The value indicates the frame retention mode defined in OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE. For details about each mode and its behavior, see OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE.
You can configure the mode through OH_VideoDecoder_Configure and OH_VideoDecoder_SetParameter.
Since: 26.0.0
const char * OH_MD_KEY_VIDEO_DECODER_FRAME_RETENTION_RATIO Pointer to the key that describes the frame retention ratio of video decoding. The value type is double. This key takes effect if OH_MD_KEY_VIDEO_DECODER_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE is set to OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE_UNIFORM or the retention mode is not configured (even logic is implicitly used by default).
This key is ignored only when the retention mode is explicitly set to OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE_ADAPTIVE or OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE_FULL.
The valid range is [0.01, 1.0] (where 1.0 indicates that all frames are retained, and 0.01 is the minimum limit). Any value beyond this range is considered invalid and ignored.
You can configure this key through OH_VideoDecoder_Configure and OH_VideoDecoder_SetParameter. For details about each mode and its behavior, see OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE.
Since: 26.0.0
const char * OH_MD_KEY_VIDEO_DECODER_SPEED Pointer to the key that describes the playback speed of the video decoder. The value type is double. This key is used to specify the target playback speed of the video. It is recommended that this key be used together with the OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE_ADAPTIVE mode to assist the perceptual adaptive algorithm in accurately evaluating the impact of frame loss on visual perception.
The value must be strictly greater than 0.0. The recommended standard values include 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 (normal speed), 1.25, 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0. Any value less than or equal to 0.0 is considered invalid.
You can configure this key through OH_VideoDecoder_Configure and OH_VideoDecoder_SetParameter. For details about each mode and its behavior, see OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE.

enum OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE

Description

Enumerates the frame retention modes of video decoding.

Since: 26.0.0

Value Description
OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE_FULL = 0 Full retention mode.
The decoder operates in a transparent passthrough state, retaining 100% of all input frames. In this mode, the frame-skipping function is essentially disabled. All underlying visual perception algorithms are completely bypassed, achieving zero algorithm overhead.
Since: 26.0.0
OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE_ADAPTIVE = 1 Perceptual adaptive retention mode.
The decoder dynamically analyzes video characteristics and preferentially drops frames that have the least impact on visual perception. This minimizes playback experience degradation while maintaining visual smoothness. For optimal algorithmic accuracy, it is highly recommended that you explicitly configure the current playback speed via OH_MD_KEY_VIDEO_DECODER_SPEED.
Since: 26.0.0
OH_FRAME_RETENTION_MODE_UNIFORM = 2 Smooth fixed-ratio retention mode.
Video frames are evenly retained according to the user-configured retention ratio (set via OH_MD_KEY_VIDEO_DECODER_FRAME_RETENTION_RATIO). If the retention ratio is not explicitly configured, the decoder defaults to limiting the output to a maximum of 30 fps.
Since: 26.0.0

Parameters

Name Description
OH_AVCodec *codec Pointer to an OH_AVCodec instance.
int32_t errorCode Error code.
void *userData Pointer to the data on which the caller depends when executing the callback.

OH_AVCodecOnStreamChanged()

typedef void (*OH_AVCodecOnStreamChanged)(OH_AVCodec *codec, OH_AVFormat *format, void *userData)

Description

Defines the pointer to the function that is called to report the new stream description when the resolution of the input video stream being decoded or the output video stream that has been encoded changes.
Starting from API version 15, this function pointer is called to report the new stream description when the stream sampling rate, number of audio channels, or audio sampling format changes during audio decoding. The decoding formats that can detect these changes include AAC, FLAC, MP3, and VORBIS.
Note that the lifecycle of the pointer to the OH_AVFormat instance is valid only when the function pointer is being called. Do not access the pointer to the instance after the function pointer is called.

Parameters

Name Description
OH_AVCodec *codec Pointer to an OH_AVCodec instance.
OH_AVFormat *format Pointer to the description information about the new output stream.
void *userData Pointer to the data on which the caller depends when executing the callback.

OH_AVCodecOnNeedInputData()

typedef void (*OH_AVCodecOnNeedInputData)(OH_AVCodec *codec, uint32_t index, OH_AVMemory *data, void *userData)

Description

Defines the pointer to the function that is called when new input data is required during the running of an OH_AVCodec instance. The function carries a buffer to fill in new input data.

OH_AVCodecOnNewOutputData()

typedef void (*OH_AVCodecOnNewOutputData)(OH_AVCodec *codec, uint32_t index, OH_AVMemory *data, OH_AVCodecBufferAttr *attr, void *userData)

Description

Defines the pointer to the function that is called when new output data is generated during the running of an OH_AVCodec instance. The function carries a buffer filled with new output data. Note that the lifecycle of the pointer to the OH_AVCodecBufferAttr instance is valid only when the function pointer is being called. Do not access the pointer to the instance after the function pointer is called.
