[RFC] Informal meeting during ELCE to discuss userspace support for stateless codecs

[RFC] Informal meeting during ELCE to discuss userspace support for stateless codecs

[Hans Verkuil]

Hi all,

I would like to meet up somewhere during the ELCE to discuss userspace support
for stateless (and perhaps stateful as well?) codecs.

It is also planned as a topic during the summit, but I would prefer to prepare
for that in advance, esp. since I myself do not have any experience writing
userspace SW for such devices.

Nicolas, it would be really great if you can participate in this meeting
since you probably have the most experience with this by far.

Looking through the ELCE program I found two timeslots that are likely to work
for most of us (because the topics in the program appear to be boring for us
media types!):

Tuesday from 10:50-15:50

or:

Monday from 15:45 onward

My guess is that we need 2-3 hours or so. Hard to predict.

The basic question that I would like to have answered is what the userspace
component should look like? libv4l-like plugin or a library that userspace can
link with? Do we want more general support for stateful codecs as well that deals
with resolution changes and the more complex parts of the codec API?

I've mailed this directly to those that I expect are most interested in this,
but if someone want to join in let me know.

I want to keep the group small though, so you need to bring relevant experience
to the table.

Regards,

	Hans

Depending on time and availability I might like to join in on this.
Consider me non-essential however and if I'm not around don't wait for me.

I have a desire to work on the codecs for Renesas (although it seems
unlikely to be possible due to licensing issues)

I can offer outdated experience managing the codec firmwares, and
decode/encode stacks for the ST SDK2 player implementation.

However that was 4 or 5 years ago - so I now deny all knowledge of
knowing anything from back then :-)

I have no strong preference there, both work for me.

Should work. There's an speech from Julia that could be interesting,
related to the usage of AI for improving the quality of patches
that could be interesting.

I won't be able to attend on Monday.

I would like to participate in the meeting too.  And Tuesday fits to me, since
I'll arrive to Edinburgh on Monday night.

On Tuesday I would prefer 12:20 onward. Monday works for me.

If we end up with this or similar time slot (compatible with APAC time
zones), do you think it would be possible to set up a video conference
for me and/or Alex to join remotely? I can help figuring out any
necessary infrastructure.

Tomasz

Let's do this Tuesday. Let's meet at the Linux Foundation Registration
Desk at 11:00. I'll try to figure out where we can sit the day before.
Please check your email Tuesday morning for any last minute changes.

Tomasz, it would be nice indeed if we can get you and Paul in as well
using Hangouts on my laptop.

I would very much appreciate it if those who have experience with the
userspace support think about this beforehand and make some requirements
list of what you would like to see.

Regards,

	Hans

I'd like to join in as well. CODA960 on i.MX6 has a stateless JPEG codec
that I'd like to support using the stateless codec API.

A quick update:

As said in my previous email: we'll meet at 11 am at the registration desk.
>From there we go to the Platform 5 Cafe. If that's too crowded/noisy, then
we'll try the Sheraton hotel.

Tomasz, I'll ping you on irc when we found a good spot and we can setup the
Hangouts meeting.

Hope to see you all tomorrow,

I forgot to mention: the spec with the Request API and the stateful+stateless
codec API specification (latest patches from Tomasz and Alexandre) are available
here:

https://hverkuil.home.xs4all.nl/request-api/

Also CC-ed Alexandre and Phillip.

I'll be a little late to the meeting.

Still at hotel finishing my today's presentation.
