FFmpeg API 变更记录

悠悠 2022-06-10 23:28 207阅读 0赞

最近一两年内FFmpeg项目发展的速度很快，本来是一件好事。但是随之而来的问题就是其API（接口函数）一直在发生变动。这么一来基于旧一点版本的FFmpeg的程序的代码在最新的类库上可能就跑不通了。

例如一年前的程序中，获取媒体信息使用的函数是av\_find\_stream\_info()。但是最近的版本中，av\_find\_stream\_info()函数已经无法使用了，取而代之的是avformat\_find\_stream\_info()。再比如，早一些的程序中，打开解码器可以使用avcodec\_open()，但是新版本的程序中必须使用avcodec\_open2()。而早期版本的FFmpeg中打开媒体的函数av\_open\_input\_file()也已经被avformat\_open\_input()所取代。可以看出一些与libavformat相关的av\_\*\*\*()都变更为了avformat\_\*\*\*()，这一趋势也说明FFmpeg的API正在慢慢朝着“名称更加规范”的方向发展。

在FFmpeg的doc目录下碰巧看到了一个FFmpeg的API变更记录，记载了到今天为止FFmpeg所有的API变化情况，在这里记录一下。

整个文件中主要有三种记录：

> Add：新增的
> 
> Change/Rename：修改的
> 
> Deprecate：过时的。以后很有可能删除。
> 
> Remove：删除的  
>

文件位于doc/APIchanges，内容如下。

Never assume the API of libav\* to be stable unless at least 1 month has passed  
since the last major version increase or the API was added.  
  
  
The last version increases were:  
libavcodec:    2014-08-09  
libavdevice:   2014-08-09  
libavfilter:   2014-08-09  
libavformat:   2014-08-09  
libavresample: 2014-08-09

  Rename CodecID to AVCodecID and all CODEC\_ID\_\* to AV\_CODEC\_ID\_\*.  
  To provide backwards compatibility, CodecID is now \#defined as AVCodecID.

2009-04-30 - ce1d9c8 - lavc 52.28.0 - av\_free\_packet()  
  av\_free\_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.  
  
  
2009-04-11 - 80d403f - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av\_destruct\_packet\_nofree()  
  Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506  
  (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).  
  
  
2009-04-07 - 7a00bba - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec\_decode\_video/audio/subtitle  
  The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the  
  new functions avcodec\_decode\_video2(), avcodec\_decode\_audio3() and  
  avcodec\_decode\_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket \*pkt  
  argument instead of a const uint8\_t \*buf / int buf\_size pair.  
  
  
2009-04-03 - 7b09db3 - lavu 50.3.0 - av\_fifo\_space()  
  Introduce the av\_fifo\_space() function.  
  
  
2009-04-02 - fabd246 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket  
  Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to  
  libavcodec/avcodec.h.  
  
  
2009-03-22 - 6e08ca9 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats  
  Convert the pixel formats PIX\_FMT\_ARGB, PIX\_FMT\_RGBA, PIX\_FMT\_ABGR,  
  PIX\_FMT\_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.  
  Conversely PIX\_FMT\_RGB32, PIX\_FMT\_RGB32\_1, PIX\_FMT\_BGR32 and  
  PIX\_FMT\_BGR32\_1 are now macros.  
  avcodec\_get\_pix\_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.  
  Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.  
  This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.  
  
  
2009-03-22 - f82674e - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX\_FMT\_RGB5X5 endian variants  
  Add the enum PixelFormat values:  
  PIX\_FMT\_RGB565BE, PIX\_FMT\_RGB565LE, PIX\_FMT\_RGB555BE, PIX\_FMT\_RGB555LE,  
  PIX\_FMT\_BGR565BE, PIX\_FMT\_BGR565LE, PIX\_FMT\_BGR555BE, PIX\_FMT\_BGR555LE.  
  
  
2009-03-21 - ee6624e - lavu 50.0.0  - av\_random\*  
  The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av\_random\* functions  
  was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av\_lfg\* functions  
  instead.  
  
  
2009-03-08 - 41dd680 - lavu 50.0.0  - AVFifoBuffer  
  av\_fifo\_init, av\_fifo\_read, av\_fifo\_write and av\_fifo\_realloc were dropped  
  and replaced by av\_fifo\_alloc, av\_fifo\_generic\_read, av\_fifo\_generic\_write  
  and av\_fifo\_realloc2.  
  In addition, the order of the function arguments of av\_fifo\_generic\_read  
  was changed to match av\_fifo\_generic\_write.  
  The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by  
  applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.  
  
  
2009-03-01 - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API  
  Introduce a new metadata API (see av\_metadata\_get() and friends).  
  The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially  
  includes the following structure fields:  
    - AVFormatContext.title  
    - AVFormatContext.author  
    - AVFormatContext.copyright  
    - AVFormatContext.comment  
    - AVFormatContext.album  
    - AVFormatContext.year  
    - AVFormatContext.track  
    - AVFormatContext.genre  
    - AVStream.language  
    - AVStream.filename  
    - AVProgram.provider\_name  
    - AVProgram.name  
    - AVChapter.title
