DeFFcode - A cross-platform **High-performance Video Frames Decoder** that flexibly executes
FFmpeg pipeline inside a subprocess pipe for generating real-time, low-overhead,
lightning fast video frames with robust error-handling
in just a few lines of python code ⚡
**Highly Adaptive -** _DeFFcode APIs implements a **standalone highly-extensible wrapper around [FFmpeg][ffmpeg]** multimedia framework. These APIs **supports a wide-ranging media streams as input** source such as [live USB/Virtual/IP camera feeds][capturing-and-previewing-frames-from-a-webcam], [regular multimedia files][decoding-video-files], [screen recordings][capturing-and-previewing-frames-from-your-desktop], [image sequences][decoding-image-sequences], [network URL schemes][decoding-network-streams] (such as HTTP(s), RTP/RSTP, etc.), so on and so forth._
**Highly Flexible -** _DeFFcode APIs gains an edge over other FFmpeg Wrappers by providing **complete control over the underline pipeline** including **access to almost any FFmpeg specification thinkable** such as specifying framerate, resolution, hardware decoder(s), filtergraph(s), and pixel-format(s) that are readily **supported by all well known Computer Vision libraries**._
**Highly Convenient -** _FFmpeg has a steep learning curve especially for users unfamiliar with a command line interface. DeFFcode helps users by providing similar to OpenCV, [**Index based Camera Device Capturing**][decoding-camera-devices-using-indexes] and the **same standard [OpenCV-Python](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d6/d00/tutorial_py_root.html) (Python API for OpenCV) coding syntax for its APIs**, thereby making it even **easier to learn, create, and develop FFmpeg based apps** in Python._
### Key features of DeFFcode
Here are some key features that stand out:
- High-performance, low-overhead video frames decoding with robust error-handling.
- Flexible API with access to almost any FFmpeg specification thinkable.
- Supports a wide-range of media streams/devices/protocols as input source.
- Curated list of well-documented recipes ranging from [**Basic**][basic-recipes] to [**Advanced**][advanced-recipes] skill levels.
- Hands down the easiest [**Index based Camera Device Capturing**][decoding-camera-devices-using-indexes], similar to OpenCV.
- Easy to code **Real-time [Simple][transcoding-live-simple-filtergraphs] & [Complex][transcoding-live-complex-filtergraphs] Filtergraphs**. _(Yes, You read it correctly "Real-time"!)_
- Lightning fast dedicated **GPU-Accelerated Video [Decoding][hardware-accelerated-video-decoding] & [Transcoding][hardware-accelerated-video-transcoding]**.
- Enables precise FFmpeg [**Key-frame Seeking**][extracting-key-frames-as-png-image] with pinpoint accuracy.
- Effortless [**Metadata Extraction**][extracting-video-metadata] from all streams available in the source.
- Maintains the standard easy to learn [**OpenCV-Python**](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d6/d00/tutorial_py_root.html) coding syntax.
- Out-of-the-box support for all prominent Computer Vision libraries.
- Cross-platform, runs on Python 3.7+, and easy to install.

## API in a nutshell:
As a user, you just have to remember only two DeFFcode APIs, namely:
### A. FFdecoder API
The primary function of [**FFdecoder API**][ffdecoder-api] is to **decode 24-bit RGB video frames** from the given source:
> **Note** See [API Reference][ffdecoder-api] for more in-depth information.
```py
# import the necessary packages
from deffcode import FFdecoder
# formulate the decoder with suitable source
decoder = FFdecoder("https://abhitronix.github.io/html/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_1MB.mp4").formulate()
# grab RGB24(default) 3D frames from decoder
for frame in decoder.generateFrame():
# lets print its shape
print(frame.shape) # (1080, 1920, 3)
# terminate the decoder
decoder.terminate()
```
### B. Sourcer API
The primary function of [**Sourcer API**][sourcer-api] is to **gather metadata information from all multimedia streams available** in the given source:
```python
# import the necessary packages
from deffcode import Sourcer
# initialize and formulate the decoder using suitable source
sourcer = Sourcer("https://abhitronix.github.io/html/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_1MB.mp4").probe_stream()
# print metadata as `json.dump`
print(sourcer.retrieve_metadata(pretty_json=True))
```
The resultant Terminal Output will look something as following on Windows machine
```json
{
"ffmpeg_binary_path": "C:\\Users\\foo\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\ffmpeg-static-win64-gpl/bin/ffmpeg.exe",
"source": "https://abhitronix.github.io/html/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_1MB.mp4",
