The patch below adds Get/Set Buffer thresholds to VideoProviders. It also add HIGH, BUFFERETIMELOW, BUFFERTIMEHIGH events. The reasoning behind Get/Set Buffer thresholds is that on embedded devices you want to control how much data is in the buffers feeding your decoder. On PC memory may not be an issue but I need a way to control the thresholds. And applications typically want to tweak these settings. When you hit the low/high threshold then a Low/High event can now be generated. You also need a function that means you could poll and find out your buffer occupancy so that is what the GetBufferOccupancy function is for.
I have also added time low and high and this is because you might want to know how much data in terms of playtime you have in your buffers and in fact for ASF files (WMV) there is a preroll setting which means buffer X seconds of data. You could now set the low time threshold and then an event could be raised when this threshold is reached. Again, I hope this is useful and any comments etc would be appreciated. http://www.nabble.com/file/p15613827/directfb_add_buffer_thresholds_videoproviders.patch directfb_add_buffer_thresholds_videoproviders.patch -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Extending-Video-Providers-with-Buffer-Threshold-Setting-Getting-Occupancy-tp15613827p15613827.html Sent from the DirectFB Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list directfb-dev@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
