Detailed Description

Superclass of all handlers of frame events.

This is a synthetic handler that does not appear in the RTMP Command Messages section of the Adobe RTMP specification [RTMPSPEC10] but is required to allow the RTMP server to maintain the correct frame rate of video streams. It is running in another thread than the render thread which means implementers need to think about synchronization. It should also never use more time than 1/framerate for an optimal client-side experience.

Member Function Documentation

 handle()

virtual bool mi::rtmp::IFrame_event_handler::handle ( IStream stream,
neuraylib::IVideo_data **  out,
bool  outqueue_is_full 
)
pure virtual

Called on a frame event.

When the outqueue_is_full parameter is set the bandwidth is either not enough or the client is not consuming the frames fast enough. Encoding a new large frame will then queue up data which will degrade interactivity. Perhaps encoding the old canvas would then be preferable as most codecs in that case produce very small P-frames.

Note
The stream parameter is only valid during the call of the handle() method and cannot be stored (even if proper reference counting is used).
Parameters
streamThe stream on which the frame handler is registered.
[out]outAn empty video frame that should be filled with video encoded frame data.
outqueue_is_fullSet to true when the sending queue to the client is buffering up.
Returns
true in case of success, or false if an error occurred and the stream should be stopped by the RTMP server.
