通過上面的分析，基本可以看到ffmpeg的套路了，首先一個context上下文，上下文里面一個priv_data 指針，然后再插件結構體中有一個priv_data_size，然后回調函數。

結構體定義

首先肯定是AVFormatContext，這個就是上下文，這個結構體太龐大了。特別要注意里面的AVIOContext，這兩個回調可以從自己的內存中讀取數據。另外還有一個AVStream的結構體，專門用來存儲流。

其實想要說明的一些函數是下面的，這些函數可以用來控制輸入流的播放，暫停，跳轉，等，特別是在rtsp等流媒體服務器上，非常有用。
就這些吧，等到后面分析rtsp和rtmp的客戶端的時候，我們再來詳細的講一下這些函數的調用流程，今天就先列出來吧。

/*** Return the next frame of a stream.* This function returns what is stored in the file, and does not validate* that what is there are valid frames for the decoder. It will split what is* stored in the file into frames and return one for each call.

The packet must be freed with av_packet_unref() when* it is no longer needed. For video, the packet contains exactly one frame.* For audio, it contains an integer number of frames if each frame has* a known fixed size (e.g. PCM or ADPCM data). If the audio frames have* a variable size (e.g. MPEG audio), then it contains one frame.** pkt->pts, pkt->dts and pkt->duration are always set to correct* values in AVStream.time_base units (and guessed if the format cannot* provide them). pkt->pts can be AV_NOPTS_VALUE if the video format* has B-frames, so it is better to rely on pkt->dts if you do not* decompress the payload.** @return 0 if OK, < 0 on error or end of file. On error, pkt will be blank*         (as if it came from av_packet_alloc()).** @note pkt will be initialized, so it may be uninitialized, but it must not*       contain data that needs to be freed.*/
