MediaCodec 支持的codec list

对于Android Multimedia 来说，无可避免要使用的MediaCodec 支持的Codec List，本文章目的是理清MediaCodecList 是怎么产生的？怎么查看当前MediaCodec 支持的Codec List?

以Android S 为code base 进行分析。

一、Codec Service

系统起来后，Codec Service 也已经ready.

可以在播放MM 下，android console 下 敲 top 看看

  542 audioserver  20   0 2.6G  20M  17M S  5.0   0.6   5:17.14 audioserver

pid 859 就是 codec service.

ls  /proc/859/exe

lrwxrwxrwx   1 mediacodec camera 0 2023-03-27 20:20 exe -> /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.media.omx@1.0-service

再看一下此service 的rc 文件，frameworks\av\services\mediacodec\android.hardware.media.omx@1.0-service.rc

service vendor.media.omx /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.media.omx@1.0-service
    class main
    user mediacodec
    group camera drmrpc mediadrm
    ioprio rt 4
    writepid /dev/cpuset/foreground/tasks

此Service 对应的main 函数在frameworks\av\services\mediacodec\main_codecservice.cpp 中

// Must match location in Android.mk.
static const char kSystemSeccompPolicyPath[] =
        "/system/etc/seccomp_policy/mediacodec.policy";
static const char kVendorSeccompPolicyPath[] =
        "/vendor/etc/seccomp_policy/mediacodec.policy";
int main(int argc __unused, char** argv)
{
    strcpy(argv[0], "media.codec");
    LOG(INFO) << "mediacodecservice starting";
    signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);
    SetUpMinijail(kSystemSeccompPolicyPath, kVendorSeccompPolicyPath);
