Enumeration Type Documentation

Enumerator:
AV_PKT_DATA_PALETTE 
AV_PKT_DATA_NEW_EXTRADATA 
AV_PKT_DATA_PARAM_CHANGE 

An AV_PKT_DATA_PARAM_CHANGE side data packet is laid out as follows:

u32le param_flags
s32le channel_count
u64le channel_layout
s32le width
s32le height
AV_PKT_DATA_H263_MB_INFO 

An AV_PKT_DATA_H263_MB_INFO side data packet contains a number of structures with info about macroblocks relevant to splitting the packet into smaller packets on macroblock edges (e.g.

as for RFC 2190). That is, it does not necessarily contain info about all macroblocks, as long as the distance between macroblocks in the info is smaller than the target payload size. Each MB info structure is 12 bytes, and is laid out as follows:

u32le bit offset from the start of the packet
u8 current quantizer at the start of the macroblock
u8 GOB number
u16le macroblock address within the GOB
u8 horizontal MV predictor
u8 vertical MV predictor
u8 horizontal MV predictor for block number 3
u8 vertical MV predictor for block number 3
AV_PKT_DATA_REPLAYGAIN 

This side data should be associated with an audio stream and contains ReplayGain information in form of the AVReplayGain struct.

AV_PKT_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX 

This side data contains a 3x3 transformation matrix describing an affine transformation that needs to be applied to the decoded video frames for correct presentation.

See libavutil/display.h for a detailed description of the data.

AV_PKT_DATA_STEREO3D 

This side data should be associated with a video stream and contains Stereoscopic 3D information in form of the AVStereo3D struct.

AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES 

Recommmends skipping the specified number of samples.

u32le number of samples to skip from start of this packet
u32le number of samples to skip from end of this packet
u8 reason for start skip
u8 reason for end skip (0=padding silence, 1=convergence)
AV_PKT_DATA_JP_DUALMONO 

An AV_PKT_DATA_JP_DUALMONO side data packet indicates that the packet may contain "dual mono" audio specific to Japanese DTV and if it is true, recommends only the selected channel to be used.

u8 selected channels (0=mail/left, 1=sub/right, 2=both)
AV_PKT_DATA_STRINGS_METADATA 

A list of zero terminated key/value strings.

There is no end marker for the list, so it is required to rely on the side data size to stop.

AV_PKT_DATA_SUBTITLE_POSITION 

Subtitle event position.

u32le x1
u32le y1
u32le x2
u32le y2
AV_PKT_DATA_MATROSKA_BLOCKADDITIONAL 

Data found in BlockAdditional element of matroska container.

There is no end marker for the data, so it is required to rely on the side data size to recognize the end. 8 byte id (as found in BlockAddId) followed by data.

AV_PKT_DATA_WEBVTT_IDENTIFIER 

The optional first identifier line of a WebVTT cue.

AV_PKT_DATA_WEBVTT_SETTINGS 

The optional settings (rendering instructions) that immediately follow the timestamp specifier of a WebVTT cue.

AV_PKT_DATA_METADATA_UPDATE 

A list of zero terminated key/value strings.

There is no end marker for the list, so it is required to rely on the side data size to stop. This side data includes updated metadata which appeared in the stream.
