IMPORT_C TAny * CustomInterface ( THwDeviceId aHwDevice,
TUid aInterface
)

Retrieves a custom interface to the specified hardware device.

Parameters

THwDeviceId aHwDevice "The hardware device from which the custom interface shall be requested. The value is returned from SelectDecoderL() or SelectPostProcessorL() when the device is selected." @param "aInterface" "Interface UID, defined with the custom interface." @return "Pointer to the interface implementation, or NULL if the device does not implement the interface requested.

DecodingPosition()

IMPORT_C TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds DecodingPosition ( )
Returns the current decoding position, i.e. the timestamp for the most recently decoded picture.
Pre-condition

FindCommonFormat(const TArray< TUncompressedVideoFormat > &, const TArray< TUncompressedVideoFormat > &, TUncompressedVideoFormat &)

IMPORT_C TBool FindCommonFormat ( const TArray < TUncompressedVideoFormat > & aFormats1,
const TArray < TUncompressedVideoFormat > & aFormats2,
TUncompressedVideoFormat & aCommonFormat
) [static]

Finds a common format from two lists of uncompressed video formats. Used typically to find a suitable intermediate format between a video decoder and a post-processor. If multiple common formats are available, the lowest-cost format is selected, assuming that the cost of each format is equal to its position in the input array.

Parameters

const TArray < TUncompressedVideoFormat > & aFormats1 "The first format list."
const TArray < TUncompressedVideoFormat > & aFormats2 "The second format list."
TUncompressedVideoFormat & aCommonFormat "The target variable where the common format found (if any) is stored."

FindDecodersL(const TDesC8 &, TUint32, RArray< TUid > &, TBool)

IMPORT_C void FindDecodersL ( const TDesC8 & aMimeType,
TUint32 aPostProcType,
RArray < TUid > & aDecoders,
TBool aExactMatch = ETrue
)

Finds all available decoders for a given video type with support for certain post-processing operations. The video type is specified using its MIME type, which may include parameters specifying the supported level, version, and other information. Decoder HW devices can use wildcards when listing the supported video types in the ECom registration information, so it is possible that all the decoders returned do not support the specified submode, e.g. profile and level, unless aExactMatch is set. The decoder capabilities can be checked with VideoCodecInfoLC().

leave
"This method may leave with one of the system-wide error codes. Typical error codes used: KErrNotFound: No decoders were found matching the search parameters."

Parameters

const TDesC8 & aMimeType "The video type that will be decoded."
TUint32 aPostProcType "The post-processing types that the decoder has to support, a binary OR of TPrePostProcessType values. If no post-processing support is needed, set this value to zero." @param "aDecoders" "An array for the result decoder UIDs. The array must be created and destroyed by the caller." @param "aExactMatch" "True if exact matching should be used. In this only decoders that support exactly the MIME-type given will be returned. Since verifying this may require loading the decoders into memory, this can be a fairly expensive operation, and if the user needs to verify their capabilities further in any case this parameter should be set to EFalse."
RArray < TUid > & aDecoders
TBool aExactMatch = ETrue

FindPostProcessorsL(TUint32, RArray< TUid > &)

IMPORT_C void FindPostProcessorsL ( TUint32 aPostProcType,
RArray < TUid > & aPostProcessors
)
Finds all available post-processors for a given set of post-processing operations.
leave
"This method may leave with one of the system-wide error codes. Typical error codes used: KErrNotFound: No post-processors were found matching the search parameters."

Parameters

TUint32 aPostProcType "The post-processing types that the hardware device has to support, a binary OR of TPrePostProcessType values."
RArray < TUid > & aPostProcessors "An array for the result post-processor UIDs. The array must be created and destroyed by the caller."

FreezePicture(const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds &)

IMPORT_C void FreezePicture ( const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aPlaybackPosition )

Freezes a picture on the screen. After the picture has been frozen, no picture is displayed until the freeze is released with ReleaseFreeze() . If the video output is being written to memory buffers, not the screen, decoded pictures will not be delivered to the client when a freeze is active, but are simply discarded.

