[Libav-user] Getting access to encoder's internal state

[Vasiliy Volkov]

Hi,
Is there any method to get encoder's current state? Precisely, I'm talking
about libx264 and I mean rate-control buffer fullness, vbv-delay, etc? I've
found this structure:
https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/4.0/structAVCPBProperties.html
but I can't see that any codec fills them. There are some filelds in codec
context also, but the marked as deprecated.

So what's the right method to access encoder's internal state?

Thanks

Name says it all, internal stuff is not available from outside.

Very disappointing. Sometimes application need this information to
recreates internal codec state
to continue processing.
