Please describe your issue below:

I’m using the Hdmi2InputService to display Hdmi input video in a view. If the view size small enough the video output to the display gets distorted. This effect is only shown when frame buffer compression is turned off.

The reason for us disabling frame buffer compression is to be able do frame captures of the video stream. If you could advice how to access decompressed image data while frame buffer compression is enabled we would appreciate it.

@ms_mt I downloaded your code and compiled APK to successfully reproduce the issue you mentioned. But you described another requirement in your article. So what are your specific real needs? Can you describe your real needs more clearly?

Hi @goenjoy
What I want to achieve is to be able to make video frame captures of an active HDMI input stream. The HDMI input video shall be visible in a resize-able window in our application.
In the current solution we are using the Android tv input framework and the Hdmi2InputService to set up the HDMI input video stream, similarly to the test application I provided. To enable frame captures we have done modifications in the kernel to hook into the video tunneling and access the vframes. We are using ge2d to copy image data from the vframes into the application.

The main issue we are having is that by default the image data is compressed if the video source resolution is 4k and I don’t know how to decompress the image data. When the compression is active the vframe also contain uncompressed image data but this image is down scaled to 1/4 of the original source and we want a full resolution image.
We would like to know if and how it’s possible to get decompressed image data from a vframe.

At the moment we have disabled the frame buffer compression on vdin0 which makes it possible to copy the image data. However with the frame buffer compression disabled we get the video distortion issue described in the first post when we minimize our window.

Long term we would like to keep frame buffer compression enabled so If you could provide some help on how to solve the image data decompression it would be very appreciated. For now we are using the workaround with compression disabled but we need to solve the video distortion issue so we also need a fix for that one.

The problem is a bit messy. We will only discuss one situation. Just don’t modify the code and keep the frame buffer compression enabled by default. Can you provide a more detailed description of the problem you encountered? It is best to provide the corresponding demo code to facilitate understanding of the problem you are describing. This is how we can provide you with advice.
Also, what do you want to use the data for?

Hi @goenjoy

Basically I want to run the Hdmi2InputService to display a video stream from HDMI in as is done in the sample code. But I also need a function to capture a bitmap from the same video stream while it’s playing by e.g. pressing a button.
This is to be able to take a “screenshot” of the HDMI in.

The problem is that I don’t know where I can access the uncompressed video data.

I have done some tests by modifying the videotunnel kernel module and copy frames there which works for full HD resolution since the video frames are not compressed.
But when switching to 4k resolution the video frames are compressed (afbc) and I’m not sure if and how I can access them in a decompressed format.

@ms_mt Our HDMI-IN can be used as a camera, and you can open the camera application to take photos or record videos. Can you call the camera API1 or camera API2 interface to meet your project requirements?

We did use the Camera API before but it had a few issues:

  • Tearing
  • Did not handle resolution switching well
  • No audio
  • The video stream turned black for a couple of seconds from time to time

The tv input api handles all of these bullets fine. It’s just the issue of image captures that is not solved.
I believe some of these issues were solved in your latest update but we have not had the time to test them and have already spent some time to switch to the tv input api so we would prefer to keep it.
