Tizen Native API  6.0
Media Demuxer

The Media Demuxer APIs provides functions for demuxing media data.

Required Header

#include <mediademuxer.h>

Overview

MEDIADEMUXER API allows :
1) To extract elementary audio, video or text data from a multiplexed stream
2) To choose one or multiple desired stream to extract.
3) To choose the local or remote input source.
4) To create single or multiple instances of media demuxer. One instance can demux only one
input stream
5) To demux all the popular media formats such as MP4, AAC-NB, AAC-WB, MP3 etc.
6) To extract elementary media sample information, such as timestamp, sample size, key-frame(I-frame) etc.
7) To identify encrypted format
8) To seek to a different position-forward or backward- while extracting

Typical Call Flow of mediamuxer APIs is:
