VLC源码分析

看了几天VLC2.1.4的源码，不过说是看源码，其实是了解vlc播放rtsp流的代码执行逻辑，目的是先了解其执行路径，然后再看细节。看的时间不多，可能有部分写的不对，如有朋友发现有问题，欢迎指正。

要了解其执行路径，需要先安装vlc，我是通过编译源代码来安装的，这样可以在播放时打印log，方便追踪。编译源码方法如下：

1.安装vlc的依赖环境:

#sudo apt-get build-dep vlc

2. 下载源码在本地,解压:

3.编译安装:

a../bootrap
b../configure --enable-live --enable-debug --enable-run-as-root --prefix=/usr/local/vlc  //备注:要支持播放rtsp流,必须enable live,同理要能打印debug,也要enable debug选项,如果在linux下面要用root账号来启用vlc,要enable run-as-root,最后是指定安装目录路径
c.make
d.make install

4.检查是否安装成功:

root@hmr-VB:/usr/local/vlc# ls
bin  include  lib  share
root@hmr-VB:/usr/local/vlc# cd bin/
root@hmr-VB:/usr/local/vlc/bin# ls
cvlc  nvlc  qvlc  rvlc  svlc  vlc  vlc-wrapper
root@hmr-VB:/usr/local/vlc/bin#
5.vlc播放rtsp流是使用的live555库,live555也可以用源码编译安装,这样方便学习vlc的代码.

a.下载源码,解压;

b.编译:

./genMakefile linux
make

对于live555库的分析,有个朋友写了学习笔记,个人感觉是比较详细,有兴趣的可以去看看

 

使用vlc搭建RTSP流服务器:

1.启动vlc;

2.菜单:媒体->流->文件(添加)->串流->新目标中选择RTSP,点击添加->设置端口号和流名称(可以使用默认的)->选择转码,建议使用Video-MPEG2+MPGA(TS),用这个客户端能够比较好的播放,具体原因未知

 

vlc的代码结构主要如下：

1.lib目录：该目录是vlc提供的一些库，用于支持二次开发，比如用这些接口实现自己的播放器；

2.src目录：vlc的核心源码，readme文件的描述是：libvlccore source code.

3.modules目录：vlc的组件和插件源码，vlc开发用了比较多面向对象的编程方法，很多功能通过组件的方式提供，然后用函数指针加载，实现会简单，但是个人感觉这正是学习vlc源码可读性差的地方，开源代码可读性都不怎么样，不像企业更多追求可读性。

4.bin目录：这个目录代码很少，readme的描述是VLC binaries.没怎么了解，但是这个目录的vlc.c中定义了一个main函数，是程序入口。

现在把主要代码路径贴一下：

main()(bin/vlc.c)<-libvlc_new()<-libvlc_InternalInit()<-module_InitBank()//这里执行了较多接口,module_InitBank是初始化module,然后解析执行命令中的参数等,当然包含一个主角GetFilenames(),该接口会创建一个playlist.playlist代表vlc播放的一个节目.

pl_Get()->playlist_Create()(engine.c)->playlist_MLload()&playlist_Active()->Thread->LoopRequest()->playItem()->input_Create()&input_Start()->Run()->Init()->InputSourceInit()

这个为创建输入的主流程,playlist_MLload()会调用module_need加载一些模块,InputSourceInit()也会调用module_need加载模块,看log时要注意这点.

在播放RTSP流时,必须创建一个input,并对应一个节目,创建input和节目的流程见前面所述,这里说明下建立rtsp session的过程:

InputSourceInit()->demux_New()->module_need()->vlc_module_load()->module_load()->m_pfactive()(对应的是open函数)->connect()&session_setup();

connect()接口使用live555库先发送rtsp:option,服务端响应后发送rtsp:describe,得到服务器响应的describe后从connect()返回,此时已经解析到了sdp信息,然后调用session_setup()创建RTP session.session_setup先发送两个Setup到服务端并等待响应,setup交互过程中指定了服务器端和客户端的udp端口号,这样客户端可以创建socket接收RTP数据.客户端发送rtsp:play后服务端会开始发送音视频数据.由于时间关系,只分析了这部分流程,后面有时间看看能否补充.

后面贴一下使用vlc播放rtsp流的log信息,还有很多没有没分析,已分析的有标注调用路径,有些log是我自己加的,不影响分析.

进入vlc安装目录的bin目录,执行以下命令播放:

./vlc -vvv rtsp://192.168.x.x:8554/  //备注:192.168.x.x时rtsp流服务器的ip地址,我是用vlc搭流服务器,option -vvv会打印log,如果不需要log,不加该选项即可