Parameters

const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aPlaybackPosition "The presentation timestamp of the picture to freeze. The frozen picture will be the first picture with a timestamp greater than or equal to this parameter." @pre "This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

GetBitstreamCounters(TBitstreamCounters &)

IMPORT_C void GetBitstreamCounters ( TBitstreamCounters & aCounters )
Reads various counters related to the received input bitstream and coded data units. See the definition of TBitstreamCounters for a description about the counters. The counters are reset when Initialize() or this method is called, and thus they only include data processed since the last call.
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TBitstreamCounters & aCounters "The counter structure to fill."

GetBufferL(TUint)

IMPORT_C TVideoInputBuffer * GetBufferL ( TUint aBufferSize )

Retrieves an empty video input buffer from the decoder. After input data has been written to the buffer, it can be written to the decoder using WriteCodedDataL() . The maximum number of buffers the client can retrieve before returning any to the decoder is determined by the TBufferOptions.iMinNumInputBuffers value set with SetBufferOptionsL() .

If a buffer is not immediately available, the client can wait for a MdvpoNewBuffers() callback before trying again, or poll for new buffer availability after a delay. Note that video decoding may be performed in the same thread, in a separate active object, so the client must not block the active scheduler while waiting for buffers to become available, otherwise the system can deadlock. Assuming that the client does not keep too many buffers retrieved and playback is in progress, new buffers will be available after some time.

The decoder maintains ownership of the buffers even while they have been retrieved by the client, and will take care of deallocating them. The client must not destroy the buffer objects, even if it has retrieved buffers and it is being shut down. The buffers will be destroyed by the decoder, and will not be valid after the decoder has been shut down.

leave
"The method will leave if an error occurs. Lack of free buffers is not considered an error."

Parameters

TUint aBufferSize "Required buffer size, in bytes. The resulting buffer can be larger than this, but not smaller"

GetBufferOptions(TBufferOptions &)

IMPORT_C void GetBufferOptions ( TBufferOptions & aOptions )
Gets the video decoder buffer options actually in use. This can be used before calling SetBufferOptionsL() to determine the default options, or afterwards to check the values actually in use (if some default values were used).
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called before the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TBufferOptions & aOptions "Buffering options structure to fill."

GetComplexityLevelInfo(THwDeviceId, TUint, TComplexityLevelInfo &)

IMPORT_C void GetComplexityLevelInfo ( THwDeviceId aHwDevice,
TUint aLevel,
TComplexityLevelInfo & aInfo
)
Gets information about a computational complexity level. This method can be called after NumComplexityLevels() has returned a non-zero value - at that point the information is guaranteed to be available. Some hardware device implementations may not be able to provide all values, in that case the values will be approximated.
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

THwDeviceId aHwDevice "The hw device to query. The value is returned from SelectDecoderL()or SelectPostProcessorL() when the device is selected."
TUint aLevel "The computational complexity level to query. The level numbers range from zero (the most complex) to NumComplexityLevels()-1."
TComplexityLevelInfo & aInfo "The information structure to fill."

GetDecoderListL(RArray< TUid > &)

IMPORT_C void GetDecoderListL ( RArray < TUid > & aDecoders )
Retrieves a list of available video decoders in the system.
leave
"This method may leave with one of the system-wide error codes. Not finding any decoders is not treated as an error condition: in this situation, aDecoders will be empty."

Parameters

RArray < TUid > & aDecoders "An array for the result decoder UIDs. The array must be created and destroyed by the caller."

GetHeaderInformationL(TVideoDataUnitType, TVideoDataUnitEncapsulation, TVideoInputBuffer *)

IMPORT_C TVideoPictureHeader * GetHeaderInformationL ( TVideoDataUnitType aDataUnitType,
TVideoDataUnitEncapsulation aDataUnitEncapsulation,
TVideoInputBuffer * aDataUnit
)
Reads header information from a coded data unit. [1 #59] This method can be called only after SelectDecoderL() .
leave
"The method will leave if an error occurs. Running out of data is not considered an error, as described above. Typical error codes used: KErrNotSupported - The data is not in a supported format. KErrCorrupt - The data appears to be in a supported format, but is corrupted."

