Detailed Description

Abstract interface for video encoder plugins.

Video plugins need to return MI_NEURAY_VIDEO_PLUGIN_TYPE in mi::base::Plugin::get_type().

Member Function Documentation

virtual IVideo_decoder* mi::neuraylib::IVideo_plugin::create_video_decoder ( ) const

pure virtual

Creates a new decoder for a video stream.

virtual IVideo_encoder* mi::neuraylib::IVideo_plugin::create_video_encoder ( ) const

pure virtual

Creates a new encoder for a video stream.

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IVideo_plugin::exit ( IPlugin_api *  plugin_api)

pure virtual

De-initializes the plugin.

Parameters

plugin_api

Provides access to API components available for plugins.

Returns

true in case of success, and false otherwise.

virtual const char* mi::neuraylib::IVideo_plugin::get_name ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the name of the plugin.

For video plugins, typically the name of the video codec is used, for example, "x264".

Note

This method from mi::base::Plugin is repeated here only for documentation purposes.

Implements mi::base::Plugin.

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IVideo_plugin::init ( IPlugin_api *  plugin_api)

pure virtual

Initializes the plugin.

Parameters

plugin_api

Provides access to API components available for plugins.

Returns

true in case of success, and false otherwise.
