ffmpeg V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR的解决方法

利用ffmpeg进行视频采集时经常出现“V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR”的错误，并不再进行下帧的采集。通过借鉴下面的方法，对ffmpeg3.0.7版本进行补丁，能解决此类问题。

当某帧出错后，能继续进行后续的采集。

It’s not sufficient just to throw away the corrupted buffers as I have noticed that the first few legitimate buffers appear at slightly irregular time intervals leading to FFmpeg spewing out a bunch of warnings for the duration of the capture. In my tests around 3 buffers have to be ignored but I’ve fixed it at 8 to be on the safe side. It’s a bit ugly though, to be honest, I don’t know how the number of buffers that need to be ignored would depend on the framerate, video size etc, but it works for my 1080i test. With this patch, you get some warnings at the start, for both devices, as it encounters (and recovers from) the corrupted buffers but after that the captures work just fine. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Congratulations, you've ended up with a workaround which works for you, for such a mysterious issue :) I still don't know what exactly causes this error condition on original layer (I suppose that's some "panic" in the peripheral device), but I guess that due to rarity of this condition, V4L2 code developers (in both kernel and ffmpeg) just haven't had an opportunity to debug such situations and handled this error condition formally, without experience of running into it, and knowledge why it happens and how it could be handled in most resilient way. (Maybe this should NOT be handled in resilient way in theory, but still works for your case.) So you had to pave your own way here. Maybe comments from senior V4L2 developers shed more lights on this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Well I’ve posted it to the FFmpeg dev list for feedback, so we will see.

Non-default mode - yes maybe it needs to be optional. And/or only have an effect at the start of the capture; I am concerned that in some situation where a capture momentarily loses signal and delivers a corrupted buffer that my patch would then actually do more than an end user would require by ignoring subsequent buffers and maybe turning it into a bigger issue.

I had it outputting the timestamps of all the buffers received and it clearly showed that 2-3 of them are stamped closer together. It’s as if something is taking extra time to recover from whatever was causing the original problem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
