Hi all,

I’m new to this list so forgive me if this has been answered before.

With version 2.8 of the libraries I saw the addition of Video Toolbox hardware 
decoding support (on Mac OS X that is).

But I can’t find much documentation on how to use it. There are some clues in 
the header files on how to set it up, but there’s no docs on how to do the 
actual decoding.

I have compiled version 2.8.1 of the libraries and I can confirm that the Video 
Toolbox hwaccels are there:

Enabled hwaccels:
h263_videotoolbox       mpeg1_videotoolbox      mpeg4_videotoolbox
h264_videotoolbox       mpeg2_videotoolbox

In my player app I have setup an AVVideotoolboxContext like described in the 
headers. 

if (self.codecContext->codec_id == AV_CODEC_ID_H264) {
        _videoToolboxContext = av_videotoolbox_alloc_context();
        int result = av_videotoolbox_default_init2(self.codecContext, 
self.videoToolboxContext);
        if (result != 0) {
            NSLog(@"Failed to init video toolbox");
            _videoToolboxContext = NULL;
        }
 }

_codec = avcodec_find_decoder(self.codecContext->codec_id);

Everything seems to work fine and the _videoToolboxContext is properly 
allocated.

But how do I go about actually decoding using it?

Anyone with any experience from this?

best regards / Jörgen Isaksson
