These fields are supposed to store information about the packet the frame was decoded from, specifically the byte offset it was stored at and its size. However, - the fields are highly ad-hoc - there is no strong reason why specifically those (and not any other) packet properties should have a dedicated field in AVFrame; unlike e.g. the timestamps, there is no fundamental link between coded packet offset/size and decoded frames - they only make sense for frames produced by decoding demuxed packets, and even then it is not always the case that the encoded data was stored in the file as a contiguous sequence of bytes (in order for pos to be well-defined) - pkt_pos was added without much explanation, apparently to allow passthrough of this information through lavfi in order to handle byte seeking in ffplay. That is now implemented using arbitrary user data passthrough in AVFrame.opaque_ref. - several filters use pkt_pos as a variable available to user-supplied expressions, but there seems to be no established motivation for using them. - pkt_size was added for use in ffprobe, but that too is now handled without using this field. Additonally, the values of this field produced by libavcodec are flawed, as described in the previous ffprobe conversion commit. In summary - these fields are ill-defined and insufficiently motivated, so deprecate them. |
