[docs]class VideoReader: """ Fine-grained video-reading API. Supports frame-by-frame reading of various streams from a single video container. Much like previous video_reader API it supports the following backends: video_reader, pyav, and cuda. Backends can be set via `torchvision.set_video_backend` function. .. betastatus:: VideoReader class Example: The following examples creates a :mod:`VideoReader` object, seeks into 2s point, and returns a single frame:: import torchvision video_path = "path_to_a_test_video" reader = torchvision.io.VideoReader(video_path, "video") reader.seek(2.0) frame = next(reader) :mod:`VideoReader` implements the iterable API, which makes it suitable to using it in conjunction with :mod:`itertools` for more advanced reading. As such, we can use a :mod:`VideoReader` instance inside for loops:: reader.seek(2) for frame in reader: frames.append(frame['data']) # additionally, `seek` implements a fluent API, so we can do for frame in reader.seek(2): frames.append(frame['data']) With :mod:`itertools`, we can read all frames between 2 and 5 seconds with the following code:: for frame in itertools.takewhile(lambda x: x['pts'] <= 5, reader.seek(2)): frames.append(frame['data']) and similarly, reading 10 frames after the 2s timestamp can be achieved as follows:: for frame in itertools.islice(reader.seek(2), 10): frames.append(frame['data']) .. note:: Each stream descriptor consists of two parts: stream type (e.g. 'video') and a unique stream id (which are determined by the video encoding). In this way, if the video container contains multiple streams of the same type, users can access the one they want. If only stream type is passed, the decoder auto-detects first stream of that type. Args: src (string, bytes object, or tensor): The media source. If string-type, it must be a file path supported by FFMPEG. If bytes, should be an in-memory representation of a file supported by FFMPEG. If Tensor, it is interpreted internally as byte buffer. It must be one-dimensional, of type ``torch.uint8``. stream (string, optional): descriptor of the required stream, followed by the stream id, in the format ``{stream_type}:{stream_id}``. Defaults to ``"video:0"``. Currently available options include ``['video', 'audio']`` num_threads (int, optional): number of threads used by the codec to decode video. Default value (0) enables multithreading with codec-dependent heuristic. The performance will depend on the version of FFMPEG codecs supported.
