Hello,
I've been using FFMPEG as a demultiplexer. Meaning I'm only using it to
analyze an MPEG2 transport stream ( retrieving basic information such as
video width/height/H.264 extradata etc), and extract frames to be
decoded by another API.
However avformat_find_stream_info and avformat_open_input take way too
long (about 5 seconds for 2K streams). These functions seem to consume
way too much data than necessary (around 4MB).
I tried reducing "probesize" and "analyzeduration" parameters with mixed
results. Sometimes it indeed does speed up mentioned function calls;
however they often just result in the functions failing (i.e. they don't
get enough data to provide me with all the information I need).
So my question is: Is there a way to tell FFMPEG to stop analyzing the
stream once it gathers all the basic information (video width/height,
h.264/HEVC extra data or audio sample rate/number of channels) ?
I really need a way of speeding up these two function calls (5 seconds
is not acceptable for my needs).
Thanks in advance,
Nikola
