It +can be accessed through /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0. Data types and and +ioctl definitions can be accessed by including linux/dvb/video.h in your +application. + +Note that the DVB video device only controls decoding of the MPEG video stream, not +its presentation on the TV or computer screen. On PCs this is typically handled by an +associated video4linux device, e.g. /dev/video, which allows scaling and defining output +windows. + +Some DVB cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which results in the omission of +the audio and video device as well as the video4linux device. + +The ioctls that deal with SPUs (sub picture units) and navigation packets are only +supported on some MPEG decoders made for DVD playback. + +
+Video Data Types + +
+video_format_t +The video_format_t data type defined by + + + typedef enum { + VIDEO_FORMAT_4_3, + VIDEO_FORMAT_16_9 + } video_format_t; + +is used in the VIDEO_SET_FORMAT function (??) to tell the driver which aspect ratio +the output hardware (e.g. TV) has. It is also used in the data structures video_status +(??) returned by VIDEO_GET_STATUS (??) and video_event (??) returned by +VIDEO_GET_EVENT (??) which report about the display format of the current video +stream. + +
+ +
+video_display_format_t +In case the display format of the video stream and of the display hardware differ the +application has to specify how to handle the cropping of the picture. This can be done using +the VIDEO_SET_DISPLAY_FORMAT call (??) which accepts + + + typedef enum { + VIDEO_PAN_SCAN, + VIDEO_LETTER_BOX, + VIDEO_CENTER_CUT_OUT + } video_display_format_t; + +as argument. + +
+ +
+video stream source +The video stream source is set through the VIDEO_SELECT_SOURCE call and can take +the following values, depending on whether we are replaying from an internal (demuxer) or +external (user write) source. + + + typedef enum { + VIDEO_SOURCE_DEMUX, + VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY + } video_stream_source_t; + +VIDEO_SOURCE_DEMUX selects the demultiplexer (fed either by the frontend or the +DVR device) as the source of the video stream. If VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY +is selected the stream comes from the application through the write() system +call. + +
+ +
+video play state +The following values can be returned by the VIDEO_GET_STATUS call representing the +state of video playback. + + + typedef enum { + VIDEO_STOPPED, + VIDEO_PLAYING, + VIDEO_FREEZED + } video_play_state_t; + +
+ +
+struct video_event +The following is the structure of a video event as it is returned by the VIDEO_GET_EVENT +call. + + + struct video_event { + int32_t type; + time_t timestamp; + union { + video_format_t video_format; + } u; + }; + +
+ +
+struct video_status +The VIDEO_GET_STATUS call returns the following structure informing about various +states of the playback operation. + + + struct video_status { + boolean video_blank; + video_play_state_t play_state; + video_stream_source_t stream_source; + video_format_t video_format; + video_displayformat_t display_format; + }; + +If video_blank is set video will be blanked out if the channel is changed or if playback is +stopped. Otherwise, the last picture will be displayed. play_state indicates if the video is +currently frozen, stopped, or being played back. The stream_source corresponds to the seleted +source for the video stream. It can come either from the demultiplexer or from memory. +The video_format indicates the aspect ratio (one of 4:3 or 16:9) of the currently +played video stream. Finally, display_format corresponds to the selected cropping +mode in case the source video format is not the same as the format of the output +device. + +
+ +
+struct video_still_picture +An I-frame displayed via the VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call is passed on within the +following structure. + + + /⋆ pointer to and size of a single iframe in memory ⋆/ + struct video_still_picture { + char ⋆iFrame; + int32_t size; + }; + +
+ +
+video capabilities +A call to VIDEO_GET_CAPABILITIES returns an unsigned integer with the following +bits set according to the hardwares capabilities. + + + /⋆ bit definitions for capabilities: ⋆/ + /⋆ can the hardware decode MPEG1 and/or MPEG2? ⋆/ + #define VIDEO_CAP_MPEG1 1 + #define VIDEO_CAP_MPEG2 2 + /⋆ can you send a system and/or program stream to video device? + (you still have to open the video and the audio device but only + send the stream to the video device) ⋆/ + #define VIDEO_CAP_SYS 4 + #define VIDEO_CAP_PROG 8 + /⋆ can the driver also handle SPU, NAVI and CSS encoded data? + (CSS API is not present yet) ⋆/ + #define VIDEO_CAP_SPU 16 + #define VIDEO_CAP_NAVI 32 + #define VIDEO_CAP_CSS 64 + +
+ +
+video system +A call to VIDEO_SET_SYSTEM sets the desired video system for TV output. The +following system types can be set: + + + typedef enum { + VIDEO_SYSTEM_PAL, + VIDEO_SYSTEM_NTSC, + VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALN, + VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALNc, + VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALM, + VIDEO_SYSTEM_NTSC60, + VIDEO_SYSTEM_PAL60, + VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALM60 + } video_system_t; + +
+ +
+struct video_highlight +Calling the ioctl VIDEO_SET_HIGHLIGHTS posts the SPU highlight information. The +call expects the following format for that information: + + + typedef + struct video_highlight { + boolean active; /⋆ 1=show highlight, 0=hide highlight ⋆/ + uint8_t contrast1; /⋆ 7- 4 Pattern pixel contrast ⋆/ + /⋆ 3- 0 Background pixel contrast ⋆/ + uint8_t contrast2; /⋆ 7- 4 Emphasis pixel-2 contrast ⋆/ + /⋆ 3- 0 Emphasis pixel-1 contrast ⋆/ + uint8_t color1; /⋆ 7- 4 Pattern pixel color ⋆/ + /⋆ 3- 0 Background pixel color ⋆/ + uint8_t color2; /⋆ 7- 4 Emphasis pixel-2 color ⋆/ + /⋆ 3- 0 Emphasis pixel-1 color ⋆/ + uint32_t ypos; /⋆ 23-22 auto action mode ⋆/ + /⋆ 21-12 start y ⋆/ + /⋆ 9- 0 end y ⋆/ + uint32_t xpos; /⋆ 23-22 button color number ⋆/ + /⋆ 21-12 start x ⋆/ + /⋆ 9- 0 end x ⋆/ + } video_highlight_t; + + +

