2016-07-29doc-rst: Remove the media docbookMauro Carvalho Chehab1-350/+0
Now that all media documentation was converted to Sphinx, we should get rid of the old DocBook one, as we don't want people to submit patches against the old stuff.

2014-07-17[media] v4l: Support extending the v4l2_pix_format structureLaurent Pinchart1-0/+6
The v4l2_pix_format structure has no reserved field. It is embedded in the v4l2_framebuffer structure which has no reserved fields either, and in the v4l2_format structure which has reserved fields that were not previously required to be zeroed out by applications. To allow extending v4l2_pix_format, inline it in the v4l2_framebuffer structure, and use the priv field as a magic value to indicate that the application has set all v4l2_pix_format extended fields and zeroed all reserved fields following the v4l2_pix_format field in the v4l2_format structure. The availability of this API extension is reported to userspace through the new V4L2_CAP_EXT_PIX_FORMAT capability flag. Just checking that the priv field is still set to the magic value at [GS]_FMT return wouldn't be enough, as older kernels don't zero the priv field on return. To simplify the internal API towards drivers zero the extended fields and set the priv field to the magic value for applications not aware of the extensions.

2013-02-06[media] DocBook: media: struct v4l2_capability card field is a UTF-8 stringLaurent Pinchart1-1/+1
The struct v4l2_capability card field stores the device name. That name can be hardcoded in drivers, or be retrieved directly from the device. The later is very common with USB devices. As several devices already report names that include non-ASCII characters, update the field description to use UTF-8.

2012-09-26[media] DocBook: bus_info can no longer be emptyHans Verkuil1-4/+6
During the 2012 Media Workshop it was decided that bus_info as returned by VIDIOC_QUERYCAP can no longer be empty. It should be a unique identifier, and empty strings are obviously not unique.

2012-07-31[media] V4L: Add capability flags for memory-to-memory devicesSylwester Nawrocki1-0/+13
This patch adds new V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M and V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M_MPLANE capability flags that are intended to be used for memory-to-memory (M2M) devices, instead of ORed V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE and V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT. V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M flag is added at the drivers, CAPTURE and OUTPUT capability flags are left untouched and will be removed in future, after a transition period required for existing applications to be adapted to check only for V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M.

2012-01-23[media] V4L2: Add per-device-node capabilitiesHans Verkuil1-3/+33
If V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS is set, then the new device_caps field is filled with the capabilities of the opened device node. The capabilities field traditionally contains the capabilities of the physical device, being a superset of all capabilities available at the several device nodes. E.g., if you open /dev/video0, then if it contains VBI caps then that means that there is a corresponding vbi node as well. And the capabilities field of both the video and vbi nodes should contain identical caps. However, it would be very useful to also have a capabilities field that contains just the caps for the currently open device, hence the new CAP bit and field.

2011-07-28[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directoryMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+303
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c: - In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it should be listed in alphabetical order, not first. - The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/ - The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html - Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that. - Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of merging into this one? Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory.
