Stagefright (3) - 選擇Video Decoder

在《Stagefright (1) – Video Playback的流程》中，我們並沒有詳述 Stagefright是如何根據影片檔的類型來選擇適合的video decoder，現在，就讓我們來看一看。

(1) Video decoder是在onPrepareAsyncEvent中的initVideoDecoder被決定的

OMXCodec::Create() 會回傳video decoder給mVideoSource。

status_t AwesomePlayer::initVideoDecoder()
{
  mVideoSource = OMXCodec::Create(mClient.interface(),
                                  mVideoTrack->getFormat(),
                                  false,
                                  mVideoTrack);
}

sp<MediaSource> OMXCodec::Create(&omx, &meta, createEncoder, &source, matchComponentName)
{
  meta->findCString(kKeyMIMEType, &mime);

  findMatchingCodecs(mime, ..., &matchingCodecs); ........ (2)

  for (size_t i = 0; i < matchingCodecs.size(); ++i)
  {
    componentName = matchingCodecs[i].string();

    softwareCodec =
        InstantiateSoftwareCodec(componentName, ...); ..... (3)

    if (softwareCodec != NULL) return softwareCodec;
        
    err = omx->allocateNode(componentName, ..., &node); ... (4)

    if (err == OK)
    {
      codec = new OMXCodec(..., componentName, ...); ...... (5)
      return codec;
    }
  }
}


(2) 根據mVideoTrack的MIME從 kDecoderInfo挑出合適的components

void OMXCodec::findMatchingCodecs(mime, ..., matchingCodecs)
{
  for (int index = 0;; ++index)
  {
    componentName = GetCodec(
                       kDecoderInfo,
                       sizeof(kDecoderInfo)/sizeof(kDecoderInfo[0]),
                       mime,
                       index);

    matchingCodecs->push(String8(componentName));
  }
}

static const CodecInfo kDecoderInfo[] =
{
  ...
  { MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_MPEG4, "OMX.qcom.video.decoder.mpeg4" },
  { MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_MPEG4, "OMX.TI.Video.Decoder" },
  { MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_MPEG4, "M4vH263Decoder" },
  ...
}

GetCodec會依據mime從kDecoderInfo挑出所有的 component name，然後存到matchingCodecs中。


(3) 根據matchingCodecs中component的順序，我們會先去檢查其是否為software decoder

static sp<MediaSource> InstantiateSoftwareCodec(name, ...)
{
  FactoryInfo kFactoryInfo[] =
  {
    ...
    FACTORY_REF(M4vH263Decoder)
    ...
  };

  for (i = 0; i < sizeof(kFactoryInfo)/sizeof(kFactoryInfo[0]); ++i)
  {
    if (!strcmp(name, kFactoryInfo[i].name))
      return (*kFactoryInfo[i].CreateFunc)(source);
  }
}

所有的 software decoder都會被列在kFactoryInfo中，我們藉由傳進來的name來對應到適合的decoder。


(4) 如果該component不是software decoder，則試著去配置對應的OMX component

status_t OMX::allocateNode(name, ..., node)
{
  mMaster->makeComponentInstance(
                           name,
                           &OMXNodeInstance::kCallbacks,
                           instance,
                           handle);
}

OMX_ERRORTYPE OMXMaster::makeComponentInstance(name, ...)
{
  plugin->makeComponentInstance(name, ...);
}

OMX_ERRORTYPE OMXPVCodecsPlugin::makeComponentInstance(name, ...)
{
  return OMX_MasterGetHandle(..., name, ...);
}

OMX_ERRORTYPE OMX_MasterGetHandle(...)
{
  return OMX_GetHandle(...);
}


(5) 若該component為OMX deocder，則回傳；否則繼續檢查下一個omponent。
