...
avPacket.size = numBytes;
avPacket.data = inputBytes;
int len;
while (avPacket.size > 0) {
int got_frame = 0;
if (!decoded_frame) {
if (!(decoded_frame = avcodec_alloc_frame())) {
printf("out of memory");
return;
}
} else {
avcodec_get_frame_defaults(decoded_frame);
}
//-------------------->> returns always -22
len = avcodec_decode_audio4(avCtx, decoded_frame, &got_frame, &avPacket);
//do something with the decoded frame
...
avPacket.size -= len;
avPacket.data += len;
}
return;
}
After hours of searching, i found out that the dec_ctx
of the avcodec_decode_audio4
must be opened by a dec_codec
initialised by av_find_best_stream()
1° av_find_best_stream(in_fmt_ctx, AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO, -1, -1,
&dec_codec, 0);<br>
2° dec_ctx = m_in_aud_strm->codec;<br>
3° av_opt_set_int(dec_ctx, "refcounted_frames", 1, 0);<br>
4° avcodec_open2(dec_ctx, dec_codec, NULL)<br>
.
.
.
5° avcodec_decode_audio4(dec_ctx, pFrame, &got_frame, &pkt);