Parameters

TVideoDataUnitType aDataUnitType "The type of coded data unit that is contained in aDataUnit. If the data is a simple piece of bitstream, use EDuArbitraryStreamSection." @param "aDataUnitEncapsulation" "The encapsulation type used for the coded data. If the data is a simple piece of bitstream, use EDuElementaryStream." @param "aDataUnit" "The coded data unit, contained in a TVideoInputBuffer." @return "Header information for the data unit, or NULL if the coded data unit did not contain enough data to parse the header. The header data must be returned to the API using ReturnHeader() before the API is shut down or the decoder is changed. The data remains valid until it is returned."
TVideoDataUnitEncapsulation aDataUnitEncapsulation
TVideoInputBuffer * aDataUnit

GetNewPictureInfo(TUint &, TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds &, TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds &)

IMPORT_C void GetNewPictureInfo ( TUint & aNumPictures,
TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aEarliestTimestamp,
TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aLatestTimestamp
)

Gets information about new decoded pictures. "New decoded pictures" are pictures that have not been returned to the caller using NextPicture(). This method can only be called if video destination is memory buffers, i.e. Direct Screen Access is not used.

Parameters

TUint & aNumPictures "Target for the number of new decoded pictures. If no pictures are available, the value written is zero, and the timestamps are not valid." @param "aEarliestTimestamp" "Timestamp for the earliest available new decoded picture. If the number of new decoded pictures (aNumPictures) is zero, the timestamp is not valid." @param "aLatestTimestamp" "Timestamp for the latest available new decoded picture. If the number of new decoded pictures (aNumPictures) is zero, the timestamp is not valid." @pre "This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."
TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aEarliestTimestamp
TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aLatestTimestamp

GetOutputFormatListL(THwDeviceId, RArray< TUncompressedVideoFormat > &)

IMPORT_C void GetOutputFormatListL ( THwDeviceId aHwDevice,
RArray < TUncompressedVideoFormat > & aFormats
)
Retrieves the list of the output formats a hardware device supports. The list is ordered in preference order, with the preferred formats at the beginning of the list. The list can depend on the device source format, and therefore SetSourceFormatL() must be called for the device before calling this method.
leave
"This method may leave with one of the system-wide error codes."
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called before the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

THwDeviceId aHwDevice "The hardware device to configure. The value is returned from SelectDecoderL() or SelectPostProcessorL() when the device is selected."

GetPictureCounters(TPictureCounters &)

IMPORT_C void GetPictureCounters ( TPictureCounters & aCounters )
Reads various counters related to decoded pictures. See the definition of TPictureCounters for a description of the counters. The counters are reset when Initialize() or this method is called, and thus they only include pictures processed since the last call.
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TPictureCounters & aCounters "The counter structure to fill."

GetPostProcessorListL(RArray< TUid > &)

IMPORT_C void GetPostProcessorListL ( RArray < TUid > & aPostProcessors )

Retrieves a list of available video post-processors in the system.

leave
This method may leave with one of the system-wide error codes. Not finding any post-processors is not treated as an error condition: in this situation, aDecoders will be empty.

Parameters

Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TPictureData & aPictureData "Target picture. The memory for the picture must be allocated by the caller, and initialized properly. The data formats must match the snapshot format requested." @param "aFormat" "The picture format to use for the snapshot." @return "ETrue if the snapshot was taken, EFalse if a picture is not available. The picture may not be available if decoding has not progressed far enough yet."

