ogg demuxer
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This ogg demuxer has two modes of operation, which both share a significant
|
|
amount of code. The first mode is the streaming mode which is automatically
|
|
selected when the demuxer is connected to a non-getrange based element. When
|
|
connected to a getrange based element the ogg demuxer can do full seeking
|
|
with great efficiency.
|
|
|
|
1) the streaming mode.
|
|
|
|
In this mode, the ogg demuxer receives buffers in the _chain() function which
|
|
are then simply submited to the ogg sync layer. Pages are then processed when the
|
|
sync layer detects them, pads are created for new chains and packets are sent to
|
|
the peer elements of the pads.
|
|
|
|
In this mode, no seeking is possible. This is the typical case when the stream is
|
|
read from a network source.
|
|
|
|
In this mode, no setup is done at startup, the pages are just read and decoded.
|
|
A new logical chain is detected when one of the pages has the BOS flag set. At this
|
|
point the existing pads are removed and new pads are created for all the logical
|
|
streams in this new chain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) the random access mode.
|
|
|
|
In this mode, the ogg file is first scanned to detect the position and length of
|
|
all chains. This scanning is performed using a recursive binary search algorithm
|
|
that is explained below.

ogg and the granulepos
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
an ogg streams contains pages with a serial number and a granule pos. The granulepos
|
|
is a number that is codec specific and denotes the 'position' of the last sample in
|
|
the last packet in that page.
|
|
|
|
ogg has therefore no notion about time, it only knows about bytes and granule positions.
|
|
|
|
The granule position is just a number, it can contain gaps or can just be any random
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
theora and the granulepos
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
the granulepos in theora consists of the framenumber of the last keyframe shifted some
|
|
amount of bits plus the number of p/b-frames.
|
|
|
|
This means that given a framenumber or a timestamp one cannot generate the granulepos
|
|
for that frame. eg frame 10 could have several valid granulepos values depending on if
|
|
the last keyframe was on frame 5 or 0. Given a granulepos we can, however, create a
|
|
unique correct timestamp and a framenumber.
|
|
|
|
in a raw theroa stream we use the granulepos as the offset field.
|
|
|
|
The granulepos of an ogg page is the framenumber of the last frame in the page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
vorbis and granulepos
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
the granulepos in vorbis happens to be the same as the sample counter. conversion to and
|
|
from granulepos is therefore easy.
|
|
|
|
in a raw vorbis stream we use the granulepos as the offset field.
|
|
|
|
The granulepos of an ogg page is the sample number of the next page in the ogg stream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What can ogg do?
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
An ogg demuxer can read pages and get the granuleposition from it. It can ask the decoder
|
|
elements to convert a granulepos to time.
|
|
|
|
An ogg demuxer can also get the granulepos of the first and the last page of a stream to
|
|
get the start and end timestamp of that stream. It can also get the length in bytes of
|
|
the stream (when the peer is seekable, that is).
|
|
|
|
An ogg demuxer is therefore basically able to seek to any byte position and timestamp.
|
|
When asked to seek to a given granulepos, the ogg demuxer should always convert the
|
|
value to a timestamp using the peer decoder element conversion function. It can then
|
|
binary search the file to eventually end up on the page with the given granule pos or
|
|
a granulepos with the same timestamp.
|
|
|
|
Seeking in ogg currently
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
When seeking in an ogg, the decoders can choose to forward the seek event as a
|
|
granulepos or a timestamp to the ogg demuxer.
|
|
|
|
In the case of a granulepos, the ogg demuxer will seek back to the beginning of
|
|
the stream and skip pages until it finds one with the requested timestamp.
|
|
|
|
In the case of a timestamp, the ogg demuxer also seeks back to the beginning of
|
|
the stream. For each page it reads, it asks the decoder element to convert the
|
|
granulepos back to a timestamp. The ogg demuxer keeps on skipping pages until the
|
|
page has a timestamp bigger or equal to the requested one.
|
|
|
|
It is therefore important that the decoder elements in vorbis can convert a granulepos
|
|
into a timestamp or never seek on timestamp on the oggdemuxer.
|
|
|
|
The default format on the oggdemuxer source pads is currently defined as a the
|
|
granulepos of the packets, it is also the value of the OFFSET field in the GstBuffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oggmux
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The oggmuxer uses the offset fields to fill in the granulepos in the pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TODO
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
- use the OFFSET field in the GstBuffer to store/read the granulepos as
|
|
opposed to the OFFSET_END field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ogg media mapping
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Ogg defines a mapping for each media type that it embeds.
|
|
|
|
For Vorbis:
|
|
|
|
- 3 header pages, with granulepos 0.
|
|
- 1 page with 1 packet header identification
|
|
- N pages with 2 packets comments and codebooks
|
|
- granulepos is samplenumber of next page
|
|
- one packet can contain a variable number of samples but one frame
|
|
that should be handed to the vorbis decoder.
|
|
|
|
For Theora
|
|
|
|
- 3 header pages, with granulepos 0.
|
|
- 1 page with 1 packet header identification
|
|
- N pages with 2 packets comments and codebooks
|
|
- granulepos is framenumber of last packet in page, where framenumber
|
|
is a combination of keyframe number and p frames since keyframe.
|
|
- one packet contains 1 frame
