NAME

launch_decode - Launch a video decoding frameserver

SYNOPSIS

vid, aid
launch_decode( string:resource, func:callback(vid:source, strtbl:status) )
launch_decode( string:resource, string:opts, func:callback(vid:source, strtbl:status) )
launch_decode( nil, string:opts, func:callback(vid:source, strtbl:status) )

DESCRIPTION

Spawn a new decode frameserver process, with input resource defined by resource . the callback function behaves similarly to that of launch_target . If opts is provided it will be processed based on the capabilities of the decode frameserver. These can be viewed by runnning it from a command-line, like: ARCAN_ARG =help afsrv_decode.

Due to an unfortunate legacy, certain resource names are reserved for special purposes and are prefixed as device:, capture: and stream:.

EXAMPLE

function launch_decode0()


      vid = launch_decode("test.avi", function(source, status)


            print(status.kind);


      end);


      show_image(vid);


      resize_image(vid, VRESW, VRESH);
end