GetTimedSnapshotL(TPictureData *, const TUncompressedVideoFormat &, const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds &)

IMPORT_C void GetTimedSnapshotL ( TPictureData * aPictureData,
const TUncompressedVideoFormat & aFormat,
const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aPresentationTimestamp
)

Gets a copy of a specified picture. Timed snapshots are required for implementing the video telephony use-case. Simply using the latest picture may not work, since the latest picture is typically not the one whose supplemental information is being processed.

The picture is specified using its presentation timestamp. The timestamp must match the timestamp in the picture exactly, otherwise no snapshot will be taken. The timestamp must refer to the currently displayed picture or a future picture. Typically the timestamp is received with supplemental information (with the MdvpoSupplementalInformation() callback) indicating a snapshot picture.

When the snapshot is available, it will be returned to the client using the MdvpoTimedSnapshotComplete() callback. To cancel a timed snapshot request, use CancelTimedSnapshot() . Only one timed snapshot request can be active at a time.

leave
"The method will leave if an error occurs. Typical error codes used: KErrNotSupported - The requested data format or picture size is not supported."
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TPictureData * aPictureData "Target picture. The memory for the picture must be allocated by the caller, and initialized properly. The data formats must match the snapshot format requested. The picture must remain valid until the snapshot has been taken or until the request has been cancelled with CancelTimedSnapshot()." @param "aFormat" "The picture format to use for the snapshot." @param "aPresentationTimestamp" "Presentation timestamp for the picture to copy. The timestamp must match the timestamp in the picture exactly"
const TUncompressedVideoFormat & aFormat
const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aPresentationTimestamp

GetTimedSnapshotL(TPictureData *, const TUncompressedVideoFormat &, const TPictureId &)

IMPORT_C void GetTimedSnapshotL ( TPictureData * aPictureData,
const TUncompressedVideoFormat & aFormat,
const TPictureId & aPictureId
)

Gets a copy of a specified picture. Timed snapshots are required for implementing the video telephony use-case. Simply using the latest picture may not work, since the latest picture is typically not the one whose supplemental information is being processed.

The picture is specified using either its picture identifier. The id must refer to the currently displayed picture or a future picture. Typically the picture ID is received with supplemental information (with the MdvpoSupplementalInformation() callback) indicating a snapshot picture.

When the snapshot is available, it will be returned to the client using the MdvpoTimedSnapshotComplete() callback. To cancel a timed snapshot request, use CancelTimedSnapshot() . Only one timed snapshot request can be active at a time.

leave
"The method will leave if an error occurs. Typical error codes used: KErrNotSupported - The requested data format or picture size is not supported."
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TPictureData * aPictureData "Target picture. The memory for the picture must be allocated by the caller, and initialized properly. The data formats must match the snapshot format requested. The picture must remain valid until the snapshot has been taken or until the request has been cancelled with CancelTimedSnapshot()." @param "aFormat" "The picture format to use for the snapshot." @param "aPictureId" "Picture identifier for the picture to copy."

const TPictureId & aPictureId

HandleDecodeInitializeComplete(TInt)

void HandleDecodeInitializeComplete ( TInt aError ) [private]

Parameters

TInt aError

HandlePostProcInitializeComplete(TInt)

void HandlePostProcInitializeComplete ( TInt aError ) [private]

Parameters

TInt aError

Initialize()

IMPORT_C void Initialize ( )

Initializes the video device. This method is asynchronous, DevVideoPlay will call MMMFDevVideoPlayObserver::MdvpoInitializeComplete() after initialization has completed. No DevVideoPlay method may be called while initialization is in progress, the initialization process can only be cancelled by destroying the DevVideoPlay object. After this initialization has been successfully completed, further configuration changes are not possible except where separately noted.

If initialization fails for any reason, the DevVideoPlay object must be destroyed and set up from scratch.

InputEnd()

IMPORT_C void InputEnd ( )

Notifies the system that the end of input data has been reached.

The decoder and post-processor can use this signal to ensure that the remaining data gets processed, without waiting for new data. For example when the data type is not EDuCodedPicture, calling this method is necessary otherwise a decoder implementation might be waiting for the start code for the next picture to ensure it has a complete picture before starting to decode the previous one.

