Descriptive name for the format, meant to be more human-readable than name.

You should use the NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL() macro to define it.

Can use flags: AVFMT_NOFILE, AVFMT_NEEDNUMBER, AVFMT_SHOW_IDS, AVFMT_GENERIC_INDEX, AVFMT_TS_DISCONT, AVFMT_NOBINSEARCH, AVFMT_NOGENSEARCH, AVFMT_NO_BYTE_SEEK, AVFMT_SEEK_TO_PTS.

If extensions are defined, then no probe is done.

You should usually not use extension format guessing because it is not reliable enough

Tell if a given file has a chance of being parsed as this format.

The buffer provided is guaranteed to be AVPROBE_PADDING_SIZE bytes big so you do not have to check for that unless you need more.

Read the format header and initialize the AVFormatContext structure.

Return 0 if OK. Only used in raw format right now. 'avformat_new_stream' should be called to create new streams.

Read one packet and put it in 'pkt'.

pts and flags are also set. 'avformat_new_stream' can be called only if the flag AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER is used and only in the calling thread (not in a background thread).

Returns

0 on success, < 0 on error. When returning an error, pkt must not have been allocated or must be freed before returning

Parameters

stream_index Must not be -1.

flags Selects which direction should be preferred if no exact match is available.

Returns

>= 0 on success (but not necessarily the new offset)

Seek to timestamp ts.

Seeking will be done so that the point from which all active streams can be presented successfully will be closest to ts and within min/max_ts. Active streams are all streams that have AVStream.discard < AVDISCARD_ALL.
