  137. This document describes the input and output protocols provided by the
  138. libavformat library.
  139. .SH "PROTOCOLS"
  140. .IX Header "PROTOCOLS"
  141. Protocols are configured elements in FFmpeg that enable access to
  142. resources that require specific protocols.
  143. .PP
  144. When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported protocols are
  145. enabled by default. You can list all available ones using the
  146. configure option \*(L"\-\-list\-protocols\*(R".
  147. .PP
  148. You can disable all the protocols using the configure option
  149. \&\*(L"\-\-disable\-protocols\*(R", and selectively enable a protocol using the
  150. option "\-\-enable\-protocol=\fI\s-1PROTOCOL\s0\fR\*(L", or you can disable a
  151. particular protocol using the option
  152. \&\*(R"\-\-disable\-protocol=\fI\s-1PROTOCOL\s0\fR".
  153. .PP
  154. The option \*(L"\-protocols\*(R" of the ff* tools will display the list of
  155. supported protocols.
  156. .PP
  157. A description of the currently available protocols follows.
  158. .Sh "bluray"

  200. a unique resource.
  201. .PP
  202. A \s-1URL\s0 accepted by this protocol has the syntax:

  204. .Vb 1
  205. \&        concat:<URL1>|<URL2>|...|<URLN>
  206. .Ve
  207. .PP
  208. where \fI\s-1URL1\s0\fR, \fI\s-1URL2\s0\fR, ..., \fI\s-1URLN\s0\fR are the urls of the
  209. resource to be concatenated, each one possibly specifying a distinct
  210. protocol.
  211. .PP
  212. For example to read a sequence of files \fIsplit1.mpeg\fR,
  213. \&\fIsplit2.mpeg\fR, \fIsplit3.mpeg\fR with \fBffplay\fR use the
  214. command:
  215. .PP

  241. .IX Subsection "data"
  242. Data in-line in the \s-1URI\s0. See <\fBhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme\fR>.
  243. .PP
  244. For example, to convert a \s-1GIF\s0 file given inline with \fBffmpeg\fR:
  245. .PP
  246. .Vb 1

  258. .Vb 1
  259. \&        ffmpeg -i file:input.mpeg output.mpeg
  260. .Ve
  261. .PP
  262. The ff* tools default to the file protocol, that is a resource
  263. specified with the name \*(L"\s-1FILE\s0.mpeg\*(R" is interpreted as the \s-1URL\s0
  264. \&\*(L"file:FILE.mpeg\*(R".

  272. .IX Item "blocksize"
  273. Set I/O operation maximum block size, in bytes. Default value is
  274. \&\f(CW\*(C`INT_MAX\*(C'\fR, which results in not limiting the requested block size.
  275. Setting this value reasonably low improves user termination request reaction
  276. time, which is valuable for files on slow medium.

  303. to be seekable. Default value is 0.
  304. .PP
  305. \&\s-1NOTE:\s0 Protocol can be used as output, but it is recommended to not do
  306. it, unless special care is taken (tests, customized server configuration
  307. etc.). Different \s-1FTP\s0 servers behave in different way during seek
  308. operation. ff* tools may produce incomplete content due to server limitations.
  309. .Sh "gopher"
  310. .IX Subsection "gopher"
  311. Gopher protocol.
  312. .Sh "hls"
  313. .IX Subsection "hls"
  314. Read Apple \s-1HTTP\s0 Live Streaming compliant segmented stream as

  316. remote \s-1HTTP\s0 resources or local files, accessed using the standard
  317. file protocol.
  318. The nested protocol is declared by specifying
  319. "+\fIproto\fR" after the hls \s-1URI\s0 scheme name, where \fIproto\fR
  320. is either \*(L"file\*(R" or \*(L"http\*(R".

  324. \&        hls+file://path/to/local/resource.m3u8
  325. .Ve
  326. .PP
  327. Using this protocol is discouraged \- the hls demuxer should work
  328. just as well (if not, please report the issues) and is more complete.
  329. To use the hls demuxer instead, simply use the direct URLs to the
  330. m3u8 files.
  331. .Sh "http"
  332. .IX Subsection "http"
  333. \&\s-1HTTP\s0 (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).

  335. This protocol accepts the following options.
  336. .IP "\fBseekable\fR" 4

  355. string describing the libavformat build.
  356. .IP "\fBmultiple_requests\fR" 4
  357. .IX Item "multiple_requests"
  358. Use persistent connections if set to 1. By default it is 0.

  362. .IP "\fBtimeout\fR" 4
  363. .IX Item "timeout"
  364. Set timeout of socket I/O operations used by the underlying low level

  369. Set \s-1MIME\s0 type.
  370. .IP "\fBicy\fR" 4

  374. the \fBicy_metadata_headers\fR and \fBicy_metadata_packet\fR options.
  375. The default is 0.
  376. .IP "\fBicy_metadata_headers\fR" 4
  377. .IX Item "icy_metadata_headers"
  378. If the server supports \s-1ICY\s0 metadata, this contains the \s-1ICY\s0 specific \s-1HTTP\s0 reply
  379. headers, separated with newline characters.
  380. .IP "\fBicy_metadata_packet\fR" 4

  384. .IP "\fBcookies\fR" 4
  385. .IX Item "cookies"
  386. Set the cookies to be sent in future requests. The format of each cookie is the
  387. same as the value of a Set-Cookie \s-1HTTP\s0 response field. Multiple cookies can be

  389. .PP
  390. \fI\s-1HTTP\s0 Cookies\fR
  391. .IX Subsection "HTTP Cookies"
  392. .PP
  393. Some \s-1HTTP\s0 requests will be denied unless cookie values are passed in with the
  394. request. The \fBcookies\fR option allows these cookies to be specified. At
  395. the very least, each cookie must specify a value along with a path and domain.
  396. \&\s-1HTTP\s0 requests that match both the domain and path will automatically include the
  397. cookie value in the \s-1HTTP\s0 Cookie header field. Multiple cookies can be delimited
  398. by a newline.
