Postprocessing Decoder
======================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION
This example adds postprocessing to the simple decoder loop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION


Initializing Postprocessing
---------------------------
You must inform the codec that you might request postprocessing at
initialization time. This is done by passing the VPX_CODEC_USE_POSTPROC
flag to `vpx_codec_dec_init`. If the codec does not support
postprocessing, this call will return VPX_CODEC_INCAPABLE. For
demonstration purposes, we also fall back to default initialization if
the codec does not provide support.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DEC_INIT
/* Initialize codec */
res = vpx_codec_dec_init(&codec, interface, NULL,
                         VPX_CODEC_USE_POSTPROC);
if(res == VPX_CODEC_INCAPABLE) {
    printf("NOTICE: Postproc not supported by %s\n",
           vpx_codec_iface_name(interface));
    res = vpx_codec_dec_init(&codec, interface, NULL, flags);
}
if(res)
    die_codec(&codec, "Failed to initialize decoder");
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DEC_INIT


Using Adaptive Postprocessing
-----------------------------
VP6 provides "adaptive postprocessing." It will automatically select the
best postprocessing filter on a frame by frame basis based on the amount
of time remaining before the user's specified deadline expires. The
special value 0 indicates that the codec should take as long as
necessary to provide the best quality frame. This example gives the
codec 15ms (15000us) to return a frame. Remember that this is a soft
deadline, and the codec may exceed it doing its regular processing. In
these cases, no additional postprocessing will be done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DECODE
/* Decode the frame with 15ms deadline */
if(vpx_codec_decode(&codec, frame, frame_sz, NULL, 15000))
    die_codec(&codec, "Failed to decode frame");
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DECODE


Codec Specific Postprocessing Controls
--------------------------------------
Some codecs provide fine grained controls over their built-in
postprocessors. VP8 is one example. The following sample code toggles
postprocessing on and off every 15 frames.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRE_DECODE
#if CONFIG_VP8_DECODER
if(frame_cnt%30 == 1) {
    vp8_postproc_cfg_t  pp = {0, 0, 0};

    if(vpx_codec_control(&codec, VP8_SET_POSTPROC, &pp))
        die_codec(&codec, "Failed to turn off postproc");
} else if(frame_cnt%30 == 16) {
    vp8_postproc_cfg_t  pp = {VP8_DEBLOCK | VP8_DEMACROBLOCK, 4, 0};

    if(vpx_codec_control(&codec, VP8_SET_POSTPROC, &pp))
        die_codec(&codec, "Failed to turn on postproc");
};
#endif