+Video Function Calls + + +
+open() +DESCRIPTION + + +This system call opens a named video device (e.g. /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0) + for subsequent use. +When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use. + The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the + documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the + semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later + be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command + of the fcntl system call. This is a standard system call, documented in the Linux + manual page for fcntl. Only one user can open the Video Device in O_RDWR + mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an + error-code will be returned. If the Video Device is opened in O_RDONLY + mode, the only ioctl call that can be used is VIDEO_GET_STATUS. All other + call will return an error code. + + + +SYNOPSIS + + +int open(const char ⋆deviceName, int flags); + + +PARAMETERS + + +const char + *deviceName + +Name of specific video device. + + +int flags + +A bit-wise OR of the following flags: + + + +O_RDONLY read-only access + + + +O_RDWR read/write access + + + +O_NONBLOCK open in non-blocking mode + + + +(blocking mode is the default) + + +ERRORS + + +ENODEV + +Device driver not loaded/available. + + +EINTERNAL + +Internal error. + + +EBUSY + +Device or resource busy. + + +EINVAL + +Invalid argument. + + + +

+
+write() +DESCRIPTION + + +This system call can only be used if VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY is selected + in the ioctl call VIDEO_SELECT_SOURCE. The data provided shall be in + PES format, unless the capability allows other formats. If O_NONBLOCK is + not specified the function will block until buffer space is available. The amount + of data to be transferred is implied by count. + + +SYNOPSIS + + +size_t write(int fd, const void ⋆buf, size_t count); + + +PARAMETERS + + +int fd + +File descriptor returned by a previous call to open(). + + +void *buf + +Pointer to the buffer containing the PES data. + + +size_t count + +Size of buf. + + +ERRORS + + +EPERM + +Mode VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY not selected. + + +ENOMEM + +Attempted to write more data than the internal buffer can + hold. + + +EBADF + +fd is not a valid open file descriptor. + + + +
VIDEO_STOP +DESCRIPTION + + +This ioctl call asks the Video Device to stop playing the current stream. + Depending on the input parameter, the screen can be blanked out or displaying + the last decoded frame. + + +SYNOPSIS + + +int ioctl(fd, int request = VIDEO_STOP, boolean + mode); + + +PARAMETERS + + +int fd + +File descriptor returned by a previous call to open(). + + +int request + +Equals VIDEO_STOP for this command. + + +Boolean mode + +Indicates how the screen shall be handled. + + + +TRUE: Blank screen when stop. + + + +FALSE: Show last decoded frame. + + +ERRORS + + +EBADF + +fd is not a valid open file descriptor + + +EINTERNAL + +Internal error, possibly in the communication with the + DVB subsystem. + + + +

VIDEO_FREEZE +DESCRIPTION + + +This ioctl call suspends the live video stream being played. Decoding + and playing are frozen. It is then possible to restart the decoding + and playing process of the video stream using the VIDEO_CONTINUE + command. If VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY is selected in the ioctl call + VIDEO_SELECT_SOURCE, the DVB subsystem will not decode any more + data until the ioctl call VIDEO_CONTINUE or VIDEO_PLAY is performed. + + +SYNOPSIS + + +int ioctl(fd, int request = VIDEO_FREEZE); + + +PARAMETERS + + +int fd + +File descriptor returned by a previous call to open(). + + +int request + +Equals VIDEO_FREEZE for this command. + + +ERRORS + + +EBADF + +fd is not a valid open file descriptor + + +EINTERNAL + +Internal error, possibly in the communication with the + DVB subsystem. + + + +

VIDEO_GET_EVENT +DESCRIPTION + + +This ioctl call returns an event of type video_event if available. If an event is + not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking or + non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately with errno + set to EWOULDBLOCK. In the former case, the call blocks until an event + becomes available. The standard Linux poll() and/or select() system calls can + be used with the device file descriptor to watch for new events. For select(), + the file descriptor should be included in the exceptfds argument, and for + poll(), POLLPRI should be specified as the wake-up condition. Read-only + permissions are sufficient for this ioctl call. + + +SYNOPSIS + + + int ioctl(fd, int request = VIDEO_GET_EVENT, struct + video_event ⋆ev); + + +PARAMETERS + + +int fd + +File descriptor returned by a previous call to open(). + + +int request + +Equals VIDEO_GET_EVENT for this command. + + +struct video_event + *ev + +Points to the location where the event, if any, is to be + stored. + + +ERRORS + + +EBADF + +fd is not a valid open file descriptor + + +EFAULT + +ev points to invalid address + + +EWOULDBLOCK + +There is no event pending, and the device is in + non-blocking mode. + + +EOVERFLOW + + + + +Overflow in event queue - one or more events were lost. + + + +
