avio_alloc_context() is the right direction. Here is my implementation
of your "read_fun" which uses a QIODevice
<https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qiodevice.html> instead of std::fstream. libav
calls read_fun when it wants data. opaque will point to your ifs. You
need to read from ifs and fill libav's buffer (*buf) and then return how
many bytes you put into the buffer.
static int read_fun(void *opaque, uint8_t *buf, int bufSize)
{
QIODevice *dataStream = (QIODevice *) opaque;
bufSize = FFMIN(bufSize, dataStream->bytesAvailable());
dataStream->read((char*)buf, bufSize);
return bufSize;
}

Hi,
TL;DR; Any direction on how to feed avformat a buffer of bytes (the
contents of which are a complete file) instead of a file from disk is
all I really need.
Thanks for making this lib it's pretty amazing and I'm just getting
started...
I'm working within a framework in which I receive complete files in
the form of a uint8_t* and length.
At first it seemed like the way to go would be custom IO...
Here's some of the code
//////////////////////
AVFormatContext *fmt = avformat_alloc_context();
std::fstream ifs;
ifs.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(my_data_from_framework), length);
uint8_t *buf = (unsigned char*)av_malloc(8192); // magic number from
web examples
//The read functions below us fstream operations tellg and seekp.
AVIOContext *avio = avio_alloc_context(buf, 8192, 0, (void*)&ifs,
read_fun, NULL, seek_fun);
fmt->pb = avio;
//Some of the docs I read made it seem like passing a NULL for
filename would work.
int status = avformat_open_input(&fmt, NULL, NULL,NULL)
//avformat_open_input is returning -1 and yes the seg fault happens at
the next call below
///////////////
After doing the above I follow up with the following call and get a
segfault
avformat_find_stream_info(fmt, NULL);
The docs and the code in libformat utils.c: init_input (see below)
make it seem like I should be able to do this i.e. set pb on
AVFormatContext but its not doing what I hoped:
325 /* Open input file and probe the format if necessary. */
