From b54377b3a7cd427bc121af003f12c36a32169a74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ho Ming Shun Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 17:04:35 +0800 Subject: avcodec/mmaldec: use decoupled dataflow MMAL is an fundamentally an asynchronous decoder, which was a bad fit for the legacy dataflow API. Often multiple packets are enqueued before a flood of frames are returned from MMAL. The previous lockstep dataflow meant that any delay in returning packets from the VPU would cause ctx->queue_decoded_frames to grow with no way of draining the queue. Testing this with mpv streaming from a live RTSP source visibly reduced latency introduced by frames waiting in queue_decoded_frames from roughly 2s to 0.
