1Decoder firmware API description
2================================
3
4Note: this API is part of the decoder firmware, so it's cx23415 only.
5
6-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7
8Name 	CX2341X_DEC_PING_FW
9Enum 	0/0x00
10Description
11	This API call does nothing. It may be used to check if the firmware
12	is responding.
13
14-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15
16Name 	CX2341X_DEC_START_PLAYBACK
17Enum 	1/0x01
18Description
19	Begin or resume playback.
20Param[0]
21	0 based frame number in GOP to begin playback from.
22Param[1]
23	Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal
24	audio resumes. (This is not implemented in the firmware, leave at 0)
25
26-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27
28Name 	CX2341X_DEC_STOP_PLAYBACK
29Enum 	2/0x02
30Description
31	Ends playback and clears all decoder buffers. If PTS is not zero,
32	playback stops at specified PTS.
33Param[0]
34	Display 0=last frame, 1=black
35	Note: this takes effect immediately, so if you want to wait for a PTS,
36	then use '0', otherwise the screen goes to black at once.
37	You can call this later (even if there is no playback) with a 1 value
38	to set the screen to black.
39Param[1]
40	PTS low
41Param[2]
42	PTS high
43
44-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45
46Name 	CX2341X_DEC_SET_PLAYBACK_SPEED
47Enum 	3/0x03
48Description
49	Playback stream at speed other than normal. There are two modes of
50	operation:
51	    Smooth: host transfers entire stream and firmware drops unused
52		    frames.
53	    Coarse: host drops frames based on indexing as required to achieve
54		    desired speed.
55Param[0]
56	Bitmap:
57	    0:7  0 normal
58		 1 fast only "1.5 times"
59		 n nX fast, 1/nX slow
60	    30   Framedrop:
61		     '0' during 1.5 times play, every other B frame is dropped
62		     '1' during 1.5 times play, stream is unchanged (bitrate
63			 must not exceed 8mbps)
64	    31   Speed:
65		     '0' slow
66		     '1' fast
67	Note: n is limited to 2. Anything higher does not result in
68	faster playback. Instead the host should start dropping frames.
69Param[1]
70	Direction: 0=forward, 1=reverse
71	Note: to make reverse playback work you have to write full GOPs in
72	reverse order.
73Param[2]
74	Picture mask:
75	    1=I frames
76	    3=I, P frames
77	    7=I, P, B frames
78Param[3]
79	B frames per GOP (for reverse play only)
80	Note: for reverse playback the Picture Mask should be set to I or I, P.
81	Adding B frames to the mask will result in corrupt video. This field
82	has to be set to the correct value in order to keep the timing correct.
83Param[4]
84	Mute audio: 0=disable, 1=enable
85Param[5]
86	Display 0=frame, 1=field
87Param[6]
88	Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal audio
89	resumes. (Not implemented in the firmware, leave at 0)
