AVStream结构体

AVStream是存储每一个视频/音频流信息的结构体。本文分析一下该结构体里重要变量的含义和作用。该结构体位于avformat.h中，首先看一下结构体的定义：

AVStream一些重要的变量如下所示：

int index; 标识该音频/视频流
int id; 流的标识，依赖于具体的容器格式。解码libavformat,编码由用户设置，用户不设置则使用libavformat
AVCodecContext *codec; 流对应与AVCodecContext结构，调用avformat_open_input设置
AVRational time_base; 表示帧时间戳的基本单位。通过该值可以把PTS,DTS转化为真正的时间，其他结构体中也有这个字段，只有AVStream 中的time_base为真正的时间。
int64_t start_time; 流的起始时间，以流的基准时间为单位
int64_t duration; 流的持续时间，如果源文件未指定持续时间，但指定了比特率，则将根据比特率和文件大小估计该值。
int64_t nb_frames; 流中帧的数据，为0或者已知
AVDictionary *metadata; 元数据
AVRational sample_aspect_ratio; 样本长宽比
AVRational avg_frame_rate; 评价帧率，解封装时：在创建流时设置或者在avformat_find_stream_info()中设置；封装时调用avformat_write_header()设置
AVCodecParameters *codecpar; 编解码器参数
int64_t first_dts; 第一个dts
int64_t cur_dts; 当前dts
int probe_packets; 编码器用户probe的包的个数
int codec_info_nb_frames; 在avformat_find_stream_info()期间已经解封装的帧数
AVPacket attached_pic;附带的一些图片
int request_probe; 流探测状态，-1表示完成，0表示没有探测请求，rest执行探测
int skip_to_keyframe; 是否丢弃所有内容直接跳到关键帧
int skip_samples;在下一个数据表解码的帧开始要跳过的采样数
int64_t start_skip_samples;从流的开始要跳过的采样的数量
int64_t first_discard_sample; 如果不是0，从流中丢弃第一个音频的样本
int nb_decoded_frames; 内部解码的帧数

int64_t pts_reorder_error[MAX_REORDER_DELAY+1];
uint8_t pts_reorder_error_count[MAX_REORDER_DELAY+1]; 内部数据从pts到dts

int64_t last_dts_for_order_check; 内部数据用于分析dts和探测mpeg流的错误
uint8_t dts_ordered;
uint8_t dts_misordered;

AVRational display_aspect_ratio; 显示的宽高比
