By name: avpipeline description: Architectural patterns and rules for the avpipeline project (portable libav wrapper). triggers: - "avpipeline/**" - "avpipeline"
Project Purpose
Provide a versatile, portable, high-level wrapper to simplify libav usage for building audio/video pipelines.
Architecture
- Kernel: Performs actual packet or frame processing.
- Processor: Wraps a kernel; manages I/O and data flow control.
- Node: Wraps a processor; manages wiring between processors.
- Pipeline: A graph formed by multiple nodes.
- Filters: Used to filter connections between nodes.
- Processing Modes: Kernels can process incoming data or autonomously generate new packets/frames.
Helpers
- Router: Publishes or consumes named streams.
- Monitor: Debugging feature to snoop on packets/frames.
Rules
- SEGFAULT: A SEGFAULT is NEVER libav's fault. It is a bug in our code and MUST be fixed.
