This is a newer API that is intended for decoders like the cuvid wrapper. Until now, the wrapper required to set an awkward "incomplete" hw_frames_ctx to set the device. Now the device can be set directly, and the user can get AV_PIX_FMT_CUDA output for a specific device simply by setting hw_device_ctx.
This still does a dummy ff_get_format() call at init time, and should be fully backward compatible. --- Not sure how to test correctly - it worked with mpv even when I accidentally didn't use the correct VO device. --- libavcodec/cuvid.c | 14 +++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/libavcodec/cuvid.c b/libavcodec/cuvid.c index 288083423e..3453003965 100644 --- a/libavcodec/cuvid.c +++ b/libavcodec/cuvid.c @@ -802,9 +802,17 @@ static av_cold int cuvid_decode_init(AVCodecContext *avctx) goto error; } } else { - ret = av_hwdevice_ctx_create(&ctx->hwdevice, AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_CUDA, ctx->cu_gpu, NULL, 0); - if (ret < 0) - goto error; + if (avctx->hw_device_ctx) { + ctx->hwdevice = av_buffer_ref(avctx->hw_device_ctx); + if (!ctx->hwdevice) { + ret = AVERROR(ENOMEM); + goto error; + } + } else { + ret = av_hwdevice_ctx_create(&ctx->hwdevice, AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_CUDA, ctx->cu_gpu, NULL, 0); + if (ret < 0) + goto error; + } ctx->hwframe = av_hwframe_ctx_alloc(ctx->hwdevice); if (!ctx->hwframe) { -- 2.11.0 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
