[vlc-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/6] Asynchronous MediaCodec

This series of patches set the MediaCodec decoder asynchronous.

MediaCodec pf_decode_video will always return immediately and send the p_block
to the input thread.

The output thread will send decoded picture to the renderer thread via the new
decoder_QueuePicture call. (MediaCodec can still work without this last patch).

It's not done yet, But I plan to also use QueueThread for omx too. Adding an
input thread seems to fix omx on nvidia K1 (and some others maybe).

These patches are not ready to be merged since MediaCodec is broken on last
master.

Thomas Guillem (6):
  mediacodec: process input buffers in only one place
  mediacodec: handle error_state in one place
  omxil/mediacodec: add QueueThread
  mediacodec: process input buffers in a separate thread
  decoder: add decoder_QueuePicture
  mediacodec: process output buffers in a separate thread
