## Includes

    #include <gst/codecparsers/gsth264parser.h>

## Description

It offers bitstream parsing in both AVC (length-prefixed) and Annex B (0x000001 start code prefix) format. To identify a NAL unit in a bitstream and parse its headers, first call:

- gst_h264_parser_identify_nalu to identify a NAL unit in an Annex B type bitstream

- gst_h264_parser_identify_nalu_avc to identify a NAL unit in an AVC type bitstream

The following functions are then available for parsing the structure of the GstH264NalUnit, depending on the GstH264NalUnitType:

- From GST_H264_NAL_SLICE to GST_H264_NAL_SLICE_IDR: gst_h264_parser_parse_slice_hdr

- GST_H264_NAL_SEI: gst_h264_parser_parse_sei

- GST_H264_NAL_SPS: gst_h264_parser_parse_sps

- GST_H264_NAL_PPS: gst_h264_parser_parse_pps

- Any other: gst_h264_parser_parse_nal

One of these functions *must* be called on every NAL unit in the bitstream, in order to keep the internal structures of the GstH264NalParser up to date. It is legal to call gst_h264_parser_parse_nal on NAL units of any type, if no special parsing of the current NAL unit is required by the application.

For more details about the structures, look at the ITU-T H.264 and ISO/IEC 14496-10 â€“ MPEG-4 Part 10 specifications, available at:

- ITU-T H.264: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.264

- ISO/IEC 14496-10: http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=56538

### enum GstH264ParserResult

The result of parsing H264 data.

#### Members

GST_H264_PARSER_OK | The parsing succeeded |
GST_H264_PARSER_BROKEN_DATA | The data to parse is broken |
GST_H264_PARSER_BROKEN_LINK | The link to structure needed for the parsing couldn't be found |
GST_H264_PARSER_ERROR | An error occurred when parsing |
GST_H264_PARSER_NO_NAL | No NAL unit found during the parsing |
GST_H264_PARSER_NO_NAL_END | Start of the NAL unit found, but not the end. This will be returned if no start/sync marker for the next NAL unit was found. In this case the parser will assume that the end of the data is also the end of the NAL unit. Whether this assumption is correct or not depends on the context, which only the caller can know, which is why a special result value is returned in this case. If the data is NAL-aligned then GST_H264_PARSER_NO_NAL_END can be treated just like GST_H264_PARSER_OK. If the data is not guaranteed to be NAL-aligned, then the caller probably wants to collect more data until there's another sync marker or the end of the stream has been reached. |