After the remaining data has been processed (and displayed, if applicable), the client gets notified with the MdvpoStreamEnd() callback. The client must then call Stop() on the interface.

DevVideo clients are encouraged to call this method, but its use is not mandatory for synchronized processing. For synchronized playback, all video pictures are processed or discarded according to their timestamps, and so the client can easily infer when processing is complete. However, it should be noted that the last picture might not be displayed if this method is not called and the input data type is not EDuCodedPicture.

For non-synchronized playback (e.g. file conversion), a client must call this method otherwise it will never find out when the hardware device has finished processing the data.

Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

IsPlaying()

IMPORT_C TBool IsPlaying ( )
Indicates whether playback is proceeding. This method can be used to check whether playback was paused or not in response to a new clipping region or DSA abort.
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

SelectDecoderL(TUid)

IMPORT_C THwDeviceId SelectDecoderL ( TUid aDecoder )

Selects the video decoder to be used. This method must be called before any other video decoder related methods are used. The decoder to use can be changed by calling this method again before the API has been initialized with Initialize() . All video decoder settings are reset to their default values, which are up to the implementation to decide if not specified in any of the MSL specifications. By default no post-processing is performed.

leave
"The method will leave if an error occurs. Typical error codes used: KErrNotFound - No decoder was found with the given UID"
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called before the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TUid aDecoder "The video decoder to use."

SelectPostProcessorL(TUid)

IMPORT_C THwDeviceId SelectPostProcessorL ( TUid aPostProcessor )

Selects the video post-processor to be used. This method must be called before any other post-processor related methods are used. The post-processor to use can be changed by calling this method again before the API has been initialized with Initialize() . All post-processor settings are reset to their default values, which are up to the implementation to decide if not specified in any of the MSL specifications.

leave
"The method will leave if an error occurs. Typical error codes used: KErrNotFound - No post-processor was found with the given UID"
Pre-condition
"This method can only be called before the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

TUid aPostProcessor "The post-processor to use."

SetBufferOptionsL(const TBufferOptions &)

IMPORT_C void SetBufferOptionsL ( const TBufferOptions & aOptions )
Sets video decoder buffering options.
leave
"The method will leave if an error occurs. Typical error codes used: KErrNotSupported - The specified buffering options are not supported. If the client receives this error code, it can call GetBufferOptions() to determine the options the decoder is able to support." @pre "This method can only be called before the API has been initialized with Initialize() ."

Parameters

const TBufferOptions & aOptions "Buffering options."

SetClockSource(MMMFClockSource *)

IMPORT_C void SetClockSource ( MMMFClockSource * aClock )

Sets the clock source to use for video timing. When video playback is synchronized with audio, the clock source is implemented by the audio playback subsystem, otherwise the clock source should get the time from the system clock. If no clock source is set, video playback will not be synchronized, but will proceed as fast as possible, depending on input data and output buffer availability. This method can be called after all hardware devices have been selected, but before calling Initialize() .

All decoders must support synchronization with an external clock source, as well as unsynchronized non-realtime operation. When a clock source is set, the decoder can skip pictures to maintain synchronization. When non-realtime operation is used and no clock source has been set, pictures may not be skipped unless a lower complexity level is used that requires this.

Pre-condition
"This method can only be called before the API has been initialized with Initialize()."

Parameters

MMMFClockSource * aClock "The clock source to use"

SetComplexityLevel(THwDeviceId, TUint)

IMPORT_C void SetComplexityLevel ( THwDeviceId aHwDevice,

The complexity level can be changed at any point during playback.

Parameters

THwDeviceId aHwDevice "The plug-in to control. The value is returned from SelectDecoderL()or SelectPostProcessorL() when the device is selected."
TUint aLevel "The computational complexity level to use. Level zero (0) is the most complex one, with the highest quality. Higher level numbers require less processing and may have lower quality." @pre "This method can only be called after the API has been initialized with Initialize()."
